After being out of school for over two decades, deciding to go into the phlebotomy program at Athena was very scary. But once I met with my instructors and got to know the students, it was honestly one of the best decisions I have made about my education in a long time. The teachers here care and want to see you succeed, and with the smalls classes, you can’t help but do that….so thanks Athena!
