Student Success Stories
Hear how Northwest Suburban College helped students achieve their career goals.
I’m so lucky to be a student and nurse. The staff are so friendly and joyful. I learned so much in my 32 weeks, new medical advances. This is the best in the pharmacy field, and I want to learn more.
This college has played a crucial role in shaping my career. I came here from my home country with big dreams and aspirations, and I achieved everything that I thought of thanks to my teachers and this college.
My experience was totally positive. The staff were incredibly helpful and supportive.
Northwest Suburban College is a career college providing the needed education and skills to secure a job and build a career. It is a great path into the medical field. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to receive institutional aid from the school. This was a difference maker for me in being able to quickly start my path to a new career.
As long as you are willing to put in the work, this program will set you up for success. The school, the administration, and all staff were extremely professional and helpful at all times.
Throughout the program, I was given the essential tools to be successful in my future career as a medical assistant. My instructor, Ms. Delilah Figueroa always pushed her students to be the best they can be. There were several resources handed to me in order to achieve my diploma. After graduating in April, I received 2 new job offers.
In my experience at Northwest Suburban College, the Pharmacy Technician track focuses on education, knowing the names of common drugs, their purposes, and potential drug interactions. There are also practical labs, teaching how to use common pharmacy software, mixing drugs, or simply familiarizing oneself with where information is written on a bottle, such as NDC. The course is broad, which allows students to understand the general and underlying works of pharmacy, which are relevant for all pharmacies, and opens the door for more specificity later on. I have definitely benefited from this, both in my technician externship, and in my pharmacy technician role.
My experience at this college really was life changing. I started this program because I always wanted to work as a Medical Assistant, and at NWSC they helped me along the process of making this dream real. The instructors are so helpful and I couldn’t have done it without my teacher Ms. D. I 100% recommend anybody who wants to start as a MA to give this college some interest.
