Second Clinic

Just got done with the second clinic. There is so much information to remember and I sure hope I can remember everything. I know we have a PE coming up and I feel like I have already forgotten it because we are on to something else. The only advice I can give myself is to take more notes and study EVERYTHING!!!!
Today we learned positions with repect to the patient. My patient today was Dena. Being left handed eveything is back words and it makes things a little harder. To nail this clinic I think I will head home and practice with someone. Just so I don't forget this as well.

Today was quite overwhelming. There is a lot to remember and some of the procedures we do here in clinic is a little different than what I have done in my other offices. But I am phsycing myself up for the rest of year because I know it is going to become overload from here on out....more than I already feel.
My goal is to try and remember where everything is and remember how to do all the procedures correctly. To execute this plan I will head home and review the module over and over again until I can get it right. Along with the PE I will read and re-read it. If I can I will try and recreate a picture of the op and try to identify where all the barriers need to be placed and make notes on closing down the op at the end of day.
One thing I would try to suggest is that when we split up in groups or pods, the instructors make sure they are teaching the exact same things. I felt like I was only getting bits and pieces from every different instructor. But over all I think I got the majority of all of it.
Well....I'm off to go study.
