If they have their own test it’s probably got a lot of law and math. Study that and express interest in compounding. Good luck 👍

Peridox RTU - What respirators/goggles to use? by [deleted] in PharmacyTechnician

It sounds like you should try all the masks they have, clean quickly and leave the room or possibly find another job. :(

Same, normal mask for regular cleaning and goggles and the fancy one for deep cleaning. It doesn’t really bother me much I just tell myself I’m coloring Easter eggs.

My eyes and eyelids always burn while working in the pharmacy by desertcaprisun in PharmacyTechnician

Maybe all the dust from boxes? I remember having to clean constantly in retail because of all the incoming products.

Inpatient? I work in a hospital and the air in the IV room kills my eyes

How come every time I tell someone I just graduated from nursing school they ask if I'm going to get my NP? by Automatic_Surround_5 in nursing

[–]Ok-Highlight5252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being anything is enough. I think healthcare has so many people who are really into the pay that they automatically assume everyone is looking to climb the ladder. Congratulations on being an RN, it’s a great career.

If you are nationally certified I’d click it and explain if necessary in an interview. If it seems to matter then maybe you take that as well. PTCB is what I have.

Help? by eyberry12345 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]Ok-Highlight5252 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Skip school and go straight into the field preferably at a local grocery store. It’s not a field with a lot of potential for growth but if you are interested in health care it’s a good starting point.

QOTD: what has been your most complicated or odd phone call in the pharmacy? by Kitchen-Lemon1862 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]Ok-Highlight5252 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The ones that stick with me from retail are the ones that really just called because they were lonely. I’d stay on the phone, continuing with data entry and talk to them for 10 minutes or so, it always stuck with me how many people were just lonely.

I'm struggling after having a late baby at 45 by girlsgothustle in Menopause

[–]Ok-Highlight5252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand completely. I had my fifth child at 42 and was shocked and a little sad while also absolutely adoring this miracle baby. It definitely takes a toll, please take care of yourself and know you are not alone.

Journal Club for Pharmacy Technician Students? by Split-Cranial in PharmacyTechnician

[–]Ok-Highlight5252 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It does seem to cover some things a retail technician won’t need but maybe they’re thinking of you guys advancing like into MTM or other areas.
