Brandi, Personal Support Worker Graduate

“Before I enrolled with PT College, I worked construction for almost 10 years. I worked seasonal construction and had to work out of town all summer long. Not really able to have a life. One day I feel ill, diagnosed with ovarian cancer and having to end my career working construction. After a few years getting my health back on track, I finally pushed myself to go back to school but I was scared of the big colleges and didn’t really want to be in school for years. I happen to come across an ad from PT College promoting the PSW program with St. Joseph’s Care Group. I never thought of being a PSW, but I wanted to challenge myself and the fact that the program was less then six months to finish and you get a full time job right after you graduate, I was willing to try, and I’m glad I did. The teachers were great, the classrooms were comfortable and there were only nine students in my class. All great ladies that I’m still friends with today. The class work was challenging but just right and to the point with the PSW’s roll in the healthcare field. Placement was fun and you learn a lot. This week I start my full time job for St. Joseph’s Care Group at one of their long term care nursing home!”
