Review of Health Career Specialist

I came here in 2011. I can't speak for how it is now but I got a lot out of it and it was a Very quick course. I wanna say I paid around $1100ish? I worked retail before this and it took a while to get the state license (MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS ASAP! It takes months before it's completed!) and the difference in pay and environment makes it worth it.

The course itself was easy And quick but the job hunt is the hardest. No one wants to hire new people. But I made $10 working retail and now I find jobs starting at $17. My first phleb job was at a plasma donation center Making like $13. now I make $17. Unfortunately I haven't gotten a raise since then cuz I work for a cheap company but if you have trouble getting your foot in the door, I'd honestly suggest working out of state for like 6 months (where they don't care about experience). After I got that hospital experience I came back to CA and made way more money.

Still though, I'm looking for another job, hoping that I can move up from $17. I've heard there are a lot of places who pay over $20. You'll get there.

But anyway, If all you want is a quick course for a solid medical career, this was a great place to do it.
