HELP RE: Florida dental hygiene exams for foreigners

[allbeit]

HI everyone. I'm new here.

I am a foreign trained dentist and i would like to try dental hygiene exams. Can I take the exam right away without going to school?

Do I have to take the NBDE for dental hygiene first before I take State board for Florida?

I'm so sorry I'm so confused on what steps I should take to finally practice here in US.

I'm currently here in US as tourist. Can I take the exams in Florida this JUNE? Can i take the exam with a tourist visa? If not, what kind of visa do i need and do you have a suggestion on how I can change my status?

What are the requirements for application?

Hopefully needing some advice...

GOOD DAY!!!

Hello and welcome allbeit.
This should be a good start. And NO, I am afraid you have missed the application deadline (03/31/06) for this years June exam. Anyways, don't take my word for it. It's all there on this thread;
