Ok so today was SOO stressful! My patient was so nice, I was glad to
work on him. It made it difficult because he only spoke spanish, but I
was able to get by, I had Lizzy's husband be a translator for me and I
am so grateful that he was there to help.The flow of mock boards was
stressful and I always felt like I was missing a step and I felt like
nothing was making sense to me because I was so nervous. It went well,
but it seemed like it just flew by. Two hours goes by WAY faster than I
wanted it to. Before I knew it it was almost time to get my patient
out of the chair. I am so glad that we do mock boards to help me get
the flow of things and then I will be more prepared for boards. It is
crazy how you feel like you got everything but still manage to have
missed some spots. I only missed two spots so i was glad about that,
but always room for improvement. I still passed that is all that
matters. Half way through the appointment and relaxed and went over
what I had done with my explorer really light to help find anything I
missed and I sometimes I noticed I would tense up and when i relaxed i
was able to have better tactile.
You would think that scaling one quad in two hours would be less stressful, it is crazy how fast the time flies by. After I as done scaling I allowed myself 20 minutes to probe and do recession and I think it was enough time to not feel rushed to get him out the door to be checked. After today I felt a ton of stress was lifted off me. What a relief to have it over with..... only 2 more to go and then the REAL DEAL!!
