just maybe...

I might be a little on the stressed out side. I should get national board results either this week or next. I am trying to think positive thoughts and I know the odds are in my favor but it's been a long wait and I just want to know how I did. Regional boards are this Friday. I know how to clean teeth, it's not that part I'm worried about. What if they reject my patient? I don't have a backup. No one else in the class has a backup. Heck, 2 girls don't even have patients! What if my paperwork is not done correctly? I need time at school to complete some of the papers because I need access to the chart. I have all the papers completed that I can do at home but N wrote in blue ink. What if blue ink is not acceptable? I write everything in black ink. That's what we were taught...black ink only. If my paperwork is incorrect, they can reject my patient! If N touches the light, they can reject my patient. If he doesn't brush his teeth in the morning, they can reject him! So many reasons why they can reject the patient...what if????
I need it to be Friday at about 8:45 am and I need my patient to be approved and I need to be sitting down to start the cleaning. If I can make it to that point, I will be ok....but it's going to be a long week! I just need to make it until Friday morning...
I am going to wear my UNC scrubs though because a)they are my lucky scrubs and b)they are playing later that day so I want to support them.
