Clinic...the 2nd Week

So today starts the second week of Hygiene training and clinic...I am still alive! We are chugging right along learning a bunch of PE's. Today I passed off my EagleSoft PE and learned unit set up and break down procedures. I got to be Megan's patient for a rinse, which I needed after the mouthwash burned, what felt like, a giant hole in my mouth and made my tongue go numb! That was fun! I am having fun so far, my only complaint is these hot lab coats. But since that is part of our PPE PE, I have to wear it! Hopefully I will survive! Till next time!!

First Clinic Days...

I am through with my first week of clinic and it was pretty fun. I am excited to start learning all the different techniques and skills. I want to start removing calculus NOW! Monday we organized our instruments and got everything put away and learned Eaglesoft and today we used the air/water syringe and suction on our typodonts and learned the unit set up and break down. I am feeling a little better about the schedule and being where I need to be when I need to be. I think by next week I will be in full swing....hopefully!!

Orientation

Today was orientation and I my head is spinning! I am excited to start but I need to get everything in order! We have a TON of instruments and I am really wondering if we are going to use them all! Should be fun! Here we go!!
