What a fun clinic day -we went over proper positioning and air/water syringe. As a zero experience student I definitely struggle with terminology. I really have to think about what is being said and it makes me slower. I hate that!! I am amazed though at how much help I have here, so I feel confident that with extra effort I can manage to grasp the concept. I got over another hurdle today -passing off PE's, not as bad as I thought.

One day down...

There is a lot to think about. I've never visited a foreign country before but I have a strong feeling I can now feel empathy towards that. We worked on cleaning, setting up and breaking down our workstations. There is a lot to think about. Maybe if I keep reviewing the process mentally it will help. Right now it's difficult to remember when it's time to de and re glove!! I think it will also be difficult to pass off our PE's because we just barely learn a skill and then we will be on to something new. My goal will be to keep mentally reviewing when to glove and when to change gloves and which instruments need to wear condoms.....
