What Our Medical Laboratory Technician Graduates Say

Jasmin Nieves

“I wanted to do something else with my life”

Before I came to Cambridge College I was struggling in leaving my kids behind because I was a stay at home mom and wife for 5 years. One day I woke up and decided I wanted to do something else with my life. I went to take a tour at the school, Ron was the one that helped me to enroll at the school. I had one amazing teacher, Mrs. Washington who helped us, gave us advice, and was always there. She shows that she really cares about her students and just wants us to succeed.

Lazarus Delgado

“I’ve only been here for four months and I’ve learned so much”

Before I came to Cambridge College, I had very low self-esteem in my ability to learn and grasp concepts, I’ve only been here for four months and I’ve learned so much- from how to perform an EKG, to the anatomy of the human body, pharmacology, and X-rays, and I have so much more to go. In the beginning of school I struggled so much with my grades and was ready to quit but my teachers here refused to give up on me. They did not stop until I understood every concept. Not many teachers care about students the way these teachers do. I can surely say that I recommend Cambridge College to anyone who wants a career in healthcare.

Eric Abbott

“I wish I started earlier”

I want to thank the entire staff at Cambridge. All of you at Cambridge helped me realize my potential, my intelligence, my capabilities, and so much more I was able to find my true self within. This curriculum works if you work it! I had a top of the line experience with all of you all including my classmates! I believe in myself, something I hadn’t in years because I became complacent. It’s never too late though! Thanks again, for giving me a chance for me to discover that I was capable of a future as well as deserving of a good one too.
