My goal is to become a nurse but I’ve decided to pursue a short term goal in becoming a sterile processing technician. So far, U.S Career Institute has been a great choice. There’s a lot to learn on the lessons but everything is very organized and understandable. I’m very excited to learn and relearn because there’s so much to learn. Can’t wait to be certified!!
