VICTOR-Y

So today I finished victor, my class IV VICTORY, VICTORY!!!!!!!!! I was able to give 4 injections and pass off 3 p.e's and this afternoon I finished my mockboard, passed off 3 p.e.'s on her and did 2 sealants so today was a very productive day, yet, I am still worried about my class III. So far i haven't seen any, and to be honest, if i don't get one and the VA chances are i won't cause i am booked till the end of the semester and not thinkin any of them will be III's BOOO THIS SUCKS

Oct. 27

Today I had VA, lucky me, my first pt. was a 1B (good thing I drove down here in the snow for that great qualification) and my afternoon pt. pulled a no show. BOO. Anyways, my first pt. I don't think my first pt. knew what a toothbrush was, his plaque was out of control but had ZERO CALCULUS!! How does that happen? Lucky fellow I guess. But his gums were very angry to say the least and it still took me an hour to clean him up. And the bleeding was worse than the plaque so I couldn't see a thing and I went through a pack of 2x2's but he was a very nice guy, easy to talk to and the time went fast.

Good day

I saw another 1A, which I didn't need the quads but i had forgotten to do an eaglesoft so that worked good. She had a PFI of 0% so I spent a lot of time on OHI with her and her mom. Then in the afternoon i saw my mockboard and i cleaned the other half of her mouth and it went well:)

VA vent

K, I gotta be honest. I absolutely HATE the V.A. I try to like it, and just change my attitude but I just DREAD it. Gosh I just feel like this is MY education, and I am doing this for FREE so maybe you would treat us with a tiny spec of respect. I keep getting told up there that "this is not a learning facility," Really? Cause I could of sworn I was paying money for this and I could've sworn the whole point of going to the VA was to get practice; On to the computer system. What?????????? I think I finally got a hang of it, now that half the semester is over, but I was like so worried about screwing up the computer system I couldn't get as much cleaning done as I should have cause I was so pre-occupied with entering crap into the computer, then It would magically disappear, so i would have to go back in and re-enter, p.s. if there is something that has zero correlation to my boards, I'd rather not waste my time stressing and worrying about it. Ok, now that is out of my system, I am going to change my attitude and the next time you hear from me, I will LOVE the VA.

Yay for me! finally

So today was a good day. It could have been a BIG problem but it ended up good:). I had a pt. call in and cancel his appt. the night before so i turned to my list I made at the women's health connection and the first 2 people didn't answer,so the 3rd person I called answered and said she would be there in the morning. Yay. So, she showed up and ended up qualifying for the mockboard...YAY!! Love when you strike good luck:) So i didn't clean her, i just took xrays and went over OHI she has never had a cleaning in her life so alot of what i told her was brand new news to her. So now the trick is getting her to show up.

good day

today was a good day. Both of my patients showed up so that in itself is a good day. I pass off some P.E.'s and got some qualifications completed so that is a great day. I feel like, however, I don't feel like I am detecting the calculus as well as i should. So, I will work on that:)

we need back up here!

K so remember my nice little class IV? yeah, well he decided he wanted to come next tuesday or wednesday instead of today and not tell anyone about it. Yet, when I talked to him last night at 8:00 pm he claimed he woule be here. Then he doesn't show, i call him and he's all "oh yea, I want to come next tuesday or wednesday" well guess what bud, I'm not here those days! Anyways, my sweet little sister-in-law flew out of bed and was here in a half hour bless her little heart:) She was a 1B with light calc. on the lingual of her mand. anteriors but everything went really well. Except i need MORE XRAYS!!! Everyone that has come in so far to this point has already had them. BOOOOO!

Oh yeah class IV? BRING IT!!!

So today I found a class IV, yeehaw!!!!!! So....I sit down to get to work, it takes me about an hour to do 1 FREAKING QUAD, yeah, you heard me right, and I was feeling pretty good. I was getting massive amounts of calculus of this dude, there was absolutely NO WAY he could have any left. Or so I thought. And boy did I think wrong. Perry came over to check me and after about 2 seconds said "ok, we're going to go ahead and finish him up later." Uh...what's that suppose to mean? Well let me tell you. THis means I burnished every interproximal's calculus. Nice. I was so sure too. SO now, I need to work on freaking interproximals and what the He*& does burnished calculus feel like anyways? JEAZ GUYS THIS IS FRUSTRATING!!! So I got in a fight with a class IV and he won. We'll see about next time Victor, I'm going to kick you interproximal calculus' trash!!!!!!!!!
