College Advice |
Question: Dorsey Business Schools?The school offers a 16 month program to become a patient care tech. How much does a patient care tech earn? What about finding a job in my area? Has anyone heard anything good or bad about Dorsey Schools? There is very little information available online. Any advice from health care providers, educators, or student's that went to the school would be appreciated.15 months ago
Best Answergo online and look at the local hospitals in your area. then go to employment opps. scroll around to see what fits your job and they should show you the paying rate. also you could call the human resource dept for the hospital and explain that you are a student in training and that you are taking class;s. ask them what are the odds of you getting a job there right out of school and how much do they pay. They should be able to tell you off the bat what to exspect and what is available. try more than one hospital to get a second opinion. HOPE THAT HELPS !!! |
