I started being a pharmacy technician with just my license in April 21, 2021. It was very new, and I was initially overwhelmed with how much there was to learn, but was also eager for the challenge. I buckled down and as of January 15, 2022, I passed my PTCE exam on my FIRST try. To God be the glory, but I also would like to thank YOU for your countless videos that have helped me; particularly your series of 1-200 drugs. I also would like to mentor other aspiring pharmacy technicians in my community and give back the way you have decided to give back. Blessings and happy new year❤️
Congratulations on passing your PTCE exam! And definitely if you can become an instructor, just know it is very rewarding.

Question: 20 mg active ingredient in 200 mL normal saline. What is the weight/volume concentration? HINT: Be sure to convert 20 mg into grams.
I’m confused to solve it
Just wanted to say because I rewatch your videos to really let it sink in. I actually like the longer videos or when you throw in your side commentary😂😂😂 it just shows you have personality. I do watch other pharmacy technician videos but after awhile they do make me sleepy because of how monotone they are. Just dropping a side bar, cause some of us enjoy it
Thank you so much for that! I really enjoy you guys comments 🥰
You don't know how happy I am to see you back on my youtube feed😭 ❤ yasss

Omg!! Thank you so much 😭😭❤️
@@PharmacyTechLove you’re welcome Thank you for texting me back and helping me and May God bless you for that 🙏🏾🙏🏾🤎
This is a lesson that can be applied in situations where you need to figure out a number going up or down by 10s.
A number multiplied, or divided by 10, will shift it's decimal place by 1 to the right, or left, respectively. The same will happen if you're multiplying or dividing but with 100, now moving the decimal by 2. The number of zeroes determines how many times you shift the decimal.
1.2 ⨯ 10 = 12.0 | 1.2 / 10 = 0.12
1.2 ⨯ 100 = 120.0 | 1.2 / 100 = 0.012
1.2 ⨯ 1,000 = 1200.0 | 1.2 / 1,000 = 0.0012
The thing you need to keep in mind for metric units of measurement is that you have to multiply or divide by 1,000 at each stage of conversion. mcg to kg isn't dividing by 3,000, it's dividing by 1,000 three separate times. In simpler terms, going up or down in one unit of measurement is shifting three decimal places.
1,000 mcg / 3,000 ≠ 0.000001 kg
1,000.0 mcg / 1,000 = 1.0 mg / 1,000 = 0.001 g / 1,000 = 0.000001 kg
Alternatively
1,000.0 mcg / 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) = 0.000001 kg | Shifting the decimal 9 places to the left.
Thanks for that.
Thank you so muchhhhhhh I really wanna pass my test
You’re so welcome!! You’ll pass, just keep studying 📚
@@PharmacyTechLove can you do the conversion measurements reguarding like cups pints gallons liters etc
omgosh thankyou you made it so much easier than the book!
I’m glad I could help❤️
Great to see you back ❤️ Thanks for your helpful videos. Looking forward to more.
Thank you! Good to see you.
Taking the pharmacy technician class and NEW to EVERYTHING. I come to your videos for help guidance. What do you recommend??? I feel like I'm everywhere 😔
You just let me know what you’re struggling in and I’ll make a video for you. You can always email me as well ❤️
Yeah I've been out of high school since 1993 then haven't done third grade math since mid 1980's
Exactly! I try to give a refresher if I can. We tend to forget those things, especially if we don’t use them on a regular basis.
You are amazing thank you so much. I hope I can pass my exam now for pharmacy technician. You made it so much easier than what my book says. Thank you ❤
You’re so welcome 😉
Thank you
You’re welcome, new videos are uploading now.
Thank you so much for your efforts.
Are you welcome! Thanks for watching.
Also I would really appreciate if you can do a review on drops per minute I have a little trouble with that.
I’ll make a note of that right now.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for explaining this very clearly and as simple as possible! How would I convert from gm to mcg (or going two steps down instead of just one step down)?
I don’t tutor through the comments.
Thank you so muchhh 🙏🏼❤️
You’re welcome ☺️ Feel free to let me know how I can help.
hi is that tech program still available you mentioned in other videos? I am new to your channel, I am pharmacy assistant wanting to be certified ! I was watching your med brand/generic videos. really helpful by the way !
I’m sure it is still available, I’m just no longer affiliated with the company. You can definitely go to their CZcams channel. “Pharmacy Tech Lessons”
Hey! I had a query in my mind . Is ptcb valid for Canada too or we have to go for pebc exam?
Yes! I just looked it up.
Step 1: Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) Document Evaluation.
Thank you
You’re welcome 😇
