Many dental nurses undertake further study in the hope that it will lead to an increase in pay, only to feel blindsided when the monetary gain is not as high as they’d hoped. This can cause some nurses to be put off from the idea of upskilling or gaining another qualification. But are there reasons to gain qualifications other than the potential of increased pay?
