Basic Learning for Clinic

Today in Clinic we learned how to properly set-up our operatory and then take everything down after patient treatment. My goal today was to pass of my Personal Protective Equipment PE, which I did. We also learned how to change the vacuum trap and run the lines every afternoon we are in Clinic. I felt that this day was pretty productive, considering we learned the basics that we will be doing every time we come to the Clinic.

SO CONFUSED!!!

I made it through my first week of classes....but I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to be doing. I've got a couple classes figured out (as far as what is expected each week), but I am so lost when it comes to Clinic and Hygiene 1. Supposedly Blackboard is up and running, but the powerpoints for class still aren't up, and I can't find anything that says what we need to have prepared for Clinic each day. I hope I can get things together this week!!!

Today was my first day of Clinic!! It was a very easy day and good thing, cause I've been very stressed. I got all my instruments put away, learned how to use EagleSoft and did a scavenger hunt. We'll see how the rest of the week goes, but I'm just glad I survived the first day :)

Orientation

I am starving!!! We have been at orientation all morning, and now we are setting up our blogs so we can journal during the program. Hopefully we will get a lunch break soon!!
