I haven’t even gotten into my program and I’m already worried about finding my boards patient 😅

[@talayahwhite645]

[@PrincePalmUwU]

*brings a board to school* ''will this do? LMAO sorry!! sometimes you just have to make a lil joke. you will do fine, you go this!! x)

[@gurlwkinkscurls8146]

Girl finding a boards patient is real. I had a patient they had high BP. She couldn't get a medical clearance so I lost her two days before my test. Found another patient within 30 mins after that. And then I failed my test by a half of a point!!!! I was devastated and thought it was the end of the world. I just retook it yesterday and I passed!! I graduated next Friday and it makes it so much more worth it!! I love this career

[@godwin0605]

"When i tell you...I was clening dem teeth until my fingas was NUMB!" 😂😂😂😂 poor board patient

[@beatrizperez2875]

"The pain of the process is only temporary, but the feeling of achievement lasts forever!" Love and always enjoy watching your videos!!!😌💗

[@terlicia_AniyahMarie]

Fellow RDH from Michigan 😉 love your page!! One of my best friends was my board patient. Yes everyone she's so right!!!! Find a patient that has not had a prophy in over 3yrs!!!! Check for that "bump in the night" (calc), you want a Moderate-heavy patient. Definitely know there med history!!! Make sure there's no fractured teeth in that quad you plan to use!!! My program did a Mock clinical of the board's and it was so helpful! If the testing site has an orientation..GO!!! Some did not take advantage of it and was so lost the day of boards. If you have to pick up your patient please do lol dont depend on them to be on time!!! Girl...you laid it out in this video 😉❤

[@amandabardo5038]

Just binge watched a ton of your DH videos. These are SO helpful. Thank you!

[@karaurbaniak5997]

I take my boards in a year and I already have anxiety 😭😂 but I loved this video! Thank you!❤️

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

kara urbaniak lolll don’t be ! You will do fine

[@ashleyfrancis738]

Just graduated! I took ADEX by CDCA also. I found my board patient on Facebook through a buy/sell/trade group, paid them $100. Scariest thing ever! Some of my classmates found their board patient the day before.

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

Congrats on graduating! One of the best feels in the world and omg yes the boards process is so stressful , when do you take your boards?

[@ashleyfrancis738]

Tajah Ferjuste I took all my boards already and been offered 3 jobs. I’m waiting on my license.

Just took the CRDTS clinical exam yesterday and passed with a 100% and thankfully my boards patient was a family friend! Next is Nationals!

[@ladyyyKD]

What kind of calc did he have? Was it big obvious calc or was it the tiny one but you can feel it? Please help, I'm screening for a credts patient.

[@nayeliromero5507]

Your videos have encouraged me sooo much. I start Hygiene school in about a month! Thanks for all the tips and advice!!!

[@zamnitsnina9804]

Ohhh so youre not being constantly watched over your shoulders whiling youre cleaning the teeth? Youre alone with the patient cleaning until youre done? This whole time I thought someone stands next to you and watches the process.

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

zamnitsnina nooo you’re on your own in your cubicle when you’re ready they come grab your patient! I really liked that 💕

[@Tezzee]

Wow okay that’s good to know!

[@ShanajayeandEric]

GURL I don't know how this before was suggested to me but I'm subscribing because BEING A DENTIST WAS MY DREAM! It. Ever happened...LIFE, but I'm going to live it through your videos! You're too cute...reminding me of my daughter (she's 18). :)

[@trkasen]

[@grown2be]

ItsMeEssy Amaraí hey, can I ask how is it going? Is it extremely hard? I am thinking about but afraid to fail in the process. Thanks

[@lcont6972]

I would like a list of requirements the patient needs to follow by so I can find my perfect patient I am not even in dental school and berly about to take my pre requisites this fall and I’m already worried I won’t find a patient

[@emilym.9991]

Always thumbing up before the video even starts!!!

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

Emily M. Thank you 😊 💕

[@prettyjae6878]

Is it multiple choices?

[@debbiegreen7051]

All this makes lots of sense. Thanks and Congrats! Cute tat!

[@lapiru3445]

I am taking my clinical exam in 5 hours and I can't sleep. 😣😣😣

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

How did you do ????

[@lapiru3445]

Tajah Ferjuste same thing you said, once I started cleaning I felt comfortable, but there was an area I couldn't clean as well as I wanted, so let's wait and see. How long you had to wait for the results?

[@eclipse98100]

Sooo helpful girl !! I love your videos

[@demimariecolobro5179]

Love love love your channel!!!!! I am super interested in going to dental hygiene school! I am a military spouse, by the time i graduate we will probably be moving to another base , what board exam do you think i should take that applies to majority of states? My other question is could i use my spouse for my board patient???

[@eddikap8936]

Btw I really enjoyed your video. I’m in Florida and will graduate in August so I’m like on the edge of my seat as you’re telling the story 💀😂😬

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

Eddika P yay good for you when do you take your boards?

[@eddikap8936]

Tajah Ferjuste I take it in September !

[@rolan2dr]

Thank you for making this video.

[@kami_exploers]

So your board patient can’t be anyone in your family?

[@tRUTH_inYAH]

I will be taking the addex this may. Thank you so much for your video, it was really helpful. I was having a hard time finding people who took this one as mostly everyone talks about all the other ones. Are you required to bring your own anesthetic tools or does it depend on the testing facility?

[@purplecarrot8982]

This was great! Thank you

[@DailyBread2007]

Awesome video like always! I take mine a week from today! 😬

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

You got this! xoxo

[@janjaf844]

I'm waiting to see if I've been accepted into July program... they only accept 42 students a year. Need a whole bunch of prerequisites like A&P 1 and 2 and 2 bio and microbiology. Everywhere else I'm reading people didn't need all these but this associates program does. But I am applying to surgery tech as well just in case I don't get in for whatever reason.

[@monroejumpers4231]

Are the requirements for your patient only for build up or do they have to be on medications and things like that?

[@rosanna8390]

Do you need to see to much calculus in RX?

[@angelanicole9069]

is it possible to take the dental hygiene boards without going through hygiene school? I am a Certified Dental Assistant with 10 years experience and i CANNOT get into hygiene school. I know I need school to prepare for boards but i just want to know if its possible. please help! Thanks for your advice

[@80nobb]

I’m a dental assistant aswel. Knowing how to take XRays and knowing the instruments will definetly leverage in hygiene school but there are classes you need before applying you can do i!! and in the end it will be soo worth it

[@ruthsamanthaa]

Angela Nicole Lol no? That’s like having 10 years experience in nursing and thinking you can be a surgeon

[@vivianamelendez9005]

What advice will you give to pay for schooling ?

[@zhanelasprec524]

Can’t your board patient be a relative?

[@sarahazize9165]

Did anyone in your class get kicked out of the program because of grades? If so how many/ is it common

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

yes, about 3 , not common for grades but more for clinical :)

[@melissag0448]

My class has. We started with 24 now we’re down to 18

[@rebeccaj8203]

Does anyone have tips for getting regular patients? We have to recruit all of our patients and most of my family won't come.

[@teheiressross1807]

Rebecca Nelson try fb groups I’ve found a lot of patients that way

[@rosanna8390]

Do you necedad to se tomó much cálculos in RX?

[@strongaddictions1645]

I'm a boards patient for two hygienists Both the same weekend. Is $100.00 Each plus lodging and dinner and transportation Too much too ask for? ? ?

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

No it is reasonable! that's about what i did for my patient. You rock for helping them out lol

[@strongaddictions1645]

Tajah Ferjuste great thanks for the come back my dear. I live in North of San Francisco bout one hour. I sold my mouth for $125.00 each plus lodging Dinner and transportation. Everything is expensive. I feel its reasonable. Plus I get to hang with not one But two hotties for the weekend and get paid. I'll take That all day...😈 😁

[@ScreamTatumRiley]

can you do kids for your boards?

[@KimmiePie1]

So you have to get someone that has bad dental hygiene?

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

a patient who has build up and a good amount of calculus :)

[@CeoDeeDee]

I’m a registered Dental Assistant in California and I want to be a hygienist do you think it possible for a single mom to get through it ?

[@Babydoll_bre]

yes.!! im a pre dental hygiene student now and a single mother ill be starting my page next month its very possible

[@hannahe5769]

i’m in the program now as a single mom and i’m not the only one either. you can do it

[@teheiressross1807]

For sure single mom of four here and I’m a senior now! It’s a lot of work but definitely possible

[@michelmonka216]

Hi hope all well but,What do you mean by a written test? Like an essay?

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

Michel Monka it’s like a mini national board , 100 written question

[@michelmonka216]

Tajah Ferjuste thank you

[@monroejumpers4231]

Can you bring a relative for your boards?

[@eddikap8936]

So they gave you two whole hours to clean one quadrant ?

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

Eddika P no it’s all included in walking the orient back and taking BP , waiting for approval , by the time you start it will be less

[@eddikap8936]

But it was only one quadrant right ??

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

Eddika P one quad plus 2 teeth from another quad

[@gurlwkinkscurls8146]

I took Cdca and I had two hours to clean. Taking BP and stuff was not included in my two hours

[@strongaddictions1645]

My two state boards candidates made an financial agreement. I showed up and did my part I acted on good faith and a handshake. Was told check would be in thee mail two weeks ago. And I received nothing. Do I have any recourse? ? ? Like filing complaint thru the JC program. With holding liscene until they follow up with me? Thanks stay beautiful.

[@ebonyjones9461]

I am gonna be in my 3rd semester this summer and I still don't feel comfortable with the instruments..what helped you get more comfortable? I am also having trouble even feeling for the calculus and going sub is probably even more challenging...any tips?

[@Nastassjaferjuste]

Hey girl! a lot of practice helped me and i did tutor track and got help from instructors and when we practiced on each other ! I had my challenges with the instruments and practice helped a lot
