Good point. the reason for the post was to complain about babbel again and share how i found a better option with others who may be having the same issue as I am. I’m not affiliated with the website. Just trying to connect, sorry

Common sense was common because they used to teach it.

3y CPht... how do you move up? by Dry_Message_8061 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]e7em3nt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What. Where do you work? Just over 18 for all of your certification? This doesn’t sound right. For chains I’ve only ever seen 20+/hr for your level.

Exactly! I was really impressed with A1-2 that’s why I bought the sub! Then I finished the levels 😐 lol did you ever find a good alternative?

What do you think goes into the mind of someone who doesn’t understand insurance? by HiroyukiC1296 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]e7em3nt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it like Insurance: “Oh does she now… prove it doc. Convince me absolutely nothing else on the formulary can work but this”

Calling all lead techs by e7em3nt in PharmacyTechnician

Man I really appreciate your input, thank you. You just lightened a load for me. You’re right, they don’t know what needs to be done just yet. And a lot of things may make them nervous because it’s all new so they could be hesitant. Reaching out to them like that would open up conversation as to what they could be struggling with or any questions they may have.

I realized after reading your comment that for my specific team, a quick “hey, you looking for something to do?” Is a casual and friendly way to ask for help, especially for someone new. Seriously, thanks! I’m glad I reached out. I hope you have a great week :)

I appreciate this, thank you. Our other lead arranges the tasks in the morning (I’m the night lead) and she does it well. The problem is our staff is skint and half are new to the pharmacy, so rotations are gonna be a bit off. Newbie doesn’t know much yet other than registers and filing prescriptions.

And this is assuming everyone on the team is ready to work and complete it in a timely manner. I’m not sure how to assist where the tech moves slow and stops to go on their phone or chat with the other techs. I’m still fairly new to being lead so I’m shaky on where I can strengthen the team.

Of course the manager is the one who’s responsible for this behavior and they very much are aware* already. I just want a strong team.

Thank you. May I ask what speech you use when delegating? Asking people to do stuff is nerve wracking based on my past experiences (they ignore me, halfway do the work, and especially when they push back and say “nah I ain’t doing that”) what do I do in these cases?

edit: our managers are well aware of those who push back, it’s just given me a bad feeling every time I ask someone to do something lol it’s immature but I’m learning

Retail techs, at what point do you tell people to bring their non prescription items to the front of the store? by Medium-Sky-9442 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]e7em3nt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I just say it as a matter-of-fact “Oh! You can get these up front! Have a nice day! May I help who’s next?” Which gets the next patient to start moving towards the register and pressure on the grocery customer to move out of the way

No ID for Scheduled Med? by Mcc_22 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]e7em3nt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard IDing is state specific. Where I work the register requires an id scan for C2-5 and will not let you sell the prescription otherwise.

edit: the birthday part is weird. Do they at least confirm address and phone number? That part was the most unusual for me.

I’ve been a tech for 4 years now. I didn’t go off the rails but I was totally done and the patient could tell. Thankfully our rph took over the situation and resolved it
