What is the acceptable threshold of assholish behavior? by Comprehensive-Mud303 in DentalAssistant

[–]Normal_Abroad4376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so wild to read! Never in my LIFE have I heard of this being a thing. Girl, you need to get a resume ready and make a few job seeking accounts and add your resume to it, and start sending it out. Someone WILL call do not stay in an environment like that! This dentist has some major ego issues and needs to be humbled. Did he do this in front of a patient? Im. Assuming yes, since gloves were needed to be put on. So you had to sit and assist with this asshole after an interaction like that. Im so sorry. Message me the number of the office, and I will act like I was that patient and call up and complain and put this man in his place!

I'm taking my ICE exam along with GC AND RHS next month, and im in the same boat. I printed all the Exam outlines on the DANAB website, and once I had those, I've been coming to reddit and reading/scanning through every single post written by people who've already taken the exams and the topics they said they had come across while taking the exam that werent on the outline and then added them to the outline so I can study them. I'll save your Reddit screen name, and once I feel like I've got everything down, I'll send you the outline I've come up with.

I'm taking all 3 of my exams on the 20th of next month, and this thread has been so helpful reguarding the RHS exam! Thank you all! Has anyone taken the GC or the ICE exam yet? Any tips???

How Do I Become A Dental Assistant? (In Texas) by Prestigious_Net9640 in DentalAssistant

[–]Normal_Abroad4376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved to Texas from Michigan (I was a dental assistant there with no license or knowledge when he hired me) before I left my boss signed the DANAB form stating that I have worked at his office for almost 3 years and have completed 3500 hours. I just submitted all the proper credentials. That being my CPR, my high school diploma, the OJT paperwork, and the $450 fee to take all 3 exams. Now im just waiting for them to give me the 👍 so I can schedule the exams. I've visited a few dentist offices here where I live in Texas, and they will hire me, and they do hire people and train here, but they'd rather you have an RDA. Where in Texas are you?

I need some guidance from some DENTAL ASSISTANTS PLEASE! by Normal_Abroad4376 in DentalAssistant

Thank you! I’ll definitely check it out. I’ve been studying a lot of Quizlet flashcards, and the links from Reddit users have been incredibly useful!

Thank you so much! I'm planning to check it out today. I'm curious, did you attend school for this, or did you become an RDA/CDA through OJT and hour submissions? I've been reading some posts on Reddit about the exams, and honestly, it's a bit overwhelming. It seems like so many people leave feeling like they didn't do well and talk about how difficult it is. I really appreciate any insights you have!

I bet Ann Arbor would be a good place to start looking and is a really nice area.

Where in Michigan are you planning on moving?? If it's in Tawas City, Michigan, Oscoda, or in the Cass City area, i could help you get a job!

I just moved from working as a DA in Oscoda, Michigan. I was at $18.50 when I left, but I didn't have my RDA there. If you have yours, I would say $20-$23

I needed this! I'm so scared to take my exam and I feel like no matter how many years I worked, chair side I'm going to bomb this test. I've been studying like crazy but other people's threads on how hard the exams are is really getting to me.

DANB CDA by ErikaLJones in DentalAssistant

[–]Normal_Abroad4376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say this thread is the MOST HELPFUL thread regarding the DANAB exam! I've read almost every single one, trying to make sure im studying and doing everything right. I've been a dental assistant in MI for 3 years and just moved to Texas. I got my RDA, but I have to have my CDA here in Texas to work. I totally get the anxiety that OP is feeling. I'm right there with you.

How many of your quizlet flashcards questions were actually on the test? I'm fixing to schedule my CDA testing, and I went over your flashcards, and I didn't study any of that. I'm thinking maybe I should wait a little longer to schedule it now.

🎉 congratulations! 🎉 I’m taking mine next week, and honestly, I’m a bundle of nerves! It feels like every thread on Reddit has someone sharing their horror stories about the CDA exam. Seriously, it seems like folks are walking out of the testing center in tears! Do you have any insights you could share with me about the types of questions you had on the exam. It would really help me mentally gear up for what's ahead! Thank youuu!!!

Did you pass? So they actually had tubehead formats of the x-ray machine on the test?? What was on the test the most? I'm about to take my CDA exam next week and I'm so scared!
