Hi, it is definitely NOT a 'meantime' sort of job! lol. It can lead nurses onto other professions/areas of dentistry but is also a career within itself. The pay is generally not as good as it should be, anywhere from min wage to £13 ph. Those on the top end of pay are pretty few and far between! A correspondence course may work out as the cheapest option, however, you must be pretty self-sufficient and motivated to work on your own
