Instruments...Instruments There are so many!

So today we talked about all the different instruments we will be using... I was really excited when we got to bag everything up for sterilization, it makes me think we are getting closer to being able to scale on each other.  I was also a little nervous because I got to pass of my probing and exploring.  I really thought it was fun when I did it though.  So if any of you are scared because of the whole 3min thing for probing... don't be its really not bad.  :0)  Well everyone have a good rest of the week, just think its almost Friday! 

Explorers!!!!

Today was fun learning how to use the explorers and working on each other.  I was also glad to be able to pass of my intra-oral exam.  I think the P.E.'s are just getting harder but I do like the challenge.  I'm a little nervous about passing off probing and explorers next week... I think I'm going to try to practice on my hubby a lot this weekend.  Haha  Well everyone good luck on Costley's test and I'll see ya tomorrow! 

Probing!!!

Today in Clinic we learned how to prob... I was a little scared at first, but it wasn't as bad a I thought, it was actually pretty fun.  I didn't really like being the pt. as much as extra oral but it wasn't that painful.  :)  After using the Loops I have to get me some of those, I love them!  Thanks ladies for letting us try them out.  Well I hope everyone has a great night and see ya all at convention, I'm excited to try on and hopefully buy my own loops!  SEE YA! :0)

Intra-Oral exam

Oh my... I thought that extra oral exam was a lot to remember.  that was easy compared to this.  There is so many land marks and things to remember.  I hope that I can remember this stuff in my little brain.  I feel like these PE's are just going to get harder.  I liked being the pt. of the extra-oral exam better. haha.  Well I hope I can study and remember intra-oral for pass of day! :0)

Cancer Screening...

Today in clinic was very relaxing... I loved being the pt. while my pretend Hygienist gave me a great head and neck massage. Thanks Megan! :0) Also I was glad to pass of HHX/HHX/RX and Vitals.  I hope everyone is having fun in clinic, I really enjoy it, and our PA's.  I got to get back to studying for Costley and our rad test.  See ya all tomorrow!  

Vitals

Today was pretty fun being able to listen and read each others vital signs.  I've never done this before today so it was a fun experience for me.  Also I was glad that we got to pass of chair/fulcrum P.E.'s I want to stay on top of the P.E.'s so when the really hard ones come we wont be to far behind.  I can't believe we have three tests this week good luck everyone!!!   

OH MY HEALTH HISTORY!!!

Well today during clinic was a little overwhelming... it's crazy how much info we have to chart down.  I know it's a good thing but man oh man it's so much.  I know once we get the hang of it, it wont be so bad.  I just hope all my patients that come in will be very very healthy and not on any meds. :)  The movie we watched, if saliva was red... that was sick, I bet ya if saliva really was red no one would work in the medical field.  haha Well I hope everyone does good on the rad. test and studies hard for class tomorrow.  See ya all then!
