Mock Day

Katee was such a trooper. I had a really good experience with her and I am grateful that we were paired together. The day seemed to go very smooth and I was able to get almost everything done on time. I was late getting my OD check but there were a lot of restorations that needed to be documented which I was the most nervous about because when we practiced that in clinic I worked with Julie and her restorations are soooooo hard to see. I felt much better about it after working with Katee. After I had my OD things went well. I was able to scale a quad and get my scale check on time. I didn't miss anything either which made me feel great. I even walked her out at the right time.
Charting on the other hand took much longer. I tried to get my chart in on time, but by the time you chart the green sheet for someone with a lot of restorations your time is up. I can see how not using the laminated forms helps with that.
All in all, though, it was a great day and I was very lucky with my patient, and I feel much more prepared for my real patient.
