I am so sick of No Shows

Today I had a patient no show. I've had three of these already this semester. I am so sick of them. I even called her when she was 10 minutes late and she said she would be right there. NOPE. So luckily I saw a 13 year old 1b. I'm glad I got her in my chair even though I don't need that classification at all. Hopefully I get lucky in the future. I'm getting really worried though because we only have about 7 more clinic sessions and I need to find 6 more quads of a class 2 to clean. It's basically impossible to find and clean them with that much time left. I'm so discouraged. What do I do?

Wow

So I had a class 5 today and I was expecting her to be similar to a class 1B. She wasn't. It was actually quite a bit harder. I was surprised. I passed off two PE's today. I think I have six more to pass off so I'm sitting good there. I've made it a goal to pass off 2 Pe's everyday. That way if I'm not able to pass off any for some reason I'm planning ahead. I also did my other 1B exam today. It went well I think. It took me 50 minutes to scale but overall I think it went very well. I'm really in need of class 2's. I don't have any coming and I need 10 quads. I hope it all works out. It must becasue it does for everyone.

FRUSTRATING

So today my pt FAILED me hard core. I called her yesterday at 3:00 and she said she could come in. However, this morning she didn't come and I called her 3 times and she didnt' answer. It makes me so mad because the semester is nearing an end and every day is so crucial. I just want to bawl on days like this. Luckily my husband cam in and I took a full mouth series on him so that was the only positive thing of the day.

What a Day

Today I got a lot done. My patient from the library came back - YEAH!. I was able to FM scale, do the explorer PE, do a sealant, and the air powder polish and Sealant PE. It felt great to get so much done in one day. I knew I would have a lot of time with her so I wanted to utilize my time the best I could. I got a little bit flustered trying to do that much in one day, but it all worked out in the end. I just need to remember to think through things before I do them and always make the next experience better.
