What is Sleep Apnea? Let's Talk to a Sleep Educator

Ever wonder what it takes to become a sleep technologist? Things have changed since the days of on the job training. This week, the STT crew talk to Jordan Rusk, BS RPSGT CCSH, Associate Professor at Lone Star College in Houston, TX.

Jordan is the program director of the polysomnography program at Lone Star College. Jordan has a passion for teaching and tells us about her journey from becoming a professional dancer to healthcare and ultimately sleep medicine and sleep technology.
