Week 2 - The Basics

So I made it past the first week. The first week went by pretty slow so I hope things pick up a little.
Today in clinic we actually worked on each other! It was pretty hilarious. Kailene kept sucking my lip and tongue. We laughed pretty hard each time that it happened. Prof Costly asked us if we were having fun giving each other hickies. AH!
I'm hoping that I've got the basics of PPE down... Just don't touch dirty things with your dirty hands right? If only it was that easy.

Today on the carride from Logan Ashlee and I talked about CHINA!
If you are reading this, you SHOULD go to China! The more people, the more fun it will be!
I hope that I will be able to raise enough money to go. It will be an experience of a lifetime.

Water Water everywhere

So today we played around with the air-water and suction. I'll just tell you right now that I gave myself a nice shower. (Which is good cuz when you have to leave at 6:30 you don't have much time for a shower(yuck, I know))
Someday I will learn how to not spray water all over my patient. I worry that my patients won't want to come back just because they leave as though they just went to Splash Mountain.

We also learned how to wash our hands and barrier. You think that you don't need to learn this time and time again but it's something I always do wrong. Can we just decide on when gloves should be worn and not? I'm so confused!

I passed my Eaglesoft PE with flying colors so that makes me happy. I hope the rest are like that one but I'm sure they won't.

My car ride to Logan could quite possibly by turned into a soap opera.
Today on The car ride of our lives
We shared our stories of how we hated our proposals. haha. I'm not the only one! YAY!
Stay tuned for more

1st day... Am I a freshman again?

So I feel like a freshman once again. After being in college for 3 years I am now a first timer at Weber State.
Ashlee and I walked up to the hygiene building with our arms full of instruments and books and I had to take a breather... So much stuff! (Or I'm just a pansie)
Today in lab we learned about eaglesoft. I feel lucky that I was able to learn this system and hope that I can help those around me when they need it.
I also got to share my most embarrassing moment... Although I'm SURE everyone will forget it.

My outlook on hygiene school so far... Looks good. Looks easy? haha... I'm sure it will get worst. I'll keep ya up to date.

Well, off to the hour drive to the place I call home.

Orientation = Brain overload?!

So here I am finally! I've worked for three years to get here and I can't believe that I've finally arrived. There has been a lot of info shoved into our heads and some of it just won't fit!
I'm so happy to be here and excited to get involved and educated!
Hello Professional World! Here I come!

P.S. BRUSH YOUR TEETH!
