I'm a student at a dental assisting school in texas, and i'm going to be moving to chicago, what should i do?

I'm currently a student at a dental assisting school in Texas, and will graduate in December, and then register in TX. However, I just recently found out I may be moving to Chicago at the beginning of 2008. What do I need to do in order to be able to start my career in Illinois? Do I need to register in that state, or do I have to go to school all over in IL, then register? Do you even have to be liscened to do dental assisting in IL or what? Please Help!!

you'll need to register in chicago. You do have to be licensed in IL.
Reply:Talk to your school adviser and they will help you to make the move to a new school that will accept the credits you already have.
Reply:you probably only have to register in Il, just check with their dental association there. If anything you may have to take the exam there, but I can';t see how you would have to take the classes there as well. I am pretty sure they will transfer over..just check before you take the exam. call the ada if you can't locate the local dental association in Illinois.





good luck to you:)
Reply:Find out if the Dental assisting school your going to has one in Chicago. And have your school records trasferred. And if they dont then find a Dental assisting school in Chicago. And see if the school you are attending now will transfer all your records to that school. Good luck
Reply:Apply for jobs here (I live in Chicago). I highly doubt you have to go to school all over again. Talk to your school counslors and see what they have to say. They should be able to tell you. http://www.idfpr.com/dpr/WHO/dent.asp Here's a Certified Dental website for Illinois. I hope it was helpful! Good luck here in Chicago!
