Nurse or Dental Hygenist

Nurse or Dental Hygenist?
I was planning on going to Nursing school (LPN) in 2009 if i am accepted and everything goes as i plan. I am taking pre reqs now and i am only in my sec semester. Right now i am taking math (algebra) and biology (101). I am having trouble in bio already and i am thinking about doing to the DH program. I know both educations are not easy. I am still waiting for the day when i will finally get it all down. I am from germany so there is a huge language problem here..... Should i stay with the nursing or should i go with the DH? Thanks for all the help.

If you relly feel you want to be a nurse go for it, but if you havea any doughts maybe being a nurse is not for you.

maybe if you are finding learning it hard then maybe its not for you....what if you are needed in an emergency and cant remember something that you learnt. on the other hand maybe you would be a good nurse but cant get to grips with something like algebra. but with dental hygenist you will be cleaning peoples mouths (especiallly those with periodontis and smelly breathe) all day... id choose nurse lol. but only you can make that decision. what would you be happier doing and what do you enjoy more?? its about that

I am currently in dental hygiene school, but their is still a lot of biology that you learn. The bones of the skull, the muscles of the head, neck and mouth, arteries, veins, anatomy of the teeth. It is a little challenging, but you can get through it. Regardless of what you pick, you should like what you're doing.

Yes it's gonna suck for you-it's the army..

K-Town is just fine. Had to look up M6. why the Army would put a LPN in an ADA unit is interesting. I was not stationed down there but went thru there several times driving to Pirmasens Army Depot. We fueled up a few times there too while out flying with the CO. That chow hall on Ramstein was awesome. Great part about Germany is just about everything. You can wash out your wallet or pocket book in the Rhine at Mainz at the end of Fasching (Lent), see the Castle burn in Heidelberg ever other weekend, walk on 600 year old streets. I suggest you get the other half there for at least a vacation. From Garmische you can hit Nueschwannstein, Oberamergau, Weiss Kirche, Zugspitz, Innsbruck. K-Town is spitting distance from France, 2.5 hours from Frankfurt, 4 hours from Munchen (Munich), there is even a Schloss Frankenstein in Darmstadt. It has nothing to do with the book, is not much, but is one of those "been there done that" places to go. October Fest starts in mid Sep end the first week of Oct, it's a must.

CGFNS CES question, need help

CGFNS CES question, need help?
Hi everybody, I am a registered nurse in Germany and Australia. My initial nursing education was in Germany from 2000-2003. I moved to the US and am trying to get registered here. I have to apply for the Credential Evaluation Service with CGFNS. Has anybody ever done it before, do they just say your skills match the skills of an RN or LVN? Anyone from Germany that has done it and the outcome of it? Thanks!!!
