I would check out the different hospitals…alot of the time they just need experience… but shit, if they have a program, it will make my transition into the EP lab so much easier.

yea man, you dont need an f’in course for that. save your money and just get a position as a care tech. might have to wipe some ass depending on where you go but its better than having to pay for a “course” and then you still dont have any work experience. ---
