I failed my first half of my instrumentation skills but somehow was able to successfully pass everything that was remaining by staying after school to practice and paying instructors for one on one sessions. Now I'm done with Hygiene, just gotta keep your head up and not give up
Thank you for your comment! I failed instrumentation and it literally felt like the end of the world. I did remediation and all is well know but goodness gracious at the ste stress!
go talk to a cute realtor. tell them how much you'll potentially make after graduation and what your debts are. watch them salivate at the mouth, and then you need to ask them about 4-plex and apartment building ownership. become a multi-unit landlord and start saving up for that retirement NOW.
Currenly in DH school, appreciate this video. Makes me feel like I'm not alone and this video is so comforting. Will definitely take in some of these tips!
Wow yes 100% about being in the present moment and making time for yourself. I'm almost done with my second semester of school, I commute far for school everyday and I work most weekends. I am completely exhausted but I know I am not going to have access to this wealth of knowledge once I graduate. I'm glad I watched this, because it reminded me I have to ask my professors about grainy calculus I keep missing/not fulling removing and reminded me that they are there to help us on our educational journey and a resource I need to utilize more often. I really need to try to enjoy this process more and live in the now, even if the now can be stressful, because I'm never going to have an experience like this again. Thank you!!!
Hoping to get in DH school in a year or two! I’m most nervous about my interview for the program, my qualifications, and some community service stuff, but I still have time to shape up! Thank you for posting so regularly, you are my main source of motivation for all of this :)
Took my written boards last Monday, taking my clinical boards tomorrow. My life saver that I wish I would have used sooner than just this past month was taking melatonin! My brain wouldn't turn off at night and I couldn't fall asleep. Melatonin save me!!! I love all of your tips, but yes easier said then done lol
I got into the program I've dreamed of attending. I've been watching your videos for such a long time and I always read those comments that thanked you for helping them getting into a DH program and pursuing their dreams. Now, I'm here to say thank you for everything and I'm so so happy to be one of those comments!
Thank you 😂 I have one year left till RDH BSDH. The hardest part to me is finding our own patients. We have to have someone in the chair Tuesday mornings, afternoons, and Thursday morning. self care is so important!!! Work extra hard on weekdays and relax on the weekends
I just finished my interview to get into dental hygiene school! I hope to be accepted and get in the program this fall. Waiting for the results. Thank you for ur videos, they inspired me to apply.
Oh I wish I found this channel before starting my program lol! I’m in the second semester and I have the same problem, I get myself so worked up for competencies and get super shaky even though I know what I’m doing! I’m getting better about it though Anyway, I appreciate this channel massively!💜
I love that the commercial I got was an ad reviewing pharmacology for national boards... I came to watch this as a break from cramming for my pharm final today. This was a great reminder to chill 🤣
I’m currently doing my second semester of DH school (pre-clinic) and I cannot tell you how low the morale is between me and my classmates learning instrumentation. The teachers do their best to keep our spirits up, but it still gets to us. I’m already hearing some of my classmates saying that they want to drop out, which is crazy considering everything we went through just to get into the program.
What she mentioned in this video is so me😅😂 I get so nervous like I get worried sick if I have a test although I study everything I need, and I'm still in high school, like what's going to happen to me when I get to college. LoL
Hello! I'm currently waiting to see if I got into this dental assisting program. I know you're a hygienist but I wanted your opinion! I don't want to go straight into dental hygiene because I'm not sure it'll be for me so I thought I should get my certificate in dental assisting to see how that goes. Hopefully what I'm explaining is making since. And if I planned to go back for hygiene maybe it'll stand out more? Btw love your channel!
So I'm in the second semester of my pre requisites and I'm a full time dental assistant. I'm about to open up a new office and I'm def not doing straight I have like Bs and Cs. I don't think I'm ever going to get into the program.
You just share positiveness somehow!! your words is "The Lazy Person's Guide to Success" book in brief 👏 Hope you share head,head rest and chair adjustment for each qudrant.. even a book to read.. Thanks🌸
About to jump into semester 3 of hygiene school..we only have 1 day off between 2nd and 3rd semester 😩 it’s exhausting. Can’t wait for my whole month off between 3rd and 4th semester
@@naur8331 I’m so sorry to hear that. The stress of school is only temporary, that’s what I keep telling myself to motivate me , plus time goes by so fast!
@@florianschmidt5828 hours in total for some clinic days is 6 hours, not including the time you have to come early and stay late to clean our ops . For lecture classes, it’s between 2-6 hours, depending if we have 1 or 2 lecture classes in a day.
Your hair is so pretty ya are like an immortal goddess sent from heaven to save us people ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I still have nightmares about hygiene school. I have this reoccurring dream that our license needs a bachelors degree and you have to go back for another semester. It’s awful and constant. My daughter is waiting to hear back to see if she got in the same hygiene school I went to! I’m freaking out for her! Nothing will let me forget those years at CCP community college of Philadelphia. Wish my daughter luck. I used to bring her in for clinic when she was a little girl!
@@GlucoseGarbage oh my I didn’t see your comment until now! She is now going to Montgomery County College instead. She should start the program this fall.
@@williewill3314 I graduated in 2005 and honestly, it was rough. Not the studies so much but the teachers were just unreasonable for the most part. Seemed as if they hated their jobs and wanted to give us a hard time. The program itself is great! I felt very prepared to go into the real world after that! I heard that it’s changed though, lots of new teachers so it’s prob a lot better now with regards to that.
hey and sorry for my bad english i hope you understand my question. its about water flosser, my dentist sed to me that she would not recomend it because bakterias could get in my pockets. what do you think about this?
@@JoelSpatz_ Also, ich bin in angehende Dentalhygienikerin in Deutschland. An sich ist der Flosser als Alternative zu verwenden, das bedeutet, falls du motorische Einschränkungen haben solltest etc. Ich persönlich empfehle meinen Patienten gerne die Zahnseide, da man mit Demonstration und etwas Übung deutlich mehr "Kontrolle" hat und das Zahnfleisch nicht so schnell verletzt bei richtiger Anwendung. Aber da scheiden sich die Geister. Eine (wenige) sind sehr begeistert davon. Derzeit testet es ein Patient. Bin auf die Ergebnisse gespannt... In drei Monaten sehe ich dass Ergebnis.
@@miaseibel3793 vielen Dank für die Info, dass heisst ausprobieren sollte kein Problem sein oder? Wenn ich dann in ein par Monaten wieder zum Zahnarzt gehe, kann sie ja sagen ob mein Zahnfleisch und zähne gut aussehen.
@@JoelSpatz_ natürlich kann man es ausprobieren. Allerdings ist das von Philips momentan für um die 100€ zu erwerben. Von einer chinesischen Variante würde ich abraten.
i have a question! are you able to take your state board exams for another state that you want to practice in, rather than the state that you went to for school? or do you have to take the exams for the state you went to school and then later do the necessary requirements to practice in another state.
I just turned in my application I am nervous it’s been 8 years since ive been in school so I do have a lot of self doubt plus I just had a baby and I currently have a 7 year old and I work at the hospital 3rd shift I’m so worried about how I’m going to do this.
What age do you think is too old for dental hygiene? I am watching youtube videos and all of you guys become hygienist at 23-25 feeling that make me so ooollllddd. I am about to be 28. Starting preqre I will be probably 30 and graduating school at like 32. When is too late? 😞😒
Is never too late, the majority of DH students are in their late 20’s and 30’s (I’m 32). Not that younger people don’t want to become hygienists, but in my experience most of them want to become Dentist because they feel they have more time. Btw is never too late to become a Dentist either, my old boss got his DMD degree at 50.
Greetings from Russia. I really like your videos. I am a dentist therapist. I work as a dentist in Russia. My mom lives in the USA. State of arkansas. I have a question. If i move to the USA, can i get a job as a dental hygienist using my dentist diploma?
hi friend! thank you for watching! often times - the USA does not accept dental degrees from other countries - so generally would need to retake DH classes and then take board exams to get licensed here. some states do not require degrees to work as a dental assistant, however, so you could always do that while working towards your American DH degree! hope this helps!
hi friend! between 3-6 years depending on the type of degree they choose. here is my video more about that - hope this helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hw2snr1bNhE.html
(Everyone is welcome) I'm hosting a virtual graduation party on May 6th @7:30pm CT for all new dental grads! RSVP to win prizes!!! RSVP HERE: teethtalkgirl.com/teeth-talk-girl-grad-party
You prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest movies on Instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend for the last weeks xD
