Reading the 1901 Census for Harry Dunnett

[Marytm]

I am having trouble reading the Birmingham Ladywood Census for 1901 Harry Dunnett.
It says he is a Dentist and something about home? Is he working from home or does it say something else? Is it a coincidence that next door is an Opticians Clerk anda ... Nurse ? (I can't read what sort of nurse SH something?)

It says he is working on 'own account' which is one of the three choices at the head of the column (employer, worker or own account) and was working at home. I think the wording above Hospital Nurse is 'Sick'. And the person in the entry above was an Optician's Clerk.

Hi,

I can see Harry DUNNETT on the "UK, Dentist Registers, 1879-1942" at Ancestry between 1879 and 1905,

1879 
DUNNETT Harry    53¹/₂ Ryland Street, Birmingham
Date of registration:  1878  Nov 5
Description and date of qualification:  In practice before Jul 22 1878

1885, 1893, 1896, 1900 and 1905.
Same details, different address.
198 St Vincent St, Ladywood Birmingham


In 1871 Harry was living with his family and was a dentist's apprentice. He might not have had to qualify officially with exams as before 1879 dentists could learn just as an apprentice.

"Initially when the Dentists Register started dentists could register without a qualification if they could prove they had been working in dentistry for five years prior to 1878."
