Omg. I'm so nervous.
I have my clinical exam tomorrow. I try to tell myself not to be nervous, because I've been doing this (cleaning teeth) for the past 3 semesters. I guess I'm nervous, because this is something that can make or break me. And there's so many things that could cause me to fail: patient selection, if my patients doesn't have enough calculus (tartar), if her pocket depths aren't deep enough (I had to tell her not to floss until after this was done with). Etc.
I was so anxious last night that I couldn't sleep.
In the event that anyone fails this, we have to find another patient, and I think we have to pay the $978 fee again.
