Phlebotomy is a medical vampire.
They learn the theory behind what they're doing,
they learn how to appropriately look for a vein,
and they will also learn the way to actually take
the blood successfully.
When you learn online or at another school,
it's really hard to get the experience you need.
And I feel this course really helped
me prepare for what I was going to do in the field.
I chose phlebotomy because I wanted
to expand my career goals.
I'm already an x-ray tech.
So I wanted an additional license.
So that's why I chose phlebotomy.
I wanted to be more useful in my job.

I would definitely recommend it.
The hours of the program are really flexible.
So it's easy for mothers or people who work full time.
So I really recommend it.
The instructors were great.
It's really easy to sign up for the class.
It's affordable.

CNA is a person that provides bedside care.
They do what they call activities
of daily living, which is bathing, grooming,
dressing, oral care, brushing your teeth.
And they assist these people that can't
do these things on their own.
The job market here in the DFW area is very good.
As far as becoming a nursing assistant, as I say,
you have various health care settings that you can work in.
There is a great demand here.

Bringing back patients, taking care of patients,
helping the nurse out with anything she may need.
Just generally hands on with the patient.

Helping my patients and making them laugh
and making them feel better, that'll
be what I like the most.
I'll give your results to the doctor, and she'll be in soon.
OK.
Thank you.

When a student decides to go get a certificate for phlebotomy,
there's no stopping you from getting another certificate.
The more certificates that you have,
the better it can be for you as your experience.
Because some places need you to know patient care
and phlebotomy.
And so having multiple certificates
is very helpful in the work field.
And all these certifications are used together
in the hospital setting.
So anyone who would like to work in a hospital, the certificate
program is great.
