I want to become a dental nurse but not sure how to?

I want to become a pediatrician, but im not sure about all the school expenses. Should i be a nurse first?

• I want to be a pediatrician, then perhaps specialize. But i have financial problems and im not sure about scholarships....Should i become a nurse first?

• Answer:

  The path to become a nurse and the path to become a doctor are not very similar. And you would usually not have time to work, so being a nurse first will not help you. I met this REALLY fascinating women yesterday (I'm a female too, we just clicked like friends). She is working on her maxillofacial surgery md (oral surgery). She had done her undergrad, 5 years of dental school (she is a dentist) and in her 5th year of a 6 year program in maxillofacial surgery. I guess I'm blunt because I asked how she can afford all that... she said that she has always been in programs that she gets paid a stipend and free tuition for helping the community (offering low cost medical care). She said the only loans she has are from her undergraduate program. - I don't if this common - She is at a med school in California.
