Roommate to the Rescue!
My loser of a pt. didn't want to show today, so I called my roommate and she was able to come in! This was just for my afternoon pt. My morning pt was awesome, she is a returning pt and is always reliable. I always feel like I can't express how grateful I really am for her! With her, I learned a very valuable lesson- put the ora on the right way! I am such a dumb blonde sometimes and when I went to take her anterior PA's I had the ora ring on upside down, luckily it was just scan-x so it didn't take a year and a half to retake them :) My afternoon pt was such a lifesaver and I also learned that I need to work on my time management with 1B's. I need to even out my time with each quad that I scale. I feel like I spend soooo much time on the UR where I start, then not as much time anywhere else but I still get the same result. Note to self: set time goals again this semester!

Me and that dang ora have had our moments too! I have the same goal this semester, to set time goals!!
ReplyDeleteI thought about having a vibrating timer in my labcoat to help me keep on schedule. I havent done it yet, but I thought I'd forward the idea along. Or you can ask your patient to watch the clock and tell you when you should be half way through his/her mouth. They have nothing else to do! ;) Being a fast and efficient clinician is a struggle! But I found that once I told my instructor that it was something I was working on, she has been really good to help me. Hopefully this helps!
