Mid-term/Friends and Family..........TIME?

Ok, it's been SUPER busy! Mid-terms were great-got a 100% YAY for me......We had friends and family this past weekend and despite the snow we had a great day.  Roads were nasty and it was cold but once we got to school it was fantastic.  I was really nervous to work on my person but it went well! Really glad that we are on break because the class is fast and sometimes we all just need a break :)  We are getting close to final and CPR and I can't believe how fast the 12 weeks has gone-where did the time go?  Anyway have a great week and will try to post more often but remember I am in school and need to focus on my studies ;) LOL...... 

Week four came and went!!!! So far we've done prophy's,impression's,study mods,charting-I know I'm forgetting something, but that is so much that we have covered in such a short period....I think I want to go into to Ortho, it sounds great!  One of my instructors is in ortho and she LOVES it, I want to LOVE my job also :) I am really loving this class and I have to tell you it's because of the instructors-they have made learning this dental stuff FUN.


See ya next week.

We had our first class last weekend, WOW a lot of information was given to us. Mesial,Distal,Lingual.AHHHHHHHH.  It all sounds foreign at this point and I know it will come together soon.  We have labs tonight and we are charting each others mouths.  Im nervous and excited, this is all so new and I feel like a toddler just learning to walk.  I will get my bearings soon and update you next week.

Cheers-

Almost there---

We had CPR this weekend and it was great!!! Passed....YAY.  Class is wrapping up and we are ready to enter into the world of dental assisting.  Im really nervous! The instructors have said we will all have a learning curve the first few months we are on our own----I am ready, I think :)  We've taken as much info as we can so let's apply to our new careers.  I want to thank our instructors for the countless hours of instruction, I know you guys work really, really hard and I am so thankful for what you do!

Back to the books

After having a great Christmas break I'm ready to hit the books again tomorrow!!!  Ready to see what good things our instructors have in store for us.   One thing I can say about this class is we always have an exciting new way to learn.  Cheryl and Amady do a really good job of  keeping it real.  Friends and family day is coming soon and I can't wait to report back to you.  

Saturday 15, December.  WE won the Facebook Photo contest-- So we got to have a Pizza Party!! (After our work was done of course!)  We did Composits today. -- Lots of information and lots of practicing.  The teachers are sooo helpful and patient.  We also had a pop quiz today. Love this class, the people and all the stuff I'm learning.  I want to start working on my resume and get busy on finding a place for my externship this week.  Over half of the people in my class have theirs!! So excited for my future in Dental Assisting.

Potluck and amalgam's

Today was the best day so far!  We had the best class potluck ever!!!  Food was amazing and wonderful.  We spent the day learning about amalgams-I have to say they are hard, and fun at the same time.  We got to suction while the instructors prepped the typodont's.  This was great practice, while it was only on a fake person it was still very helpful :). A big shout out to our instructors who are the most patient people I think I've ever met.....we are moving right along with this class-I love it!
