Testimonials

I have always had a love for the medical field. I started as a personal care aide and then became a CNA. The CNA work became too much for my physical health. I then pursued an associate's degree in medical office administration. I unfortunately did not use that degree to my advantage. After graduation, I began working in a pharmacy. I had to leave that job when I relocated. I have worked a few manufacturing/warehouse jobs, but they were not right for me.
I found this program and at first I thought this was too good to be true. Tuition free schooling, What? After a few days of thinking about it, I finally said what is the harm in trying. So I filled out the information online, got the call!
