I'm glad you mentioned criticism vs constructive criticism. A lot of folks don't know the difference. Then you have techs that try to act like they run the pharmacy and forget that the Pharmacist runs the pharmacy...
You are absolutely correct!!
Also, POOR TRAINING is a big concern in the pharmacy area. I remember doing my externship, and one of the pharmacy technicians's training technique's was horrible. I also, had asked to let me do some hands on training with the computer so I could get more indept into learning how their computer system work. Never showed me, that was a really big disappointment. Basically, I had taken the knowledge that I had learned from school, and self trained myself. And it's one thing I said when I apply for my job, "Lord, please put me around some positive, caring, helpful, dedicated, and team working people." I feel that you can get a lot more accomplish. Because, the number one goal is taking care of the patients.
All of this is true👏🏾👏🏾
All I’m doing right now is watching videos I’m really worried that I’m not gonna remember anything when I start on the job I wish the had hands on training to I’m really worried :(
@@efratamonks8006 I've started on my continuing education courses, and I keep going over my old material that I learned in school. Trust me, I'm a little nervous too but I know the good lord above will lead and guide me. So, walk by faith and not by sight, Efrata and everything will be alright. I will also keep you motivated.
I enjoy your videos. I’ve been in retail pharmacy for 7 years. Six years was with a drive thru. I transferred to a CVS inside Target a few months ago( no drive thru) and find myself feeling so much less stress 😊
That’s wonderful ❤️💊
I used to work for CVS in Target too! Actually I worked for Target Pharmacy before it was bought out by CVS.
Yeah, I heard about that. I had a coworker that worked at Target and told me the sane thing.
@@PharmacyTechLove I loved working for Target Pharmacy. Their bottles were awesome! Their processing system was old as dirt, although they did upgrade about a year before CVS took over; one last try to save their pharmacy. Target did have their own reward card and pushed flu shots, but nothing like CVS. They are relentless! O_o

I HATE MY JOB AT WALGREENS.. TO MANY FAVORITISM.. FEET BE HURTIN & THEY TALK SHIT BOUT U.. WHEN IM WORKIN.. I SWEA I HAVE ANXIETY CUS ION KNOW SHIT
I understand, when it’s like that you have to speak up. Use your voice to make your job bearable. Talk to your store manager about those issues and let him/her know that you want to be anonymous. Let me know how things work out.
I just love this. I recently got hired as pharmacy tech and it’s my first experience ever, being a pharmacy tech. I have been watching your videos and tbh your videos boost my confidence up. Go girl!!!!!! You are a gem💯
Aww that’s so sweet of you to say! Comments like this help me to keep pushing forward ❤️
yess . life is taught ✨✨ whether directly or indirectly .
I have been watching your videos even subscribe to you and watch other women of color do this type of job in healthcare. It really excites me to finally know what to do. I didn’t know what I want to do psych and criminal justice wasn’t me. I wish I had known about pharm tech about 5 years ago when I graduated from HS or wasted a year of psychology major. This seems more like me than other paths. I have been doing my research for pharmacy technician and which school to go with. Thank you for these videos and inspiration!! ❤️
You are very welcome ❤️
Great information! Very informative. I took the PT class in 2008 but never worked as one.. but it was good hearing what you all experience in the field. See you in the next video! 💋
❤️

I'm retail pharmacy tech and I am either at the window/cashier or bagging scripts. According to my PTU I'm "off track" (Cause I ain't doing it, but when I do, I hear the ding dong from the drive through :'D)
😄💕
They should be a video on why pharmacy techs couldn't find work. I was a pharmacy tech for years and tried putting in employment. I was overlook by not having experience. Some pharmacies does discriminate. I even had a pharmacist told me to my face that it was hard for young black women to get a pharmacy tech job. I had work call centers, when economy was worst. I'm not renewing my ptcb this year. 10 years of ptcb and no job. I paid $750 at pharmacy tech school because it was required in Virginia.
Good morning 🌞 I’ve never had trouble finding a job.
@@PharmacyTechLove Depends on the area. Virginia was picky on hiring wants people to volunteer or intern. Out of state maybe different
I worked in the pharmacy as a tech for 3 months. And I didn’t get any good training because CVS was so busy🤷🏾♀️
I was stuck at the drive thru most of the time ‼️
I’ve been there before, it’s not a good feeling.
Any tips to get rid of my trauma from working with a pharmacist that had no patience with me as a pharmacy tech trainee. All I had to do was fill but I always had a problem when we needed a manufacturer change because she said check with her before doing anything. I wanted to learn new things but she just saw me as a high school student and only let me fill. I basically felt that the environment was toxic as she would yell at her other techs also and I believe one moved because I saw him at a different Wallgreens. I am certified now but am too traumatized to go and work for one.
Ohhh no! I’m so sorry 😭😭 I’ve been there before. I’ve learned from experience that when ppl put you in those awkward situations, especially being your superior you still have to stand up for yourself. Don’t let that get you down, remember it’s just a job. It really saddens me to hear that.
Thank you ❤❤❤❤
You’re so welcome 😉
No, you do walk a lot in retail Pharmacy. My feet hurt every time I leave work. If you are working in a Pharmacy..comfortable shoes are must!!! Being a tech is alot of work no matter where you work.
It’s a lot of work on both ends of the spectrum. In retail you’re in a confined area, in the hospital setting your not which means ALOT more walking.
So yeah would agree with being paid what you deserve and distance. But yeah biggest thing for me is proper training. Always hate getting in trouble for things I was never taught. Not sure how it’s my fault i do not know something if you are the ones that are supposed to be teaching me and I Healy am just figuring stuff as I go. But yep team player definitely. Hate it when some people are quick to just leave and I am like but we still have all this to do.
That’s right!
Informative videos and perspective. Please give me your insight on the actual Math used by PharmaTechs. My current program is intense on Calculations. What is your opinion on what I should focus on; what will I actually use or need for my Certification Exam? Many thanks! Barb.
I’ll be doing a video on that very soon. It’s actually really easy the way I break it down. A lot of ppl are afraid of the math, don’t be 🤷🏽♀️

I'm leaving the pharm tech life after 12 years and becoming an elementary teacher. I just took a 3rd grade position. My last day is July 30th and I'm super excited. It was fun, but my time has run is course.
Omgggg!! That is so amazing 🤩 Congratulations to you, I wish you all the best❤️
@@PharmacyTechLove thank you. Best of luck to you and yours.
I’m in SC and I have been considering going to school to become a Pharmacy Technician. I spoke with the Program Director at the local community college and he told me the most he ever made was $40,000 and that was after having worked for 15 years. I question the cost-benefit in changing careers to support my family only making that amount. It would be worth it making that amount starting but having to work all those years and only make that amount is disheartening. Any advice or things to consider? The program is only 2 semesters long also, so it’s a quick program, so there is that.
It’s all about budgeting. Just think if you and your wife were Pharmacy Techs, that’s $80,000 per year. And remember don’t stop at being just a pharmacy tech. You can achieve other certifications as a pharmacy tech. Me myself I’ve always worked 2 jobs🤷🏽♀️ Unless your prepared to go to school to get a masters or doctorate degree, I think Pharmacy Techs makes pretty decent pay. You can also tutor someone, teach family members and teach at a local college from having your certification. Be open to where it can take you.
PharmacyTechLove Thank you for responding and I appreciate you giving me your prospective .

Get with the right pharmacy they will pay you to be trained.
Take a look at jobs that actually need more people: HVAC, electricians, plumbers, and brick layers. Look into getting an apprenticeship. Or look into University of the People, a school that is actually interested in helping their students succeed and providing a quality education for a low cost. If you do decide to go for pharmacy tech anyway, don't go for any of the NPTA certifications. I've known people who did their compounding certification several years ago. The course material and quizzes were online. After you finished those, you completed three days of "hand on training" in Houston. The technicians who were already trained in compounding said the only benefit they got was the "certificate" to give to their employer. The untrained technicians didn't benefit at all. Three days of rushed, hands on training is not enough to learn compounding (note: the amount of time each day was short). It's a waste of money. The program only benefits the people profiting off of the students. You have to train in the same environment you're going to work in, which is why a lot of these online programs make no sense. With mastering new skills students need plenty of practice, feedback while they learn, and support from mentors.
Crazy I’m having the same trouble trying to apply for unemployment. It keeps telling me my password is wrong. Hope you get through....if you do let me know 👍🏼👍🏼 Starting @ CVS soon 🙏🏽
I finally did get through, I had to go through some other channels. Good luck at CVS!!😊If you don’t like it use the time you’re there to gain experience and start applying elsewhere. I’m sure you’ll be a great asset.
Glad you got through !! Great idea 👍🏼 will do 🥰

Well, it’s no longer that easy in 2020. Things have definitely changed, now in 2020 you have to either work inside of a pharmacy for 500 hours or you have to go to an accredited school in order to take the exam. I do offer a program through an accredited school that has a 95% pass rate.

hello I recently passed my certification test , I was wondering what steps you took to get into the hospital?
No steps, just apply.
Watch "Despite rising salaries, the skilled-labor shortage is getting worse" by PBS Newshour on youtube! There are job fields that actually need more people and will pay a living wage.
Can you do a video on the ptce exam 2020
I can definitely find some example questions for you guys and let you know what’s expected.
You forgot to say pharmacist being rude. Lol
Some!
Hey! How long did it take for you to obtain the certification?
Ohh my, I think that’s been 12 years ago I really can’t remember.
If I took a guess, I would say 6 months

why did your hours get cut thought this was kinda exempt from that?
It was due to Covid. I’m not really sure why our hours got cut when I was at the hospital because we still had patients coming in.
@@PharmacyTechLove thats odd thank you.
We all thought it was odd!
Because they are underpaid....and ppl can get a job without education getting paid more
There are a lot of jobs that pay well without a degree!! I’ve always suggested to anyone to get a trade.
Great informative video, let's be CZcams friends!

Can pharmacy technician be a career can i pay my bills from this work
Definitely!!!
The pay is low in retail. In a hospital you make more.
I also keep reading that Costco pays great for pharmacy techs
Because it's a terrible job and that's it lol
Lol 😂 It’s what you make it friend🤷🏽♀️
@@PharmacyTechLove Please don't gas-light me. There is a reason why turnover rates are so high in most retail chain pharmacies. Pharmacy techs are overworked and underpaid. and most pharmacies are under-staffed which means pharmacy staff have to do the work of multiple people which leads to burn-out.
It could be a good job, if most retail pharmacies didn't put profit over patient safety and worker's rights but that's capitalism for you.
