Pharmacy Technician

I feel that coming to Herzing College was the right thing for me because it allowed me to believe in myself once again. It doesn’t matter who you are as long as you put in 110% everyday when you are in class, you will succeed. The Pharmacy Technician program did exactly that for me. The program taught me how to perform calculations and differentiate between brand and generic names. We learned the skills and duties that a pharmacy technician must have and how the pharmacies need these technicians to assist the Pharmacist to work as a team. My internship taught me how to work in a real retail pharmacy environment, knowing the things you do can make others feel happy and this makes me feel happy. As well, if you know that you made someone’s life a whole lot easier by giving them their medications and knowing that you prepared it.

The program and internship at Herzing College prepared me very well. I gained an excellent reference from my internship and maybe a future job offer! The courses will be applied to any technician job in the workplace and the personal growth gained from school has made me much more aware of my surroundings, more appropriate to different situations and environments.

Internship helped with the hands-on experience to get a feel of everything. I find math, dosage prep and drug names beneficial. The communications class helped in dealing with customers – facial expressions say 1000 words! Internship was a lot of fun and made it exciting to see what I was actually going to be doing. Overall everything prepared me well.

Being able to learn so much in just a short period of time and actually implementing it in the work field has helped me gain so much experience. I feel that going to Herzing College gave me more than what I needed to find a job but also having made a career out of it. With accomplishing so much at such an early stage in my life, I feel that there is a lot more I can do in my future.

My academic program prepared me and gave me the knowledge required to do the everyday tasks that are required of a Pharmacy Technician. I believe that the hands-on experience that we were able to do in the classroom was of great benefit to my internship and my future as a Pharmacy Technician. The knowledge that I had gained from the academic program was of great importance and prepared me for my career. The internship let me use the skills and knowledge I gained from the academic program, and also strengthened and improved them. The internship prepared me and showed me what I can expect to be doing in a retail pharmacy and how to handle any obstacles that may occur in that type of environment.

As a student, I think Herzing College’s academic program really does help us prepare for the future; not only the material that is taught, but the Instructors who teach it. They really do care for their students by encouraging us at all times. This gave us the confidence to succeed. As for the internship, it gives us a glimpse of what to expect for our future.

The Pharmacy Technician program at Herzing College taught me everything that I need to know including compounding, knowledge of most common used drug names to medical terminology. I feel that I’m prepared very well to enter the pharmacy field and I’m not afraid anymore. I know if I want something badly, through hard work, I will achieve it. My Herzing diploma is proof of it!!

It prepared me well. I was a little bit unsure about all of the responsibilities that come along with being a technician but quickly learned that it’s not so bad. On internship, I found that a couple of times, I was helping other technicians with brand and generic names that they had never heard of before and they were unsure of their uses. That made me feel pretty good!!
