I am looking for a new career and do not know what way to go. I am a medical ass!

I am looking for a new career and do not know what way to go. I am a medical assistant in a sleep lab and I?

love taking care of my pt, however I want something that with day light hours and weekend off to spend with my family. Have been researching dental assistant and having a difficult time finding where I can do school for this and go in the evening with the work schedule it is reallly hard. Does anyone have a clue.

There are private schools like Bryman (8 month program) or Heald College that have dental assistant programs. You can pick days or night classes. Remember that these schools are also businesses and unfortunately some of their ad reps will tell u that they don't have any available openings for the schedule that u want if they are trying to fill the day classes first. Just wait and tell them that you'll wait until the evening classes open. Trust me...I used to teach in one of these schools. Just an advice: make sure that dental assisting career is a lucrative career where u live at the moment. The schools will tell u it is because they want you to sign up in the program, so do your homework before calling them. Also some dental offices offer training for a less money than going to a private postsecondary school and you might get more hands-on training thru them, there's one in Modesto, Ca that offers training on Saturdays (for 11 Saturdays). Check out your local newspaper ads. Hope this helps but whatever you do...think twice before signing your contract with the school.
