Pearcrazy, so did you have a BS before going through the RDH program? I am thinking about going back to school for that when we decide to have kids.Date: 3/1/2006 10:33:55 AM

I am a RDH-BS. (dental hygienist with a bachelor's which means I could teach if I wanted to) I work part time around my kids' school schedule for a general dentist in private practice. I've been in this profession for 20 years in June.
No, I got a BS degree when I graduated from the University of North Carolina. My diploma say BS in dental hygiene. I spent 4 years there and moved into the hygiene program at the dental school after my sophomore year. I don't know where you live but most states only require an associate degree to get your license. Here in NC there are several community colleges that offer a dental hygiene program. Depending on what kind of college courses you've had in the past you could finish in 2 years with some geneneral college or 3 years with no prerequesites. I could teach the curriculum at a CC with my bachelor's degree. That's what I meant by I could teach. I don't because I make more money in clinical practice.Date: 3/1/2006 12:14:51 PM

Right now, my job title is Internet Bum (aka I am unemployed and online all the time). That won't be too long because I am going in for a medical exam for a new job and when I pass, I will being work as a lab technician.
So you have a BS in RDH. Yeah CA only required a AA for the license. I have a BS in Chemistry, so I was only thinking of getting an AA in RDH if I do get into it.Date: 3/1/2006 12:50:06 PM

I''ve been thinking of becoming a "street pharmacist". Supposedly there''s lots of money in that, as well as bling-bling!Date: 3/1/2006 12:57:35 PM

You should be able to do it in 2 years or less. I think with a BS in chemistry I might consider pharmacy. They make great money and are in high demand.
And I also go out and get my hair and nails done, haha.Date: 3/1/2006 1:47:22 PM
