Mockboard Day

Well today was a mockboard day and it did not start out very well. Last night I called my patient and she decided that she did not want to come so she cancelled on me. I was so mad! So I told my dad that he would have to come be my patient even though he would not qualify. Well my dad came and luckily he had 10 clicks in 2 quads that they let him qualify for the board. Normally 10 clicks is not acceptable but since it mockboard and our first one they let it slide by. When I was cleaning my dad I thought he was way to easy and I kepted feeling and scaling and things would not come off and then I would get all confused with his fillings that I ended up missing 5 spots out of the 10 I had. So I didn't do so good but I guess its ok for the first one. All I can say is that this was much easier than surgery and chemo.

Hey Pam
You are amazing! I would have been freaking out if my patient cancelled on me. I did the same thing on mockboards. I kept second guessing myself and missed a few spots. It makes me so mad because it feels smooth and then when the instructors comes to check, you can feel the spot. Hopefully, we can improve on what we missed and just always give our best effort. I think the stress of it being a mockboard didn't help either:) You are so amazing and always do such a good job. I hope your chemo and radiation are going well!!!
