National board scores were delayed due to analysis of the results and today they were posted. It was quite the relief to see they were all within passing limits. The anticipation was killing me because the day they were supposed to be ready to view was last Friday and that day was on my calendar as "special".
Now that the hurdle has been jumped, I can now focus on transitioning into the meat of the clinical sciences. Our expectations are climbing and the midterms for this quarter are getting closer. Dr. LeFebrve posted an email telling us that the reading demand will be increased significantly and the expectation/learning curve will steepen for the last 5 weeks of the quarter. He demands excellence and we must comply or else!
It is exciting to get to this point in the program. Next quarter is supposed to be the toughest of them due to being buried in paper work. I sort of feel like this quarter has been the hardest up to this point mainly because the expectations have risen and we are tested weekly in clin-phase. The internship has also been demanding, in that, we are learning to actually adjust each other for therapeutic gain. This takes confidence not only in your adjusting skills but also your palpation and assessment skills. It is a huge leap next quarter when we begin treating students under a licensed DC.
I feel ready and willing to continue pursuing this program. Time to celebrate the minor victory and buckle down for a quick trip to Denver Colorado to scope out post-school plans then mid-terms begin next week.
All for now.
