Is it really Spring? I have sat at my desk all morning looking out the window hoping the ice on the lake would melt. It sure doesn't look like spring from this view. The house is quiet and I am trying to get a few things done before my son returns from his spring break trip tonight.

I have been working on my OSCE, calibration, etc. I can definitely see why feedback is important when it comes to the development of these. I will look forward to some peer review. I also tried to start a daily student/patient encounter form. All I can say for that is..."Yikes!" I like Mankato's example but would like to simplify a little. I am hoping to see a few more examples before I attempt it again.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. See you on Monday.

My posture/ergonomics assessment is nearly complete; however, I really wish I had pictures for faculty calibration and teaching. So Friday I had this grand plan...I will take my own. I threw on some scrubs and ran down to an office where I temp occassionally (at the end of their day) and had another hygienist take pictures of me. What a mistake!!! First off, I hadn't slept all week. Second, there is a reason that only younger dental hygienists are used as models in the journals and magazines. Third...no one ever likes to look at pictures of themselves. I showed them to my husband. His response: "Oh, my...you look like your mother." What is that supposed to mean? I now have a better appreciation of professional photographers and photo shop.
