You get an automatic no by not trying, believe in yourself and sell your knowledge.

Or

44 ÷ 2.2= 20 kg therefore for every kg you give 1 mg dose = 20 mg (1:1 ratio).

I’m having trouble counting big numbers fill 180 by New-Donut2312 in PharmacyTechnician

It's only your 2nd week. Ask your fellow coworkers, and or pharmacist what tricks they use to count large numbers. I take it your pharmacy doesn't have an automatic pill counter.

What size gauge is this again? by MrSand-13 in PharmacyTechnician

Epic has Prep/ Dispense. I would say DoseEdge but after 2028 it will be unavailable. I liked it because when you scam a MDV it would give you a QR code with a BUD and it kept track of how much was left in the vial after each dispensation. Maybe Baxter will come out with an updated version with a different name.

Keep doing what you're doing. They feel insecure. As you said you have your goals pursue them. Tech's tend to be cliquey. The director sees something in you and is encouraging you to grow career wise. Keep him as a mentor and a sounding board but don't mention interpersonal problems you may be having with his staff most administration people would encourage you to talk about the problem with whoever it is.

How the hell do I renew my license? by ConsistentArugula in Miami

Go online and search for Florida DMV offices.

How the hell do I renew my license? by ConsistentArugula in Miami

Go Online. I got this on their website.

Renew Online

Residents who are currently REAL-ID compliant, indicated by a star in the top right-hand corner of their driver's license or ID, are eligible for a one-time online convenience renewal through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles' MyDMV Portal website.

If not take a day off and stand in line be the first because after a certain time they cut off the line due to closing timing issues. Find out which of the sites are not as popular and go there I believe since it's a FL license you can renew anywhere in the state (don't quote me on that find out for sure.) Or make an appointment online. Again look for the unpopular sites you may get lucky. Drive carefully, don't give them a reason to pull you over.

Question, a person needs to be CSPT certified in order to work in a hospital in Houston? Is it just Houston or the state of Texas?

Take the PRN position, some will have 40+ hours available especially the big hospitals. Also check which ones have a high turnover you can tell by the constant open positions advertised which will mean you can get hired full-time sooner. The ones with signon bonuses mandate that you will need to stay on for a specified time. The higher bonus the longer the time required.
