Dear Friend,
The thermometer is ever so slowly creeping up. The sound of birds chirping is a welcome break from the silence of the cold winter. Baseball season has begun again.
Ah, the wonders of SPRING!!!
Spring cleaning is an age old expression associated with cleaning a home after the winter.  However, it can also be synonymous with any sprucing up and organizing activities.
This issue of RDH Temps eNews will highlight some areas you may wish to look at that could easily fall into Spring Cleaning territory.  Completing A.C.E. (Additionally Credentialed Employee) requirements  would be a great Spring project.
 
A Shot of Protection is a must read on the importance of adult immunizations and is positive reinforcement of the value of keeping current in this area.
How about some new uniforms or scrubs for the new season? RDH Temps offers discounts on uniform purchases at My Group Purchase. Enter Coupon code RDH TEMPS to receive your discount.
 
Spring also brings lots of organizational meetings.  Check out the complete schedule below of the meetings where RDH Temps will be exhibiting.
Meet Juliet Rogers - CT Representative
 
Juliet Rogers is the newest addition to RDH Temps. She was previously a dental assistant in San Diego, CA. Juliet moved to Connecticut in 2007 and CTcontacted RDH Temps about dental assisting opportunities.  In January of this year, she joined our team in her current capacity as Connecticut area representative. 
 

In addition to being a dental assistant, Juliet attended the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University for two years. Juliet transferred to the University of Connecticut, where she is completing her bachelors degree in Health and Sciences, Summa Cum Laude.  Juliet serves as president of UConn's Pre-Dental Society and is preparing to apply to dental school.  In her spare time, Juliet is a volunteer scuba diver at the Mystic Aquarium and she likes to accompany her husband Spencer on medical missions across the globe.  Juliet and her husband live in southeastern Connecticut.  

 

Juliet and will be traveling throughout the state to visit our customers. She will also be recruiting dental staff in Connecticut and providing initial orientation to new RDH Temps employees.  If your office is based in Connecticut, don't be surprised if one of these days a smiling Juliet stops in to say hello.

Have You Grown Too?
 

Perhaps you have acquired additional skills or experience since you originally registered with RDH Temps. Computer software?  Digital X-rays?  Bleaching Techniques? These are just a few of the possible things offices may require.  Updating your file will allow the most possible matches in our state of the art software program.

Perhaps you have sufficient experience to now be CDA Eligible.  Maybe you have taken the CDA exam.  Radiology certification is an often required experience.  DANB has all the information to help you assess your current situation.  If you have not pursued your CDA, what better time than now?
Come Grow With Us!
If you are a dental hygienist, have you received your local anesthesia permit?  If so, please tell us so we may add that skill to your profile.
