a bit of stress makes everything more interesting

My goal for next time. Always warn the instructor when you have two patients. I don't know what was going on for me today. I sat down and looked in my patients mouth and had no idea what to do. Then I got her out late when my next patient was waiting. Then I couldn't find a chart and well to sum up the day it was positively long. Next time I will relax more and watch the instrumentation video before I come so I'm ready to run when I sit down. Above all I will calm down and not let myself get frazzed!

  1. Seeing two patients increases the craziness exponentially, not just times two. I mean just tearing down the unit and re-setting-up (yes it is a phrase) takes like 10 minutes. Good job, we all have our down days.
