last day of clinic!

well today was the last day of my junior year clinic. I have to say that this semester has been full of learning experiences that have really helped me be a better hygienist.  At the beginning of the semester I felt like I was so incompetent and that I would never be a good hygienist and time goes to show that this is not true.  I am getting better and better each clinic session this is not to say that there will not be hard days and hard patients but it does give me hope that I will be a good or maybe even a great hygienist at the end of this program.  I didnt miss anything today which was great! I also finished my PEs which was also great! I felt today was a successful day! My goals for next semester are to keep improving in skill and in time

last monday clinic

today I saw a 1a which was really easy.  I really like seeing kids because they are so easy. I was able to finish really early today and i tried to get someone else to come in but nobody could so thats ok.  I only have one more clinic day left.  i have a class 2 coming in on wed. and i only have one more pe to pass off so that is my goal.

class 2!

Today I was able to see my grandma which was a good experience.  I was really nervous because she has some mobile teeth and i didnt want it to be me that extracted them.  She was a class two which was nice to clean because I feel like i am getting much better.  I really feel like i am getting the hang out this which kind of stinks because it is the end of the semester.  But that is ok I will feel really good next year!  I was also able to clean a denture which was nice to do again. I tried to give it to someone else but no one needed it so that worked out ok. My goals for clinic are to finish up my last requirements and pe.  I hope that it will work out!

class 1 a

Today I saw a class 1a which was nice because she was really easy!  I was able to also see my sister to do a pano and 4 bwx.  It was quite a quick clinic session because I had tow people to see today which was a good thing for me to get faster! Luckily it was my sister I saw today as my second patient because I was behind 30 mins.  or so.  I am glad that I pushed myself because I have not pushed that hard yet.  I felt like today was a good day because I made attainable goals that were hard but not too hard.  I am excited to see my grandma on wednesday!  My goal for wednesday is to complete her appointment with xrays and all!
