Day 1. or Day zero/ 0 of Pharmacy School
Although it was my first day in Colorado, and on Campus, it was orientation day today here in UC Denver.
The "trek" to school: a 5 minute walk (Where art thou bike?)
ID pictures/ badges
student office
Experiential Office
campus tour
New people everywhere from all walks of life At first seemed like more women than men, but then by the end of the afternoon definitely balanced out
library for sidework: Nutrition's effect on Dental Caries abstract
barbeque
CPR training: 1/2 awake.... lack of sleep + relaxing environment+ bbq lunch burger
First bus ride since ages and ages ago (more like 2007: Hawaii style?) Yay for RTD cards and student fares. Boo for not knowing how to wait patiently at a bus stop with no phone or electronics and avoiding awkward stares from fellow bus patrons
Verizon wireless- because the droid2 was an epic fail on the first day of Colorady: NO PHONE: no text, no calls out, since the touch screen failed even after a hard reset :( :(
Ms. Gina called while I was at Verizon: Made me more sad... Miss back home,Jhonny and the Excelsius crew::Sigh::
If only flying home spontaneously were under 300, 498 doesn't sound like the Price is Right.
Orange Julius: Pina Colada: after a frustrating phone and trek experience
Quick Bus ride home: saw BJ's Brewery while waiting for the bus and thought "Damn, a happy hour would be nice right about now" .......hefeweizen where are you!??!?!?! Only because I had to move because the sprinklers turned on HAHAHAHAHah out of a movie right??
Quick busride back:
Taco stop and spanish speaking skills: yay Rigoberto's training! but epic fail to non-80 centavo adobada tacos and no horchata alli :(
Being love and home sick on a Friday night with no car to explore city.
Yay to catnaps in the middle of the night and mental energy at the break of dawn.

On the 10 day countdown...
With 10 days left, I may have even considered using a POD moving solution. It just seems more easy than purchasing and transporting everything there. Or maybe, psychologically, it may be a way for me to recreate "home" in a new state or in a foreign environment. Hopefully in that way, I can gain some sanity, peace and ultimately serenity amidst the rigors of graduate life and being away from the boyfriend, family, work and friends. :(
On a positive note, this week before the big move is a chance to help a dental hygienist student work on some projects. It's forced me to become more familiarized with my last year of Pharmacotherapy at UC Irvine. For now, the simple things have been broken down as far as drug-drug interactions and contraindications. Even simple things as physical and psychological evaluations have become a primary area of study for other health professionals.
Here's what we have so far....
• Medical History Questionaire @ initial office visit
o Updated regularly
o Short versus long form
o Long form: in-depth questions to adequately assess patients, especially those with significant medical disorders
o Question 1: will determine immediacy of attention
o Question 3: psychological outlook toward dentistry
o Question 6: prevent drug-drug interactions
• Multiple local anesthetics
• Anesthetics with opiods
• VasConstrictor and beta-adrenoreceptor antagonist, general anesthetic and TCA’s
o Question 7: Allergic reactions
o Question 8: excessive bleeding risks
• Selection of supraperiosteal, periodontal ligament or intraosseous or other techniques VERSUS
• AVOID these: (page 141)
o Question 9:
• Cardiovascular events or those with cardiovascular health are at put those at risk for overdose to local anesthetic because of an associated decrease liver metabolism which leads to longer half-lives of anesthetics
• Recent heart attacks: those within <6 months, reinfarction more likely
• Angina pectoris:angina episode may be induced by anxiety or inability to manage pain control.
• High blood pressure: patients regularly monitored and encouraged to follow recommended medications prescribed by doctors.
