The pulse has been such an awesome experience! First of all they truly make you feel like family within the couple of days you get to spend with everyone . Secondly, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who’s seeking an interest into the medical field whether you wanna work hands on or completely not working with patients. You get to experience so many different fields that cover multiple areas.I was able to learn so much like what path I should take and the similarities that differ from technical colleges to universities. Plus the most amazing part is you can ask as many questions with these healthcare providers about their journey they took to become where they are now and help you with your next step in life. Take that step and join The pulse because it’s been the most amazing experience that I have gotten and truly I think I know exactly what I wanna do for my future! Skylar Wahrenbrock
