There isn't a program you need to go through in order to complete your prerequisites. You just need to take the required courses which you should be able to find at a community college. Now you should be able to find these courses on your program website ❤ Hope this helps!

Congrats on finishing DH school. I been through 4 semesters and needed 1 more semesters to go. I did not finish and that was in 2017. I need to try and return at another college; however, ALL of my pre-req.' s are soooo old. I watched ALL of your videos and flash backs occurred. But, we had a quiz and patient clinic each day for all of the semesters. I have been assisting for far too long and it sucks BIG time. Again, congrats congrats congrats. Are hygienist able to administer anesthesia in TX? And yes, working in an ALL melanated practice is phenomenal.
@RDHMichael Ай бұрын
Thank you so much😊 A quiz and patient everyday!? Im sure yall waited at least a semester to start seeing real patient right? Honestly that program sounds hard and I probably wouldn't have finished either lmao. BUT its never too late to start over. You already know what it takes to get in! We have gotten the legal ball rolling on infiltration here in Tx so we will be able to do local very soon. We are just waiting for the suits and the state to create a general curriculum about the rules and regulations of it.
@melaninalways2268 Ай бұрын
@@RDHMichael Yes, a quiz and patient everyday. The first semester we began seeing patients the second week of school, and competencies began about 2 weeks afterwards. Yes, it was beyond brutal and it never got easier. However, I soooo enjoyed meeting the many many many injection and laser requirements. We began with 20 but only 16 survived....go them 😊. It took me almost 5 years to complete my pre-req.'s. I concur, it definitely is never too late to try again. However, the state that I currently reside, is asking for me to retake 8 of my pre-req.'s.(which are over 10 years old). Again, congrats and enjoy enjoy enjoy.

Congratulations on graduating! Honestly I always get a little nervous going into a new office. But now I make sure when I come in and they give me a run down of the office and system, I write down the most important stuff on a sticky note I can refer to in order to save myself time from asking questions. If it's not on my sheet I don't mind asking anymore because its either I ask or I look incompetent looking around or trying to figure it out myself. The software gets easier for sure. Look up some youtube videos on the software as well that can really help! Also you're not going to remember everything so they expect you to ask some questions😃

Good luck in your last two semesters and with board exams☺️ I suggest going in with some confidence and asking as many questions as you can in the beginning of the shift and write things down on a little cheat sheet to refer back to. Check out some videos on how to use the different software and read the reviews if there are any on the office. This will tell you if it’s a good environment for a new graduate. Take into consideration that you are new to the profession and not everything will work out perfectly and give yourself grace❤️

@RDHMichael 2 ай бұрын
So this depends on the office, some pay you the same day with Zelle (or something similar)/Checks and some pay you directly through the app you temp with so that usually takes 3-5 days to get direct deposited☺️ and some use a W2 so they add you to their pay roll and pay you out accordingly(typically takes longer) but they take taxes out for you☺️
