You looked into healthcare careers and walked away more confused than when you started.
Too many paths. Too much jargon. Everyone says "just get certified" and nobody tells you in what, or what hospitals actually hire for.

It doesn't have to work that way. Follow along as I break down how this field actually works, in plain language, so you can decide if it's for you without wasting a year guessing.
