It is bad when your mom tells you that you need to update your blog. I'm done.....well, almost. I graduated last Monday, and can't believe how quickly the past 4 years have gone by. I took my anesthesia boards 2 days later (Wednesday) and passed. This is the only board that we find out our results the day we take it. On Thursday, I found out that our entire class passed the National written boards (350 questions and 8 hours long) that we took in March. I am so proud of my classmates. We have really worked together to help each other succeed. I surprised myself and did better than I imagined. I received an 85% and was above the national average. On Friday I took my clinical board. I had to "clean" 1/4 of a patient's mouth in 2.5 hours. This seems simple, but you have no idea what a person can build up in their mouth having never had their teeth cleaned in 27 years. My patient was very reliable and funny. When I would ask if he was okay he would tell me "I'm fine, but are you okay?" I have to wait 4 weeks to get the results of my clinical board. If I pass, I just have to apply for my license and I can finally start practicing. I am so grateful for everyone's love, support, and prayers. Thank You!! Today has been such a great day. I was able to work out, run errands, clean and I'm going to make dinner! It feels weird to not have to study. I hope everyone is having a great Monday.
