Today was Mock Patient day and I worked on Candace. I was so nervous I was sweating the second they told me my pt was ready. Then I felt like I couldn't remember how to go through and appointment from start to finish. As I started it came back to me for the most part. I probed the entire mouth and that took forever and I still am not great at it but I feel like I'm getting better. Then I scaled the lower right quad and I didn't realize we were suppose to try and scale as many quads as we could so I was just taking my time and practicing positioning and the different strokes and trying out different instruments and then I got marked down for the amount of time it took me to scale one quad...oops!:). I feel like I learned alot and I'm excited for my real patient day on next Monday.
