Winding Down

After clinic yesterday (real pt day) I was really REALLY tired. I think it was just a combination of the excited stress and anxiety and the actual work that wore me out. Professor Costley was not able to have class today, but we had anatomy still. So we are off until finals week. I am really looking forward to the break-both Thanksgiving and for Christmas!

Real PT day...

Today was the real pt day. It went surprisingly well! I am totally exhausted, but also happy and relieved that it wen well and that it is done! I think only about a million more times before I will be ready to take the board! My cute niece Kami came today and was my pt. She did great.

Happy Bithday Gavin

Today Gavin turned 5. He is such a cute little kid. To celebrate his birthday we went to a hotel. Katie from school works at the one in Logan, and she hooked us up with a great deal. The kids really didn't even mind it was about 3 minutes away. They had a great time, and so did I. School is winding down, and I am ready for a break. I am REALLY glad that our finals are not comprehensive, it does help to ease the stress... a little anyways.

Mock pt day

Today was my turn as the operator for our mock pt day. It was just like the real thing from start to finish. It went well for the most part. The time crunch can be a bit frustrating, but I am sure that will come with time.

Power PE day

Today in clinic we passed off three PE's...big ones too! Air powder polishing-which went better than on monday-Sealants, and instrument sharpening. It went well. We have one PE to pass off for the semester and that is GREAT!

Air Powder Polisher...ugh!

Today in clinic we used the air powder polisher and did some sealants and each other. The sealants went well, and I think will get easier with practice, but it went well. Air powder polishing on the other hand...was not my favorite. We survived it, but it was not my favorite. All of the hygienists that I have asked said they don't really ever use it in practice. But we know how to do it, which is good.

Mock PT

Today was my turn as the operator in our mock pt. experience. It went well, but made me realize how fast the time goes when working on a pt. There is SO much to do, in a short period of time!
