Keisha Monroe, dental hygienist in teal scrubs smiling in clinical setting

Keisha Monroe

Former Elementary School Teacher → RDH

Evening & Weekend Track
"I cried in the parking lot after my first clinical day. Not from stress — from relief. I finally knew I was in the right place."

Keisha left teaching after 8 years when her third child was born. She needed a career with consistent hours and a salary that justified childcare costs. She graduated in 17 months, passed her boards on the first attempt, and now earns 40% more than she did teaching.

Marcus Delgado, registered dental hygienist in clinical scrubs

Marcus Delgado

Certified Dental Assistant → RDH

Accelerated Full-Time Track
"I'd been handing instruments for 9 years. I knew what I was doing. The accelerated track let me prove it — 12 credits for my DA experience."

Marcus worked chairside at a pediatric practice for nearly a decade before deciding to pursue his hygiene license. The credit-for-prior-learning option saved him both time and tuition. He now sees his own patient schedule at the same practice where he once assisted.

Priya Nair, military spouse and registered dental hygienist

Priya Nair

Military Spouse · Camp Pendleton → Fort Bragg → RDH

Military Spouse Hybrid Track
"We've moved four times in six years. My license moved with me every single time. That was the whole point."

Priya's husband has served 14 years in the Army. She started her hygiene program in California, transferred her clinical hours to a partner site in North Carolina when they relocated, and finished on schedule. MyCAA covered $4,000 of her tuition.

Jordan Park, recent graduate turned registered dental hygienist

Jordan Park

Biology Degree → Career Clarity → RDH

Accelerated Full-Time Track
"I graduated with a bio degree and no idea what to do with it. Eighteen months later, I have a full patient schedule and zero regrets."

Jordan applied to medical school twice, got waitlisted both times, and found dental hygiene almost by accident — a friend mentioned it at a cookout. His biology coursework transferred as prerequisites, cutting his prep time significantly.
