Bow Valley College Open House in Calgary TODAY - Oct. 16

Bow Valley College Open House today in Calgary -

I went on a tour of their new facility the other day and was really impressed by their new labs, and especially 2 yr Pharmacy Technician & LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) program.

The 2 yr Pharmacy Technician lab is awesome, and has the sterile lab section as well - this is the program you would take to get a job in the hospital preparing not only meds, but IV's etc...

We got to do some hands-on activities in the lab, the same way a student there would.  Love the hands-on learning activities!
