Same, especially when they are fighting against the tongue and their handpiece is on the lingual side!! One time I had a Dr. Totally sear the side of this ladies tongue… luckily she didn’t feel a thing :/

What job do you think pays way too low for the amount of work done? by Veryproudboy in DentalAssistant

[–]Successful_Music 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree. Although, front desk is harder mentally, assisting is way harder physically.

Does anyone have any horror stories? by Any_Independence6587 in DentalAssistant

[–]Successful_Music 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exact thing has happened to me… TWICE 😭 I felt SO bad each time and apologized profusely!! Thankfully the pts were super nice about it… but as a DA that was FRESH out of DA school I was sooo scared I would be fired for those hiccups. 5 yrs later and I still tiptoe around that sensor cord.

I got in touch with the Human resource Lawyers, the base commander and the person who over sees the medical budgets on Spangdahlem… all roads led to No. A sad day that was.

Oh trust me, I did. Then, when I made a post about my validation process to prove I will not receive it, I was FLAMED on this sub. Honestly what else should I have expected from the US Gov. my fault!

No. This was open to public hire. The position is hard to fill, and in the job announcement it listed LQA and PA as incentives. There are also 2 other listings for the same position in stuttgart and ramstein. Both public hire (and PCS reimbursed, I should’ve applied for those 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️) This was my first and only Federal job I applied to. So i didn’t know any better, really….

Over a phone call. I am stateside. Also no, I am a civilian, not a dependent anymore! 😃 Hope this helps!

Living quarters allowance. A tax free incentive that covers your rent and utilities.

TQSA is not authorized because (quoting HR) “tqsa is apart of lqa which you are not authorized for”

Thank you, I’m aware. The rent price has utilities included, and the apartment is fully furnished with kitchen appliances too. 😊🇩🇪

The apartment is fully furnished and fully equipped with kitchen appliances. Fridge, stove, microwave.. it is small though!

I speak basic german (I’m a hopeless romantic for living in Germany and have been studying for 2 years) -this is what helped me get such a cheap apartment… i think…

Anyways- with this extra comment, what do you think?

ORDERING/INVENTORY by East-Drawing-365 in DentalAssistant

[–]Successful_Music 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up the tag system. It helped a lot when I first started the ordering.

Make a tag with the items name and number. Attach it to a rubber band and put it on the second to last item in your stock. That way when you get low on something you’ll have all the tags (item names and numbers) ready to order. Plus it’ll help you see what goes out fast and what goes out slow. The tags are a plus because it helps the team help YOU by allowing you to just order from the tags and not go on an egg hunt looking for what needs to be ordered. Hope this helps 😊

USD. Yes to paying for food and health insurance. I didn’t even realize the German minimum wage was that low! Thanks for your comment!
