How do readied actions work?
The ready action allows you to react to a specific, “perceivable circumstance.” To do so, you can take the Ready action on your turn so that you can act later in the round using your reaction.

Is Healing Word a bonus action?

Can you take the ready action on your turn?
Yes, you can. It is an action just like any other, and is taken on your turn. Secondly when the trigger goes off do you have to wait for your turn or do you in effect get a bonus turn? It’s a reaction, and happens immediately. It’s not another turn, nor do you have to wait. It happens when the trigger, well, triggers it.
