This year marks our 16th year. Dental Nurse Network was founded in 2010 by registered dental nurse Marama Millar, built from one simple question: what's next for dental nurses? That one question is what gave rise to the Dental Nurse Network. And there are plenty of dental nurses today asking questions of their own: how do I develop myself as a dental nurse? What career options are there for me? Where could I head to next?

Since then, our inspiration stories have become one of the most valued parts of our website: real dental nurses sharing real journeys, and showing just how far a career in dentistry can go.

Next week we are launching our brand new website, and as part of that we want to share even more inspiring stories. We would love to include yours.

Perhaps you have developed yourself as a dental nurse, retrained, or found a way to grow your career that you never expected. Perhaps you thought outside the box, or you have some wise words that could help another dental nurse. Whatever your journey, it could be just the encouragement someone else needs.

If you would like to take part, simply share your story using our short form [here]. There is no need to worry about the wording. Tell us about your journey and we will shape it into an article, then send it to you to approve before it is published.

We would love to hear from you.
