Mockboard #1

Well today was the day.. Our first day of mockboards. I was pretty nervous but not horrible until last night when I had my husband call my Spanish speaking patient to confirm her, again. And lo and behold, she got a job and couldn't come to her appointment. I was a little frazzled and I had to go to work that night. I didn't know what to do and I kind of thought it was a hopeless case and I would have to be ok with getting one point lower than the lowest grade. BUT my class is amazing and pulled through. So many people offered to help me and I got a patient because of them. So I had a patient come in this morning, I had to take xrays on him and get him to fill out all his paperwork. I was a little stressed and losing it because I was so worried about getting things done. I ended up passing boards- I am shocked I did considering how many pieces of calculus I missed and the probe depths I missed but I still passed and I am not complaining. I need to work on my time management. I spent too much time with my ultrasonic today. My patient was great though. I was able to have my first experience with LA on an actual patient and I felt that really went really well. And so you know this might be kind of jumbled first of all because I am jumbled but there are other girls in the room talking so I am kind of listening to them while writing this so sorry about that. But today is over and I am glad!
