I'll pray for you. I am dumb though - what is a board patient? What do they need to do?

I'm so happy for you that you're eating pumpkin chocolate chip bread. :) It's the greatest! And good luck finding those board patients. We have a lot of dental students in our ward, and I know that it's stressful! I'd love to help, but we're a little too far away! :)

annie, in answer to your question: the north east regional board of examiners specifies the requirements for the clinical exam. basically, they have to have 14 large pieces of hardened tartar attached to the teeth, below the gums. a certain number of the pieces have to be on certain teeth, they can't have any fillings or decay between the teeth, you can't use a tooth with a crown, etc, etc, etc. no wonder its so hard to find someone who works! AND they've got to be a legal citizen so they can fly to NY with me. which has actually proved to be the hardest requirement. most people who don't brush their teeth and haven't ever had their teeth cleaned aren't american and aren't legal.

Oh, Ang, I'll pray too. I know honestly my hair would be falling out by now. It really does that when I get super stressed like I'm sure you're feeling. :(
This countdown can't go fast enough I bet. Good luck!
