Last day of clinic

I can't believe it! I never thought this day would come. I distinctly remember writing "First day of clinic" on my very first blog, on my very first day of dental hygiene. Now its the end! Surreal....
Today luck was in my favor. Coming into today I only needed four more quads of class III or IV. Maren gave me a patient that turned out to be a class III and she was willing to come in in the morning and in the afternoon! Four quads - check! I think everyone in clinic had success. We all seemed to get our requirements and we were all super willing to help one another.
I'm super excited to go out into practice. At the same time I'm going to miss the communication between my peers and how we all support one another. I'm going to miss my pod and all the good times we've had! This is bitter sweet for me. I know so many of us are ready to be done, and I'm ready! Believe me! At the same time, I'm going to miss all of you!!! Luvs!

Bit by bit

I'm slowly but surely getting all of my requirements. I finished a class III this morning, so now I only need 6 more quads and Mike was my patient later this morning. Whenever I have something to pass of he is the one to call! I did sealants and the diagnodent experience on him. He is so good to come in and help me out!
My class III pt this afternoon cancelled on me, but I was able to clean a walk in patient. She was 16 and she ended up being a class II. She had radiographic calculus! I felt so bad and I tried to do the best that I could with the amount of time I was given. Unbeknownst to me, she had to leave by 2:30.... Also this afternoon, Maren let me place Arestin. So now I need 6 quads of a class III and one more perio medicament placement. C'mon VA! Don't let me down! ha ha :)
