I graduated from PSNK in August of 2009. I absolutely love working in this field. I was able to find a job one week after my internship ended, and I have had two job offers since I began working in the field. It is a field with endless potential for growth and opportunity. I am currently still working as an entry level biomed. It’s seems most companies are willing to send employees to receive further training on specific equipment as long as there is a need for the training. I currently have certificates for the Fresenius 2008K Dialysis machines, Level 1 training from Ditec, and a certificate for performing the PM’s on the SuperDemension InTouch Bronch System. Every day is different from the next where you might find yourself doing PMs for a day or being called into the OR during a case to fix a problem on a video cart. Many companies are now requiring that Biomeds become certified and I plan on taking the CBET this fall. The courses taken at PSNK definitely hit every aspect of what the job entails and made me feel confident and comfortable entering into the workforce.
