mockboards

Well it has been an interesting and stressful week mainly becuase of mockboards. I could not call my patient becuase she can't speak English and it has taken a few days to get a hold of her. Not knowing if my patients will show up is the biggest stress so far this semester. I have been studying like crazy for my written tests, but it's hard to control if my patients show up or not. Tomorrow is mockboard and as long as the patient shows up and she qualifies then I will get a chance to clean, since I need to practice before the real boards.
I had a class 4 patient this morning at the VA, really easy! He was so cute, but very hard of hearing. So far I am doing really well with my classifications and PEs. I just need to make sure that I am really careful with what I can control for my boards. I am trying not to be stressed, but I did go cross country skiing this weekend with Greg and my dad and that was so fun! It was good to get out and actually do something besides studying.
