So on Friday I had my first real job! I don’t count those retail and
babysitting jobs I’ve done, because now I have a degree. As of this May I
completed my college education and now I have a paper to prove it! I graduated
with a Bachelor’s of Science in Dental Hygiene. The actual program itself was
only 2 years long, but it has taken me six years since graduating high school
to accomplish this. “And you only received your Bachelor degree?” I know I
know, but let me tell you it was not easy and I could not be prouder of myself.
Now I have just been looking for the perfect job (well any job to be
realistic J). It has been
tough to find a hygiene position, but I was lucky enough to be called into an
office as a substitute. I was thrilled, but tried to show my professionalism by
not jumping up-and-down screaming YAY!!!!!! The office scheduled me two clients
for routine prophy’s (cleanings). I know that thru school I have completed
several of these, but I was still really nervous. Needless to say I did not
sleep much the night before. In my mind, I was reviewing all that my teachers
had told me as they came to review my work…telling myself that I could not
forget to do that and so on…for the Whole NIGHT!
Well I looked great for my first day anyways; my mom had purchased
my first scrub top to wear! It was such a nice change from my faded black
scrubs from school. Well I arrived on time and kept to my schedule with both of
my clients. I was actually surprised at how fast and easy my knowledge came
back to me. It was weird at first to not have my teachers glancing over my
shoulder, but once I began working I found that I felt calm and confident. Both
clients and the dentist seemed to think I did a good job, so I am hoping that I
will get future calls for substitute work (or better yet a full-time job!) My
husband was so considerate and gave me a huge hug to celebrate my successful
day. On top of that he had a beautiful vase of flowers delivered to Ashley
Stokes RDH (Registered Dental Hygienist)! I love Nathan and all the support he
gives me. What a perfect day and hopefully more like it in the future!
