Hi There,
I am new to this site and had a quick look through to see if I could see any topics previously about this but couldn't see anything at a glance...
I was wondering if there are any nurses on here that also assist in implants/surgical procedures? And if so, do you get some sort of benefit, pay rise for doing so?
I was promised when I took on this role that I would get a percentage per implant that was placed but I am yet to see it 3 years later. I have came in on Saturdays when the practice is closed to assist but have to constantly chase up being paid for it. I have asked on several occasions to attend the implants for dental nurses courses, but yet again its never happened 3 years later and if I was to leave yes I would have the experience but I haven't under took the training.
He is now leaving to do further training and will be carrying out implant/surgical procedures on a Saturday and just want to see if anyone else does this, at what cost and if they have had to carry out the training to do so....
