Class II Exam!

Today I was at WSU clinic! What a fun day. My first pt. a class II and I was able to complete his treatment and I also declared him as an Exam. I passed with flying colors! It was such a great experience. Because I had him as an exam, I liked working under the pressure I put myself under to do a good job. I really enjoyed it and he was a great patient! My afternoon patient was also wonderful and I was able to finish him too. He was only a 1B so not too tough but still, I felt really accomplished. I absolutely LOVE working in the clinic. It is so exciting to me!

First day back in Clinic!!

What an exciting day! Today is officially my first day of Patient treatment in Weber State's Clinic. Last week was supposed to be my first but I took the day off to get ready for my wedding! Yes... I got married on Friday Sept. 4th to the man of my dreams (Mike Jasper)! He is Perfect! So now I'm official Hailey Jasper but I can't be official in the clinic yet which is quite the bummer! Anyway... back to my patients today... I was able to complete an entire class V patient and start on a class III/II. It was so much fun! I love working in the clinic and watching calculus come off in chunks! It is so fulfilling and self esteem boosting to watch it! I just love it! I'm excited for the semester to get going and see lots of patients. My instructor was a great help today and I'm excited to be working with her this year. Today was just all around Successful and I had a great experience!

Completed Patient!!

Today was super successful! I was once again at the VA. The faculty there is awesome! I really enjoy Connie, who is our Weber State teacher and the dental assistant, Shara. However, there is one lady whom I feel is out to get me. Apparently I did something terribly wrong over the summer and she now thinks I'm a "diva" so she ALWAYS points out my flaws. She makes me do things that the other girls don't have to do and basically makes me feel like an idiot. I try to be so nice to her but no matter what, it's not good enough for her. I've decided to just continue being myself and not worry about how she treats me. It's such a great experience to be there that I'm going to try and not let her get me down. I was able to scale and root plane 4 quads of a class III which AMAZED me!! I felt super accomplished and very happy! My afternoon patient was a class II and I was able to finish him as well. Today was super awesome and I had a great time!
