This episode is a deep dive with your host of the Dental Hygiene Basics Podcast, Dana Paladino, on the Toothbytes Podcast with Mia and Nicole! We dive into the timeline of my entire academic and professional timeline and how I ended up with all these different jobs as a dental hygienist. To name a few, I am a public health hygienist, national board tutor, ADEX examiner, and business owner. I hope that sharing my story can shed light on some of the ways dental hygienists can utilize their licenses outside of the operatory!  Timestamps: (00:00) Dana's RDH Origin Story and Journey(05:45) Educational Background and Career Evolution(11:23) Experiences in Dental Hygiene School(17:26) Supporting Students in Dental Hygiene(23:16) Mindset and Preparation for Board Exams🟠 Struggling in school? https://dentalhygienebasics.mykajabi.com/pl/2148740487 🟠 Socials: @dentalhygienebasics 🟠 Scholarships: www.dentalhygienebasics.com/scholarships 🟠 See all FREE upcoming student events: www.dentalhygienebasics.com/events<hr> Hosted on Acast.
