Senior Pics & Board Patients

Graduation is getting so so close! Next week is our last week of clinic. So happy for Pop and Thomas to be my last patients.

Today was a very exciting day!
1. I finished my last class II and got a 100% =))
2. Free stuff from the Crest man, gotta love free stuff!
3. Most importantly...LP AND BT HAVE A BOARD PATIENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy we get to share
I believe we were the last ones left that still needed a BP and we were cutting it very close. SRTA exam is May 27th. but without clinic we were not gonna have much luck finding a patient, or getting films etc..
4. UA-Fort Smith DH Seniors made the TOMS website!!

Now time to find a j-o-b!

I passed!!!

National board scores are in and I PASSED!!!!

I took the exam on 3-18-11, with 7 classmates at John Brown University in Fort Smith. I felt like I had passed after the test, but its so nice to have it in writing. My dad had text me at lunch saying the scores were in, but I was in clinic and knew I couldn't go home til after 5:00. I was so nervous I couldn't find out my score via text. Chad was so sweet to go to my house and get my letter. He sat in the parking lot after clinic so we could open it in the truck. Now I'm that much closer to becoming a RDH!!

Brooke, Morgan, and I had a little relaxation night, the night before the big exam. We got pedis and went to eat Olive Garden. My mom got us each a little good luck present:

Good Luck Panties!!

Now I only need to find a board patient and pass SRTA!!
I finally think there is a light at the end of this long and crazy tunnel!
