Predent: How to become TEXAS RDA (as a high school senior)?

[odpropofol]

Hello all,

{Please only reply if you know about the formalities in Texas}
I was wondering how I could become a RDA in Texas? (I know in some states you have to work under a dentist for two years). I was also wondering if I should also obtain an CPhT (self study) <I am currently started studying>and EMT-B (possibly over the summer). Will ADCOM like or hate getting all three?

I took my course online through UTHSCSA! 🙂 after I completed it, I registered through the state board.

But why would you get all three? Do you actually WANT to do it? That's the most important part. It gets a little costly...!

Take this course online, get a CPR certificate, then apply for your RDA certificate. Total process takes 2-3 months, maybe even less.

Its only useful to get all 3 if you use all 3 extensively.

that's a lot to take on all at once, and if youre not keeping up with it for more than a year its probably not worth it

Already finished the DA course. (Pic for proof (name and number removed for anonymity )) I am going to do nitrous next week, so should I send them both together? Will sending it online be faster?
I am BLS certified.


Is this the correct link for the application? http://www.tsbde.texas.gov/node/204.html

That's the correct link for RDA license application, but I wouldn't know about nitrous certification.
