Mockboard #2

Today was our second mockboard and I was probably more nervous for this one because my patient is the same patient I'm using for the real board. I wanted to do well so that I would feel confident going into the real board. Everything was going along great and then I realized I only had like 15 minutes left to do head & neck and probing and all of that I started to panic. I can't believe how fast the time past. For the real board I need to be sure I watch my time better. I walked my patient to the desk right at the check-out time so I was fine but I don't want to cut it that close on the real board. I felt really nervous about my score and I was please to know that I only missed thress spots one of which wasn't a test site and that was good becuase it was actually just tooth anatomy but on the real board if they determined it was calculus they would still count it as an error because I don't get to check the spot and have discussion like with mockboards. I also missed to probing spots but, my instructor said he's not worried about that if I just take my time and double check them. I passed and I feel really good now about the real board. Still nervous cause it's kind of a big deal but I think I can do it!
