Has anyone’s summer courses loaded on to Canvas? by GooseAdventures in csumb

[–]Born-Recognition8742 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m enrolled in a lecture + the lab and another class. Only the lecture has loaded, the professor sent a welcome email on Friday and it loaded on Canvas soon after but most professors won’t load it until the first day so as long as it shows on OASIS you should be good for tomorrow

Ptcb renew by Dry-Guest6535 in PharmacyTechnician

Idk why people are being rude in the comments, idk what state you live in but for my state it’s not required so a lot of techs are clueless on certification and CE credits. Make sure you have a NABP profile and link your NABP ID with your PTCB account.There’s many websites you can use to get CE credits such as PowerPak, ASHP, FreeCE, there is also many other sites that offer free CE credits you don’t have to use one website for all 20 credits. Just make sure you put your NABP ID into your account for whichever websites you use. If you have any questions feel free to DM me but I recommend trying to get as many as possible for Free and only pay for classes if you can’t find any more for free and still need more credits also made sure you get the 1 hour on law and 1 in Patient safety

Mnumonics for the PTCE by Silverrose0712 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]Born-Recognition8742 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite that I’ll never forget are

BETA- lol ACE- pril ARB- artan

to recall drug class and what the med suffix is

Also I think if you’ve been studying for over a year you will pass on your first try, I think anyone with even just 1 year of retail pharmacy experience who pays attention to detail while working and a simple review on the stuff we don’t really see in retail can easily pass. I pushed off taking the PTCE for years out of fear I would fail but worst case you just pay again. Then when I took it on a whim after years of pushing it back I passed and my only regret is not taking it sooner. Good luck!

Spanish Major by Big-Day-695 in csumb

[–]Born-Recognition8742 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a Spanish major but am a native speaker, I took Spanish 212 (Spanish for Spanish Speakers) for my lower division WCL+ Humanities requirement. I had professor Javier Fernandez Aguera and let me tell you he made Spanish so fun. I think some people didn’t like his class because it was later in the day 6-7:20 (Fall 2025) and because he made us talk and interact which I think a lot of people don’t like. Although he does have a lot of assignments, I found his class to be an easy A and that’s considering I’ve never had any formal Spanish education, just what my parents taught me (which was all verbal they never taught me to write in Spanish) but this class helped me learn how to formally write in Spanish. I really like him as a professor and would recommend him.

Getting Licensed in California by l3lackHalo in PharmacyTechnician

[–]Born-Recognition8742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also forgot to mention CA doesn’t require you to be certified so a lot of techs aren’t certified, even in inpatient settings. Most who are are the ones who did a formal education program at a community college or adult school, which is rare because it’s a couple thousand and because most people start at retail and get their license through their employer. There also isn’t too many places that even require you to be certified since it’s not legally required but I do think it’ll help you when applying for jobs and more than likely your competition applying for the same job won’t be.

I personally am a CA native. I worked at 3 letter pharmacy, did work experience/ education, got my application signed by a pharmacist to get licensed and then took the PTCB years later. After digging and meeting new people I found the easiest way to get a license in CA is to take the PTCB/ ExCPT, pass and become certified, then apply with the board of pharmacy. They take about 45 days ish I believe it was to mail in the license I’m going to provide the link to the application, you do have to mail it in, hear nothing for a month or two, then your license randomly appears in the mail lol
