I can only speak on my experience when completing the EKG certification (but I know for fact many others share my sentiments). And I’m willing to admit that maybe my expectation was too high. I expected the knowledge I obtained from this class to take me a lot further. And it just did not. It barely got me in the door and even still I was one of the lucky few. I expected more guidance and resources as someone who is new to the medical field being taught by someone who is a vet in the medical field. But no. Once class concluded the only thing she told me is “now get a job.” She did offer to redo my resume though. However, that took weeks of waiting on her to return my resume until I just decided to do it myself.
What I will say is she will indeed make sure you pass that class by any means. But please know that is it. Once you complete the class her job is done (respectfully). And to be fair your success is your responsibility. But for $1100 you only get the bare minimum and maybe that’s just how these things go.
I say that to say that if you plan to pursue a solid career as a EKG tech or Telemetry tech (through Blessed Hands Phlebotomy specifically) there is A LOT you must know that is not taught in the class. I had to do a lot of self teaching just to pass the test to get a job, a ton of peer shadowing to keep my job, and I had to purchase books and self teach even more to get a national certification. You really only enroll in these classes to get a sheet of paper that makes you eligible for the role. There is a lot of potential in this opportunity so I urge everyone to research your career goals and plan accordingly. This is...
Read moreMy experience with Blessed Hands was the best decision I could have ever made for myself. Couldn't with working a full-time job owner offered the perfect schedule to accommodate full class. The experience of what blood draw actually is, coupled with the knowledge of what it means for the patient to the doctor is most amazing. Ms. Latoya took the time to connect the dots on how it all comes together. She provided adequate training and had all the supplies to available to prepare and get you ready for this next step and/or experience for Blood Draw. She explained real scenario situations. Next if you will, let me say this: I never thought that part of my training would be myself along with fellow students training on each other. But guess what? It surly was. When Ms. Latoya said these following WORDS, "Get Out Cha Head!" You better believe she meant exactly that. Her next words were, No let's Stick, Let's get this Blood. After practice and two times pleas Believe we were Drawing Blood. I would highly recommend her to anyone and all. She leads by example and gets you prepared. The rest is up to you. You have to see this lady at work for yourself. She's encouraging, charming, leads by example and has the biggest heart. but More importantly, she gets you trained and ready for the world 🌎....
Read moreThis business is the BEST. They offer such a great range of classes from phlebotomy, EKG, BLS, and more. Plus, they have locations all over Texas. Arlington, Wichita Falls, and now even Lubbock. The prices here are unbeatable. I received my EKG Technician certification here as well as my BLS certification and only paid around $700. Before I found this business, I was looking to get my certifications online through Vernon Community College and it was about to cost me somewhere between $2000-$3000. The prices here offer the exact same curriculum at only a fraction of the cost but with a better value because of the one-on-one training and expertise that you will receive. My instructors were Ms. LaToya and Ms. Crystal and they are absolute ANGELS. They are the sweetest ladies and they truly went above and beyond for me. They genuinely care for their students and it shows. They will stay on you until you know the material forwards and backwards. The certifications here are not given, only EARNED. Their teaching methods make it so easy to learn and you’ll finish your courses as a professional in your field. I am so grateful for this business and the opportunities that it has opened up for me and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who is looking for a career in the...
