It's here! It's here! It's finally here! It's official! I am a real registered dental hygienist! Now I get to flood the earth with my resume and cross my fingers that someone will give this new grad a chance! It is so hard to get your first job, because most employers demand at least 2 years experience. I think they require this because so many new grads are very slow due to being allowed 3 hours for appointments during school and suddenly being thrown into 1 hour appointments. I am so grateful I went to a school that had an efficiency clinic to whip us into shape and get us used to the fast-paced style of established practices!

The Road to RDH: Life in Limbo
I am stuck. Stuck in the stage right between graduation and looking for a job. I check the mail regularly for any sign of my dental hygiene license, even though I know it won't be there! (I just took-and passed- my jurisprudence exam today! It was the final step for licensure and it only took me about 10 minutes to complete!) Until my license comes, which in reality is about a week and a half, I am in limbo!
I must admit, while I really miss seeing patients on the daily, life in limbo is pretty great. I work part time doing samples at Costco, and on my days off I have no commitments, no plans, no anything for that matter! That being said I am over my vacation in limbo and I AM DYING TO START WORKING IN A DENTAL OFFICE.
