I will be going to dental assisting-basic which is 17 hours and then advance dental assisting which is 21 hours.
i am going full time, Mon-Thurs. from 8am-11:30am everyday
when do you think i will be finished?
On average how long would it take to complete 38 credit hours at a college?
3 semesters or 1.5 years.
Reply:You could do it in one year to one and a half.
Reply:Well...it depends how many you take. If you take 12 a semester (usually 4 classes, pretty average)...it'll take you 4 semesters. If you take 15 a semester...it'll take you 3 semesters.
Normally classes should be worth credits (3,4,etc.) and it should say on your schedule.
I would wager a guess that the program you're in should take about a year - a year and a half?
Reply:ok, so, usually a semester load is like, 15 hours, so, about 2.5 semesters (a year and a half approx).
Reply:figure it out- when you are done you will be finished!
Reply:a year (including summer term) or a year and half without summer..

I am a RN and when first in nursing school had trouble looking at blood, urine, etc. But I did get used to it!
Make sure you eat something before going to class...part of you dizziness could be hypoglycemia!

Passing out question?
Yes, you will become desensitized and it will no longer bother you. If you feel dizzy again, take some deep, cleansing breaths. Draw air in through your nose and exhale deeply out through your mouth. Breath very slowly and deeply and the dizzy feeling should subside. Usually when you're anxious, you begin to breath rapidly and then hyperventilate. Try to breath calmly and remind yourself to relax. You will soon become used to the procedures. Good luck.
Reply:you are nervous now =by the time you become a dentist ,you should be an old pro at it=needles blood and all=good luck

Need Advice About School?
I work in retail and barely make enough to pay my bills. I wanted to do Medical Billing and Coding and I looked into my options. I wanted to go to Heald but it cost $10,000 for their program. I found another class at a Adult Education Center that offered Medical Billing and Coding for $600. I'm taking the $600 class and so far I don't feel like it will help me to get a job or give me the training I need. Most of the time the teacher talks about her personal life or about some drama she had at her work place. If I drop the class I won't get my money back.
I want to go to Heald but its a lot of money. I was also thinking about doing Dental assisting which is offered at the community college and it won't cost me that much money. What should I do? Should I stay in my class? Should I go to another school?
Which career do you think is better Medical Billing or dental assisting? Thank you!!
Need Advice About School?
Finish the class but maybe you can speak to someone and get transfered? Or interrupt the instructor %26amp; ask class focused questions. Many B %26amp; C classes are fairly self taught from a work book anyway. Avoid that $10,000 school--you might not make that $ to pay back. I would seriously consider the dental as well. You may have problems finding a billing job in the end.
Reply:if you're not going to get your money back, you should at least finish the course to get a "degree" or "certificate" that says you completed this course.
after that, use that degree to help you find a job. if that doesn't work out, go to Heald or a community college.
Reply:You have the right to speak your concern to the teacher. Your paying a lot of money and you should be getting your money's worth. If she doesn't stop her story telling, etc. then go ask for a refund. You might get it.

What does a dentist look for?
Will a dental office be turned away from a part time dental assistant who is also going to school? What kind of hours could an assistant expect to work as part time... not # of hours but time frames like 8am - 12pm, etc. Would you recommend someone to go through a dental assisting program while getting their bachelors to get into dental school. Do you think it would have an effect on the educational performance to be working as an assistant while being a full time student?
What does a dentist look for?
There area I live (California) many assistants work part time. Usually DDS offices are only open 4 days a week. Or they have sooo many associates and are open 6 days a week that they will need lots of help. Interesting enough a few of my dental assist friends who did a vocational program, did it just as a bridge to hygiene school. It would not be a bad idea to do a assistant program, I think it will give you a GREAT view to see if you actually want to be a DDS. If you do it this way, your not paying thousands of dollars just to decide that maybe its not for you.

I will only have to take 17 hours of college, what does this mean?
i am going to a community college to study for Dental Assisting and it says for basic dental, it will be 17 hours and then advanced will take 21 hours. So i'm sure i will take the basic then go to advance. What does 'hours' really mean? will i be in school for about a year or less? They told me that i will be going Mon-Thurs. so i will be a full time student.
If anyone knows any of this information and anything about dental assisting, please let me know! thx!
I will only have to take 17 hours of college, what does this mean?
you'll probably stay in college for about 9months to a year...good luck!
Reply:I would think it would be 17 hours per week as just going for 17 hours doesnt seem that much for all that you have to learn.
Reply:It's based on the idea of a "credit hour" It has nothing to do with the amount of time you are in school.
Basically, it is a way of measuring the difficulity of the class (a 3 credit hour class is easier than a 4 credit hour class) and how many classes you need to graduate.

some of your credits may transfer from high school and some of the classes like math reading and english you may be able to test out of. this is a great career choice girl. you will make a lot of money doing something you really enjoy. talk to the advisor at the school and see which of your credits transfer and which classes you should take to get out of taking them in college have your high school counselor talk to the advisor at the college and together they can work out a plan for you.
Reply:Just contact the college and ask your questions. They will give you the name of the department head in that program to contact. They will be thrilled that you are interested in them and impressed that you are mature enough to already be looking at colleges.
Reply:From the link you provided, it looks like you must take 13 hours of General Core classes and 78 hours of Occupational Courses. That equals 91 hours required to graduate.
So, YES, you have to take all the courses on the list.
