would it be easy for a registered nurse to become a dental hygienist?
Asked by Ang
Anyone know if a registered nurse would be able to use her credits towards a dental hygienist program so she wouldn't have to go as long as someone who didn't have a degree?
I wish people would stop posting comments about SMC.

Why would you want to do that? RN's make alot more than hygienists.

A:
it's possible...but every school is different...I took many education classes at one university and they didn't even count toward my Bacc in Education when I transferred to another.

That's really hard to say. Depends on what states you are looking & there are many medical programs that actually do not look at your credits in a different profession. Seems like they usually want you to start from scratch. It is also a must to have retaken your anatomy & physiology & some other sciences(depending on the job) every 5 years. They want it to be fresh on your mind when you get your job. I barely made it cus when I got in my medical program you only had to renew your sciences every 10 yrs. Though I am having to break open my old A & P books again. I wish you the best of Luck!
