Open Wide!

Clinic went better today. I observed my peer pal yesterday and realized that she doesn't know everything either. She said this is a continual learning experience and not to expect to get everything on the first or second try. When I came to clinic today I kept that in mind. We did a full mouth probe on our pod partner. I felt better about it today than Monday and I really liked having instructor vining watching everything and helping me correct my mistakes. That was effective. He said I need to not be so hard on myself. That is probably true. I still can't see the markings on the probe to get a really acurate reading but sh!! Don't tell. I have a hard time seeing small details. I think the clinic observation was effective for me and will help me as I go along.
