[@giselelizbth]

of course!! you’ve got this mama, you’re gonna kill it

[@nohaescobar471]

Perfect timing!🥹 I start school on Wednesday this next week! I’m so excited! But I loved that you mentioned your “why.” I’m Latina too and I resonated so much with that statement…literally made me tear up😭🥹

[@giselelizbth]

First, congrats thats awesome you are gonna do great!!!! Second, thank you thats so sweet

[@frannycapponi6678]

Wondering how your first semester went?!

[@riyahanderson]

[@POSSIBLYHIGH]

I’m a Latina looking to get in the field 😭 THANK YOU GIRLY YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE IT IS POSSIBLE! I want my family to see we can and I am always the change in my family! Cuídate mucho mija 🫶🏻

[@al3xismia]

this was a really good video. thank you!!

[@kaylarenteria-lp4jp]

Thank you SO much for saying the bit about moms being in your class!! I want to go to dental hygiene school and I have been so nervous and wondering if it was even possible to do it as a mom. I can't find any DH school as a mom content so even this little bit you mentioned makes me feel so much better!

[@giselelizbth]

Omg of course !!!!!!

[@Simple0302]

Same here. It makes me nervous being a mom and juggling life but pull on those strengths… think about how strong you are by being a mom! You can time manage, you can multitask, you have life experience, you’re used to having drool, spit and food on you and getting nibbled on. lol you got this!

[@noirroiri]

i wasnt sure either to be a nurse or hygienist (coming from a 1st gen family) and i felt so much pressure and this was the first video that actually explained it well for me ! THANKSSSS 🌷

[@giselelizbth]

Of course 💖💖

[@kamo5212]

i love how you said it should be a masters, i couldn't agree more!!

[@giselelizbth]

It really should !!!! We take 4 licensing exams !?!

[@breyerobsessionist16]

I’m seeing many people who did a bachelors go back and do things like RDH, and I wanted to ask, do you feel like your bachelors was a good thing to have going into DH school? I’m working in research right now with my bachelors and I’ve been there for almost a year and I’m feeling burnt out and wanting a career change where I’ll be paid more. Sincerely, TX biology Bachelor holder

[@tiffanipan6302]

Thank you for your honesty and insight 😊

[@Chelsea.Cristina]

What did you do for work and finances while being in school? Not working is kinda impossible

[@laurelwebb5099]

Thank you so much for this video!! I’m still in high school but it’s my hope to become a hygienist :)

[@giselelizbth]

of course, you’ve got this !!

[@amidralza2326]

I will start my class February in Canada. Until then what should i study by myself? Please help me

[@Rua-dp5zg]

Hi sis 🌸I have question about language. Do I need a strong language? My second language is English and my original language is Arabic. Now I have one class dental 108 I’m doing good so far

[@jacquelinegutierrez4466]

You will probably have to study longer. That’s what my previous boss (a dentist) said. He had to study longer than his classmates due to translating and defining many concepts to himself. But you can do it 😀. Also, if you need to take the TEAs exam for entry into a program, make sure you are studying their English and Reading sections a lot.

[@dimitrarothweiler7999]

do you think dental assistant school is similar at all to the coursework/ course load as hygiene school? I’m going for assistant school first and then will be bridging to hygiene school so just curious :)

[@jerikao4659]

Thank you!!!

[@MiaHernandez-jx6bx]

Can you do a vid on interview questions!

[@giselelizbth]

hey there !! I just did check it out on my channel!!!

[@rabiaqamar9527]

I am stuck to choose between pharmacy school and DH school...whats the pay rate for fresh DH grads in your state?

[@kelliegracecarson]

ik im late to the party but were you an RDA before hygiene? hygiene is my dream and i am currently a DA- however im already experiencing burnout from the dental world 😅

[@giselelizbth]

I was and I know what you mean I love what I do jown

[@korinee.4294]

Thanks so much for this video!!!

[@giselelizbth]

Of course !!

[@shake_shells11]

I already have a bachelor’s degree in engineering, but now I want to change my career and going back to get an associate degree in dental hygiene. I feel like this is my master’s 😅

[@yingt6361]

I heard you said you have biology degree, did you get it from different college? Because I am in a college that doesn’t have the dental hygiene program. And to apply I need to take prerequisites courses. So I want to ask if I should choose biology as a major first and take the prerequisite courses first then apply? I actually don’t want to spend 4 years major in biology😢, It’s hard and I want to get in the program fast since it will be another four years.

[@giselelizbth]

I do have a biology degree because I thought I wanted to go into research, so that’s why I have the degree - but I would talk to your advisors and the advisors at the hygiene programs you’re trying to apply to

[@jacquelinegutierrez4466]

I was a biology major before. I recommend what she says, talk to advisors of the school you want to go to and ask about their pre-reqs. I feel like I waisted years in college by taking classes for a major I didn’t complete, when I switched to hygiene. So don’t waste your time like me 😢

[@diegoarturofernandez-moren7267]

Is there homework or is mostly in class paperwork?

[@giselelizbth]

I would say it’s mostly homework and studying

[@AprilMayJung]

At first glance the thumbnail looked like it read 'Denial Hygiene School'. I thought some people really need help!

[@giselelizbth]

that would be funny!!
