Am I going to get my requirements?

Okay, So today was kinda not so good. My patient came in late. While waiting I was able to evaluate my x-rays from last week. She told me she'd be in at 8:30 and didn't get in until 9 because she thought we were still in building 3. That was a long time ago. None the less, she was really nice and liked to talk a lot, which kinda slowed things down even more. She had a plethura of medications and I think she was taking even more than she put down. Anyhow, by the time we got that all done it was 10:00 and I only had 45 min to get anything done. So, I did 4 BWX and called it a day. I don't even know what class she is. I didn't do extra or intra, nothing. I'm really worried that I won't be able to get my quads done for my requirements if I'm having to bring them back every time. She is rescheduled for March 6, so luckily I'll have the HHX out of the way and hopefully I can finish! At least I learned a valuable lesson that I will implement into my future appointments.

*If I don't know the patient, Call and do their HHX over the phone!

So that's my goal. No matter what; if I know the patient or not, I WILL get the HHX done before they come into the clinic.
Also, today I copied a sequence for appintments from Loni, I think it will be really helpful. I just feel extremly unefficient (is that a word?) in my appointments. When I did my friend last wednesday I felt a lot better and things went very smooth. But today, not so much. I want to be organized and transition smoothly and quickly onto the next step of the tx. Oh, that will be the day!
