Nursing has been around for a very long time. To be successful in any career, you must know the job position, duties and responsibilities. Most (CNA) training programs last about eight weeks. The pay is average, and doesn’t change much, even though some CNA’s have been in the field longer than others. There are many duties that are expected from the CAN and some require good physical ability, as well as, certain characteristics that would make me good for the job.…

Teeth are the first thing that I look at in a person when I meet them so I figured that teeth would be interesting to work with because I mean who wouldn’t want great teeth. With great teeth are people that work in the dental field that help everyone get that perfect smile that they dream for. One group of people that are in the dental field are called dental assistants. As a dental assistant there are many tasks that dental assistants do like prepare patients for teeth treatments, cleanings, and sterilizing instruments.…
Ever since I was about five years old, I thought that I was going to go to school to become a dentist. I even shadow a dentist to see what their daily routine was like. But once I started doing a little more research and after I had the opportunity of shadowing a dentist I then decided that it was not the career for me. In high school I also got the opportunity to job shadow at Jackson Hospital, Baptist South Hospital, and at Health South in Montgomery, Alabama. I got the opportunity to shadow because of a class that I was taking at my high school.…
“Set your goals high, and don’t stop until you get there” (Bo Jackson). Each and every person has a dream or goal growing inside of them like a wild flower. In order for a wild flower to grow, it needs the proper nutrition, as do your goals, you have to nourish and allow you goals to grow, but in the same breath you have to accept failure where it comes in trying to achieve that goal you have, because failure is another way of learning. My goal is to finish college and earn my associates degree and become a dental hygienist, in order to achieve my goal of becoming a dental hygienist, I plan to earn my associates degree with a good GPA, volunteer at a local dental office, and continue my study at dental school. In this response, we will be discussing more about myself, my goals I have, and how I plan to achieve those goals.…
What is the secret to being a successful and effective dental assistant? Being a successful dental assistant is very important because the dentist and the patient counts on the dental assistant to do his or her best to do what they are supposed to do and excel at it. The way the assistant performs is a key factor in the dental office. If a dental assistant doesn’t perform successfully and effective, the patient may not like the assistant and may choose a different dental office or ask for a different dental assistant. Also if the dental assistant doesn’t perform successfully and effective, the procedures that are done during the patients visit can be compromised.…
Dental Assistant Career I like to call the dental assistant job, a job you can still have a life with. Being a dental assistant is the best job for me because, education is short, pay and jobs are greatly increasing, and the work schedule is very flexible. This is a great field of work to get into for those, like myself, who want to help others without so many years of schooling. Recently I had the opportunity to job shadow at my orthodontist office. It was a great chance to learn more about the field and see for myself if its something I actually want to pursue.…
I often try to talk to my mother about my college plans. Most of the time she doesn’t even pay attention to what I am saying except for this one day I was talking to her and she was really listening. My mom tells me that I shouldn’t go to college because I don’t need a college education to live a good life. She says that even if I do go she expects me to be right back at home the next semester. She tells me that I can just go to trade school and be a dental assistant, CNA, or maybe one-day work in an office.…
When I was a kid, I enjoyed going to the dentist and still to this day as a young adult, I still do. I like interacting with all the nice ladies called dental assistants. I already knew that dental assistants help out the dentist by preparing the patient and keeping up with their records but I would like to learn more. I would like to know how they break down and clean the equipment, do they deal with children or adults more.…
High school graduation is the best feeling in the world for students, but it all changes when it comes to choosing what career to follow. When it comes to deciding which career path to follow students are forced to choose one or suffer spending their time doing nothing. One of the biggest choice for these undecided scholars is to go into the medical field, or more specific nursing. With everyone choosing nursing, there are those few students who want an easier program to follow but also want to stay in the medical field; students then choose dental assisting. Dental assistants have always been seen as the nurses in the dental field, but in fact dental assistants come nowhere near nurses; therefore, students who are undecided, it is a wise choice…
I have known from a young age that I wanted to do something exceptional in my life. Something about helping others drew me in, so I knew a career in the medical field would be my best fit. It was not until a traumatic day in my life occurred that made me realize I was bound to be a nurse. I have played volleyball for five year, my senior year was not an exception. Volleyball was the only sport I played and my passion.…
Growing up, since the age of 8, I have always wanted to be a dental hygienist. It wasn’t something I felt passionate about, but I kind of liked teeth and my mother said I should do it, so I went for it. I got straight A’s in the classes for the dental hygiene program and did not get into the program. I decided that it wasn’t meant to be and I should be doing something that I personally chose to do. Being a teacher was something I always thought about, but public speaking was my greatest fear, so I figured if I can’t do public speaking I can’t be a teacher.…
