Last semester I only had one pt no-show on me. I was so mad that I never called to reschedule her. Well, she called into the clinic and I got her name since I'm her preferred provider. I decided to give her a second chance, only because she had radiographic calculus 2 years ago. Silly me, of course she no-showed (techinically she came 35 minutes late, but that's as good as a no-show since she had to be out of there by 2:30). Fortunately, my sweet sweet little bro came in to save the day. I can't wait to get out of school where no-shows don't totally ruin my life, although I realize that they will always be a huge problem.
Good news, I found a mock board!! She wouldn't really qualify for real boards, but she'll have to do for mocks. I got this pt's name from the women's health connection last November but I waited until now to call her. It's a really weird situation because she doesn't speak English at all, she's middle-aged, and she's only been in America for one year, but the lady that I remember meeting at the health connection spoke English, was old, and it was a little over a year ago. There is definitely something fishy about this whole situation, but who cares, I have a mockboard!!
I felt really retarded today. It was like it was my first time seeing a pt. I don't know why I was struggling so bad, but whatever. My goal for next time involves being a good hygienist.
Today I had to ask myself why I wanted to be a hygienist anyways. I hate days like today when you question one of your biggest life decisions.
