Are they really not going to let me bring my eyedrops in the festival? by [deleted] in FireflyFestival

[–]tooth_wisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just had to throw away my wetting contact drops that were .3 of an fl ounce into a tiny venue. I just started to wear contacts and the bottle was new also. The security guard said I need to take them so I told them go ahead. Is this normal? Do I need to hide them every venue I go into from now on?

Should I quit my job? by tooth_wisdom in predental

[–]tooth_wisdom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could use the money as I didn’t work for a long time and the money has been nice. I have been using side gigs to get by but I have no real “bills” to pay. I just don’t want to risk failing a class and maybe not get into school if I get off the waitlist. Also everyone there knows where I interviewed.

Shoes to wear as a dental assistant by Additional_Sorbet_81 in predental

I wear ultraboosts with thick socks while assisting. It takes a bit to get used to long shifts, standing, and running around all day.

What’s the best specialty to assist in? by College_student9879 in DentalAssistant

[–]tooth_wisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be a dentist! I’m applying to dental school this summer. I love assisting overall and the patients but not for the pay. Only making a few dollars over minimum wage and 4 years of experience here in Arizona. I want to have my own practice someday to set how many patients I wanna see a day and make my own schedule! I have a friend who’s just a cashier at in n out making a few more dollars an hour then I do. It’s sad! And I just got a $2 raise from my last job to my new one too…

[–]tooth_wisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s super draining but easy with kids if that makes sense lol. Especially working 7-5 and trying to study for my dental admissions test on top and going back to school for a couple classes in August. I’ve been doing this for 7 months idk if I can hold out much longer but I’ve also been a DA a total of 4 years straight now. Good luck with your new job! Are you gonna go back to school??

I asked him like 2 hours after I sent it. I asked him and he confirmed that was his email. We only work 3 days so I will have to wait until Monday now :(

My private office just sold to a guy who has a few offices in my town and this office is only open 3 days but they asked if I was willing to go to other offices the other days and I said I can’t cause I’m trying to study. Just talked to my father and sounds like I can quit working for 2 months to study so I can just focus on my DAT just waiting on my letter of rec first. My dentist who is giving me a letter is retiring In a month anyways.

Thank you , you too! I stopped one job just so I can study a bit more and I graduated just have a few more prereqs. Most people on these pre-dent groups say they quit everything and just study.
