Moving from general nursing to orthodontics

Hi, I've been an ortho nurse for 2 years now and I can tell you it is very over whelming when you first start. The change between general and ortho is more than you expect! The appointments are generally shorter and you are required to be quick but if your ortho believes you are picking it up quickly then this is a good thing! You will get used to it soon enough and fall in love with it, you will never want to go back to general :)

Ive just moved to an orthodontic practice from being in general nursing for past 4 years and I feel like its a bit over whelming. I had the same feeling when I was doing my dental nursing course and i passed through it and I know i will feel more relaxed once i know ortho instruments and the way dentists work. Its very quick working and i feel like im not working like the other nurses. My orthodontist says im picking it up fast but i just feel abit overwhelmed. Did anyone else feel the same? Im panicing about my radiography course as i struggled with radiography in my dental nursing course. Any tips?
