In case any of you were wondering, YES, I passed my state board exam and have been licensed as an EFDA (expanded functions dental assistant) for the past few months. I love being a dental assistant and being an EFDA allows me to love my job even more by having more responsibilities. I owe a huge "Thank You" to Dr. Cockley for allowing me to continue my education and for placing her confidence in me.
Our other EFDA, Amber, is also very excited to announce that she's going to me a "Mommy" for the first time! She will be having a beautiful baby girl early next year. Do I even need to mention that we're all very excited for her? Our closely-knit office of eight women will spoil her rotten. Congratulations Amber!
It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day things that we do at work, but I encourage you to find something to get excited about! What's going on in your office that's special right now? If you can't think of anything - maybe you should be the one to start the excitement. Bring in a home-made treat to share, an inspirational article, or maybe it's something as simple as writing a note to your team members letting them know why you appreciate them. Don't forget to let your patients in on the fun and share your excitement.
