I start a new job on Monday, dental hygienist here

After 12 months I accepted a job as a dental hygienist. I am in Fresno, in case local advice matters. It is not my dream role, but the pay is fair and the people are kind. Any advice for starting over?

That is wonderful news. Keep applying for a little while if you have not signed, it is a good habit.

Well earned. Ask questions early, even small ones. People liked it.
