With my previous medical background, I was drawn to the Sterile Processing program as an ideal career path. The program's shorter duration made it feasible for me to attend school while managing my responsibilities at home.
The support I received from every faculty member was invaluable. Whenever I had questions, they were answered quickly and thoroughly. The faculty showed genuine care and understanding, especially when I faced unexpected challenges that needed addressing.
Herzing enabled me to complete my studies on time because the program fit seamlessly into my busy schedule, allowing me to pursue higher education in my chosen career path. The courses and job training were both instrumental in preparing me for the Sterile Technician role, as the material I learned directly related to the real-life scenarios I encountered in my job duties.
My only challenge stemmed from personal issues. However, when I reached out to my advisor, she was incredibly understanding and supportive, helping me navigate my problems and checking in to ensure I was doing okay.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to find the right employer for my Sterile Technician role. At the beginning of my Sterile Processing program, I secured a position at a well-known hospital, but after completing my training, I decided to seek opportunities closer to home.
I was pleasantly surprised by my ability to complete the program and achieve good grades! Herzing provided me with the tools I needed to advance my career. My advice to others is to do your research to ensure the path aligns with your future goals, and always stay within your budget!
