My class is taking boards mid November, day before our graduation, but me and my other classmates rescheduled to give ourselves a month dedicated to only studying for boards. We thought to finish school first then study hard for the boards. We’ve always thought if it was a good decision or not. Im glad I cam across your video. Saving it to share to my other classmates. Thank you!
hey! I personally feel that it was best for me to wait, I really wanted to focus on just studying. Not class or anything else, I hope you all pass the first time around!! Practice writing down on your scratch sheet of paper too, it helped me!
It's that time for me to see what program I want to use to study for the boards. Do you know if the book can be read on the iPad? I really want the material that's on the book but I dont really like to read off physical textbooks. Is there like a pdf version you can download or something like that?
There is an online version, I studied on the iPad if I was at the gym. And also in my iPhone I used the website and set it as my favorites. I’m sure you’ll be able to do the same, not sure they’ve updated anything since then
Congrats! I’m actually going to fortis right now :) I graduate in September of ‘24 god willing! I wanted to ask you how you got patients for clinic? It seems impossible to find 45 people!
Thank you and you will make it future RDH!! Trust me I understand, so let me break it down for you. So you need 45 patients, however your patients can come back either every 3 months or 6 months depending on their level. So say every patient comes back 3 times. That’s 45/3=15. So MOST times your patients are willing to come back and count as a new patient again. So if they are say a level 7, that means theyre on a 3month care plan, which makes your patient count even better Keep in mind you need levels 1-8 but when you get the easy ones out the way like kids and adolescents it makes it easier I hope that made sense!
Also I had a lot of family and friends come in, which helped a lot. I posted on fb, Instagram and posted flyers too. Don’t be afraid to ask because you never know who’s willing. Even the staff at the school comes to get their teeth cleaned
Congratulations to you!! And I’m so glad! My version did have quite a bit. For the ones I was confused about I made sure I flagged them and or went back to them
Hey!! Oh I hope you pass on the FIRST try!! I don’t have my book anymore but you can go to the Facebook pages. Dental hygiene students and join the group. That page is where many pre graduates buy post graduates books and used supplies
Hi love . Congratulations. I also planning to move to Georgia . Just a question. How’s the national board for Georgia ? Do you need to bring your own patient?Because I know Florida it’s accepting the use of a manikin.
Thank you!! And congratulations to you as well!! So the National board is the same, it’s the written portion. The clinical or CRDSTS was pretty easy, it was cool because my director prepared us and made sure we knew what to expect Yes you have to have your own patient, PLEASE do yourself a favor and have a backup patient
So both Georgia and Alabama accept CRDTS which is a specific license that they take. Alabama also accepts CITA I took CRDTS so I can work in both Alabama and Georgia, so I will apply for both licenses. You have to apply for licensing separately, I hope that makes sense! 💕
@@JessiecaB thank you I was in nursing school I failed medsurg I honestly don’t want to be a nurse no more ..it’s a fortis college in Georgia .. was it hard to get in ?
I dropped out of nursing school so I definitely empathize!! Yes there is a fortis college in Smyrna, there is even a black woman dentist there!! No I had no issues getting in thankfully. I would keep in mind that there are schools with waiting lists so I say keep your options open with schools
When any person graduate from associate degree, he can complete his bachelor's degree by studying two years as well, after graduation in a period such as three years, or should he complete his bachelor's degree immediately after graduation from associate degree?
It’s completely up to you if you want to get your bachelors right after your associates. For an RDH you don’t have to have your bachelors but in order to be a teacher (or be a sales rep) of Dental hygiene you must have one. It’s always great to pursue higher learning!
