Nisam nikad ozbiljno razmišljala da odem vani, kod nas još uvek ima nekih stvari koje možemo sami sebi da organizujemo, malo smo ležerniji, opušteniji. Ideja za osnivanje sopstvene ordinacije razvila se još pre dve godine, kada sam radila za druge ljude, i odnos prema zaposlenima bio je jedan od razloga da pokrenem vlastitu ordinaciju. U kratkom vremenskom roku sam promenila tri poslodavca, to nije bilo ono za šta sam se školovala i što sam zamišljala (radili su se vikendi, i nedeljom, prekovremeno nije bilo plaćeno). Čovek samo dođe jednog dana na posao i jednog dana kažeš zašto to ne bih bila ja, što je moj poslodavac bolji, pametniji od mene i tu je neki taj proces kod mene trajao manje od 6 meseci. Idem da probam, nemam ništa da izgubim, uvek mogu na ovo da se vratim. Gornji Vakuf – Uskoplje je podeljeno po nacionalnom ključu – na bošnjački i na hrvatski, ja se nalazim tačno na toj granici, i moja tehničarka je Hrvatica, katolkinja i živi na drugom kraju grada i mi se uvek zezamo kao women power. Pre toga sam se sve ustručavala da se javim nekome koga ne poznajem lično, da tražim savet za nešto, a onda sam počela pisati svima, na Fejsbuku, Messindžeru. Stomatologija je malo sezonski posao – avgust, septembar, januar, februar, i kad dođe dijaspora, to su udarni meseci, čekaš onda neko vreme kad imaš 4-5 pacijenata dnevno, ali posla ima.

I have never thought seriously about going abroad. There are still some things that we can organize for us ourselves, we are a little more casual, more relaxed. The idea for establishing my own office has developed two years ago, when I worked for other people, and the attitude towards employees was one of the reasons for starting my own
practice.

In a short time, I changed three employers, it was not what I was educated for and what I imagined (working weekends, even Sundays, not paid overtime work). The man only comes to work one day and one day you say why I could not be like that, why my employer is better, smarter than I am, and such kind of process lasted less than 6
months for me. I’m going to try, I have nothing to lose, I can always come back to this. Gornji Vakuf – Uskoplje is divided according to the national key – in Bosnian and Croatian, I am right on that border and my technician is a Croat, a Catholic, and she lives on the other side of the city and we are always kidding like: women power.

Before that I was all hesitant to call someone I do not know personally, to ask for advice for something, and then I started writing to everyone, on Facebook, Messenger. Dentistry is a bit of a seasonal job – August, September, January, February, and when the diaspora comes, these are crucial months, then you wait for some time when you have 4-5 patients per day, but there is work.
