Awesome Evening with PT Students and others

Platt College Tulsa Pharmacy Technician Program hosted a number of young students from a variety of local schools last night at 6:30 to 8pm. Seven students from the Explorer group showed up for a little insight into what a pharmacy technician does. With the help of current students Claire, Autumn, and Jackie the students were treated to making our version of Vicks Vaporub and were able to keep it. They then got to watch an excellent demonstration of an I.V. product being made by Claire. She did an excellent job and we could not be more proud. I love this program and I love my students. I believe the pharmacy profession is in great hands because of all of our instructors at all of the Platt Colleges.

We're Back!!!

Yesterday was an incredible day! In addition to the returning students, safe and rested, the Pharmacy Technician Program was blessed with 6 more motivated and enthusiastic students. The day went by so fast that it didn't seem real. The seniors are diving into the making of I.V.'s and doing it with accuracy and finesse. This will be the last block of instruction for Mechelle and Lisa. I think they are anxious to start externship.

We had the opportunity to visit with Richard at his compounding pharmacy and he says he is loving it! Tony got hired at two different pharmacies and will be working full time at a hospital in Tulsa and part time in OKC. Pharmacy technicians are in need all over the U.S.

This Thursday, we will be hosting about a dozen Explorer students. We will be explaining what Pharmacy technicians do and will have them make either hand sanitizer or our version of Vicks Vaporub. Should be a fun evening.
