Ten Days Until Graduation!

I am super excited right now! I got all my requirements done today, I had a fun lunch with my girls, I saw fun patients today and graduation is only ten days away! It sure did come fast! I was sitting in Pod wrap today thinking, “I don’t have anything else clinic wise to stress about!” It is such a great feeling to know that I am almost done with school. I will miss my friends, teachers and some patients, but I am super happy to be done!

All Done With Papers!

It’s Friday and we don’t have class or clinic but I still had to make a trip up to the school to complete my Eaglesoft project.  I was happy to see that there were a few of my friends up their working on projects or doing the same exact thing. Lucky for me they were there because I had lots of questions. That is what I LOVE about our class, I don’t feel stupid asking stupid questions to you brilliant girls. It feels good to be done with the papers and projects but as the end gets closer it is getting harder for me because I won’t be around everyone in a few weeks. I vote we have collage reunions often so I can still see all my friends!

Almost Done...

I am supper excited about today! I was able to get all my PA's done and a few PE's.  I also am supper happy that i got my results back from boards and I passed! Next week I will be seeing my roommate and will finish up my requirements on her. Overall it was a good day :)

Why Are Injections So Hard For Me?

Today was going good until my afternoon pt that I had to numb up.  I had was finishing her today and I knew that I needed to do the Left PSA (which scared me) and the Left IA (which did not).  But I gave the Left PSA with no real problems; it was the stupid IA that got me. I went in to site of penetration and hit osseous like five times, so I withdrew and aimed higher. When I went in the second time I was able to get to site of deposition but when I was aspirating my stupid harpoon got disengaged! Then I had one more try to really go in and get her numb, but I wasn’t too scared because I knew from the second try where to go exactly. But when I got to site of deposition for the third try, I got a freaking positive aspiration and didn’t get to numb my pt! So the cleaning was really uncomfortable for her and me and I felt bad the whole time, thinking that my pt thought I was an idiot. Well…. I am starting to freak out because I still need to take my LA clinical board but this just shot down my confidence.

Class 4's are HARD!

So Today I saw my class four again and i really hope that i am an expert by the time i see another one! She was freaking hard! I wished I knew more of what I was doing because I struggled getting her calculus. She was super patient with me and I feel bad that after i scaled her mouth for an hour, i had to have my instructor scale with me for the next hour. I am excited that today is one month til graduation thou! The light is at the end of the tunnel, it just seems kinda dim still :)

Scared For Boards!

I am super stressed out right now! I think I had a mini panic attack at the end of clinic today (sorry for all who witnessed) I know that everyone probably feels the same way and I am glad that im not the only one freaking out! I am praying so hard that everything works out for everyone. Today we found more board pts and that worked out great so this can too! Good luck to everyone during the next two weeks!!!

Wanting to Join the Overwhelmed Club

I’m feeling a little overwhelmed today after clinic.  I had my morning pt from the resource list and really hoping she would be either a class three or four. Nope. She didn’t even need LA. My afternoon pt was also neither of the classes I need so in a way I feel like today was a waste. I did learn and got to practice my skills so that’s always good but I am still on the lookout for my class four. I have been praying really really hard that everyone can find board patients and I am hopeful for Fridays screening.
