Set up and tear down

Today we learned to set up our units and tear them down. I also passed off my PPE PE, however I put my mask below my chin, I didn't even realize that I did, ...stupid stupid habit.  I also used the blue boa for the first time. I thought that it worked really well. We were able to use them on the student next to us, which was much better than using them on a typodont. Overall today's clinic was ok.

I Passed

I passed my first PE. Congrats to me. Today we worked on our typodonts using air/water. We also had a guest speaker that invented the blue boa. I acutally used to work with the inventor when I was a dental assistant for Dr. Capener. She was a hygienist and it was fun to see her again. I feel good about today.

First day of school

Today was my first day of school. I had a nightmare last night that I forgot everything that I needed, I lost one of my new clinic shoes and then oil spilled all over my scrubs. I was anxious, to say the least, when I woke up. However, today has been good. There is a lot of information and I will work hard but I feel like the program will be fun. All the students are really nice and helpful as are the instructors.

I did it

I created my first dental hygiene blog.
