Why Should You Stack Credentials?
You’ve graduated! Now you may be working in the field you’ve studied, or have difficulty getting a foot in the door. Either way, stacking your certifications in healthcare is a win-win, no matter where you’re at in your career journey.
Let’s cut to the chase. More certifications mean more value. Regardless of their reasons, more and more healthcare professionals are returning to school to level their employability. Don’t think that stacking your credentials simply adds more bullets to your resume. Healthcare workers who are versatile and ready to go the extra mile are always put first in a stack of applications.
Besides distinguishing yourself from your peers, earning more credentials earns you more money because your value has increased!
