Master Comp & Midterm
I had a successful day. I completed my first master competency this morning. I can now perform chest x-rays on my own without supervision. Everything was perfect on my PA and Lateral views on this exam, so my first competency is complete! I need three more master competencies this semester. Hopefully I will be able to knock those down soon. Any additional comps that I collect this semester (above the 4 I need) will roll over to next semester’s requirements, so hopefully I can get ahead of the game just a little.
We had our midterm conference today to let us know where we stand. I’m ahead of the game in most areas and at par in others. I’m not behind on anything. I got a 95.5% rating from my clinical preceptor on my evaluation. I’m happy with that and I’m looking at some areas where I can improve during the second half of this semester. I’m moving to a new clinical site starting next Thursday, so I’ll be meeting some new people and working on different equipment. Hopefully this will be a smooth integration into a new environment.
