Student Testimonials

Prospective accelerated BSN student

Marissa Sargsyan

This course is affordable and convenient. With this certification, you can land a healthcare job practically in any specialty you want. Seriously best investment I’ve made for my future. I currently work in the ICU as a Patient Care Technician and ready to begin nursing school in a few months!

Pre-PA Student

Sameesa J. Daniels

With little healthcare experience, this course provided me with the skills and training I needed to land a patient care job as a MA in an Endocrinology Clinic. The instructors were highly interactive and even mentored me with feedback on how to improve my PA school application.

1st year Family Nurse Practitioner Student

Abigail Connors

I decided to take this course before starting my Bachelor of Science in Nursing accelerated program because I had absolutely no healthcare experience and felt unprepared to enter my rigorous program. The course was filled with interactive labs and siminars which taught me so many valuable patient care skills I still use today. The instructors constantly provided feedback with relevant clinical information. The patient care technician component really prepared me for nursing school which I completed with excellence. I am proud to say that I am now in my first semester of NP school. Highly valuable course!

Medical School Student

Joshua Mendello

I gained so much from this course that prepared me for Medical School; From medical terminology, to understanding diagnostic methods, and treatment plans of various diseases to even getting a job as a Medical Scribe in the ER, this certification not only prepared me but also built my confidence to deliver skilled healthcare to my future patients as a professional clinician. I highly recommend this course to those interested in gaining some direct patient contact experience before starting med or nursing school.
