Yay!! I've been stressing about that. I screened a pt who has agreed to be my mockboard pt this morning. She's almost board quality, but she doesn't really want to wait until May anyway, because she needs some dental work done and her dentist won't do it until her teeth are clean. So, I'm still on the lookout for a board pt but I still have time.
My second pt was my class IV. I only got one quad done, because I had to record all of his probe depths and previous dental tx. He was soooo sensitive. I'm going to have to re-probe some areas while he is anesthetized because I could hardly touch him without him jumping and pulling away. I got to do some injections which was great. I haven't done any since last semester, but it seemed to come back ok. I was a little nervous though so I shook a little. I hate that! Does anyone have any ideas on how to fulcrum for the PSA so I have a little more control?
My afternoon pt cancelled last minute but I was able to find a 1B pt and that was great. At least I had someone in the chair! It went really fast. I would really like to have at least ONE week where both of my pt's show up. I haven't had one yet, but you never know. Next week could be it!

I guess no shows are the life of a dentist. No one really wants their teeth worked on, right? Glad things are going well though. Keep it up, you're almost done!
That's good you found a class iv and you got to do injections! I hope people start showing up for you. That's the pits when someone doesn't show up.
