IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Eagle Gate College opened a new campus in Idaho Falls on Wednesday.

The College offers Bachelors and Masters programs in Nursing and Medical Assisting, as well as a Licensed Practical Nurse program, at five campuses in Idaho and Utah.

Although it's been open since September, Wednesday is the grand opening of the nursing school's branch at 1592 E 17th St, Idaho Falls.

The college has a state-of-the-art simulation lab with mannequins. They can simulate heart attacks and strokes, and students can start IVs on them. They can also be programmed to scream, moan, cough, and respond to students when they speak to them.
