First Day

 As I prepared my materials and books last night for the first day, I felt pretty confident that today would be easy going. However, I quickly realized that I wasn't prepared with the essentials. I didn't bring all of my modules today, nor did I have a pen. There have only been a few times that I have ever felt so unprepared for first day, and I can add today to the list.
  The upside was how fast I was able to catch on. The software, Eaglesoft, is pretty easy to navigate and use. I will say the speed of the network sucks though, and Patterson dental could take some notes from Dentrix on efficiency. When you have 16 people all trying to make appointment, it sure does throttle down the network.
  I do have to say, that whoever designed our operative's cupboards, they forgot the length of our instruments. I can't believe someone would actually build cupboards that don't open up enough to get put the instrument trays without pulling them out on an angle. Maybe they bought them pre-owned...hmm. Anyway, today was quite the long day, with 4 hours of Clinical Lab and 4 hours of Radiology lab. I was fighting to stay awake in radiology when we did powerpoint presentation, but once we were in the radiological part of clinic, staying awake wasn't much of a problem.
 It was quite fortunate that I didn't mess anything up for first day, just forgot some of the essentials.

Mark out.
