| Pre Mock (Review with Connie)
When you come back, there's a 2 week review with Connie
of everything! she'll drill you, give you writing assignments, and be real tough
on you just to make you better. She'll bring up things that you wouldn't think she would
question you on and when you answer, she'll question you on your answer!
You will be forced to use your brain and think. You will be considered
a senior class, and she will expect you to act like one, and think like one. There's
also a BIG test before you go on to "mock", and if youv'e been reviewing, you should come
thru with flying colors.

Mock Surgery
This is what it's all about! By this time, your class
will have been divided into 2 groups (if it's a big class) so hopefully everyone
in the class get's along with each other because TEAMWORK will play a big part of
mock surgery. You might have someone on you team you don't really care for, but you still
have to work together. This is where everything comes together. You will refine your
aseptic technique, back table set up, gowning and gloving, passing, counting, everything!
You will be expected to research your case, know the complications, the surgeon's role, circulator role, and
ansthesiologist role. All of this is to prepare us for our externship rotations.
Even at this stage, there will be some that slipped thru the cracks and managed to stay
in the program, BUT you will be able to see those that will be good techs and those
that probally won't make it in a hospital. And those that just try to get by....
will not be allowed to go to externship if the instructor feels that they are not ready.
Stay focused and keep good attendance, because if you dont have good attendance,
it can be difficult for the school to place you at choice hospitals. My class
was told "You get out of mock what you put into mock" and it's true.
