I absolutely hate being a dental nurse. This is why!!!! you are expected to be a mind reader , servant and just general do all for your dentist, you get no thanks nor any gratitude.

I am training at the moment and boy am i not getting any training at my surgery i have to sit, shut up and just fetch this, fetch that and clean, oh and when my dear dentist is working he will sit with his patients head between his legs so guess what i have no view of the mouth at all, so how the hell to you expect me to hold the suction if i cannot see.... And in between him mumbling to himself and mumbling to the patient i also have to guess when he is adressing me I DO ACTUALLY HAVE A NAME WHICH DOES NOT GET USED.

I am so sorry i ever chose this profession, if he runs late so do you and boy oh boy you wont get paid for that 15-20 min overtime that you worked but beware if you are 1 hour late for work he will dock your pay.
