It's been awhile!!

Hi all,
Been lazzzzzzzzzzy with the blog I know! I would like you to sign up for a free membership to Hygiene Town.com. http://www.hygienetown.com/It's a great magazine and fun to post to other students and/or professionals online. Review the site & post your opinions. I believe when you subscribe that you are given the choice of online, hard copy or both. Chose both!

I think we can all use the down time coming up at Thanksgiving.
You are all doing fabulous!! I have no doubts about any of you, but forget or don't always acknowledge the fears and doubts that you have about yourselves during preclinic. I am invested in each of you and truly care about your progress and development. I have watched 4 classes struggle with the same concerns and they have all for the most gone on to great success with instrumentation. So will you, all of you.

Reading Assignments

Hi everyone,
I've gotten a few questions about the reading assignments and how much depth you all should be studying the information.
Good questions. I certainly expect you to read the information for much of it relates directly to your clinical experience in the future. Keep in mind that I am giving you information that will directly relate to patient care and the readings are to enforce the subject matter. I think we need to get into the semester a bit and you will feel the depth in which you are to study the chapter material. You will need to be familiar with the terminology from a chapter listed in the beginning and I would suggest posting when you each have questions about subject depth, I don't mind answering at all.

Your new power points are in your boxes! Have a great evening.
