Mom

My mom was my patient today. That was fun for her and I to see my improvement from the last time she came in. She was my first official patient. And I was slow and not very confident. Well today she came in and I was able to do her whole OD and cleaning in around 30 minutes, which was a vast improvement from two full days of the first time. So that was fun. I was also able to pass off a few needed PE's on my mom, so I am glad she was willing to do that for me. It was a good day. And life is good!

SERIOUSLY...

All I want to do is get healthy and lose some weight... therefore I workout! Well this morning I was working out and lucky me... sprained my ankle! BAD!!! The pain was incredible... I have never felt that sort of pain ever before... and I have had TWO children!!! Lol. This was not a great way to start out the day... especially since I had my Process of Care Exam (Board #2) scheduled. So I did my best to shower and get myself ready to take the exam. Luckily my sister had the day off, so she was able to drive me to the exam and help me into the building, and then drive me home. I had no time to be nervous today for this exam... my mind was else where. I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. If I do not pass... I have a good excuse, RIGHT?? Anyway... only time will tell. Even though I can't walk and my foot hurts like HELL, life is still good! :)

MockBoard #3

Well girls.... I FINALLY PASSED a mockboard! Today was a good day! It was nice to know that I can actually pass one of these exams, now lets just hope I can do even better on the real board! I also found out that I passed my FIRST board exam! LA written! I was so worried about the results of this exam... Hardest exam I have EVER taken! But the board Gods were kind to me and I passed! Wahooo!!! Life is good and getting a bit stressful! :)

Happy Love Day

I really am not a HUGE fan of Valentine's day! Never have been. But Happy Love day to all my girls! I love you all!!! Today I did some screenings, in hopes of finding a board/mockboard patient! I did find a mockboard... but she did not qualify for real boards! But glad to have a mockboard. I am going to PASS this one! I hope anyway! I need the confidence going into the real one here in a couple weeks! This patient is a class II and NOT going to be as hard as my past 2 mockboard patients!!! This is good news! So I am happy and looking forward to next week, gonna rock this one! Life is good! :)

LA MOCKBOARD

Well today was our first and only LA mockboard. I was a little nervous... but ready to pass a mockboard. I proceeded with my IA... got to site of deposition, aspirated, and got my FIRST positive aspiration! Awesome! So that kind of threw me for a loop, but I went with it, did what I thought was correct and moved on to the PSA. Site of penetration... I see... I see... proceed, and then I hit BONE! Seriously??? So needless to say, everything that could go wrong did. I finished and was unsure if I passed or not. After everyone was complete, Alexander and Naylor call me over... I sit down, look at the paper and I PASSED both of them!!! I was shocked! They said I handled both situations perfectly! Today was a gooooood day girls! Life is good, I passed a mockboard! :)
