the 1 to 2 pharmacist ratio is a general rule, but many states have some changes like NJ where its 1 to 3 if there is one certified technician, so look it up in your own states too.
I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than her studies after writing the PTCB exam last month she passed and i failed😢, i asked her how she did it, just found out she got help from Mrs Virginia
i love this stuff. these systems try to ensure that the final step ina patient's care is done nicely and properly every time, no different than a surgeon's scalpel or the anesthesiologist's duties etc
@@AskYourPharmacistsidra it must be 5 as u said there is 2 technicians for 1 additional pharmacist so for 1 pharmacist there is 1 technician and for 2 pharmacist there are 3 technicians so obviously for 3 pharmacist there are 5 technicians
I didn't get it when you say that one pharmacist has one technician and two have three technicians. In pharmacy there are at least two point of sales, two or three production points, a drive thru and a COVID-19 testing point. So how many technicians should be there. Please also suggest a good book to prepare for certification exam.
Most of the time people can't read doctor's hand writing because prescription is written using sig codes/ medical abbreviations. If you work in medical field then you must have full command on the medical abbreviations. once you see them over and over, it'll be very easy for you to read and understand prescription. I've a video on abbreviations on this channel and I will be posting an updated video on medical abbreviations on my other channel soon, you can check that out.

Find somewhere like cvs or Walmart that will hire you as a tech in training. It’s free and they will reimburse you for paying for your own license they will also reimburse you for getting certified, which they give u 6mths to a year to receive. Other than that you’ll have to pay out of pocket to attend a program which is not worth it in my opinion. Try getting it for free first!!! I work for Walmart and we’ve hired 3 techs in training over the last year. You should try looking online for your local Walmart and apply. CVS does it too but it’s a bit more difficult to get hired 🤞🏾🤞🏾🥰
@@neicywitthagoodz6370 hi, is a tech in training like an externship where you don’t get paid? Also, if I were to have completed my pharm tech program through a school, but have zero experience, would Walmart still hire someone who’s certified but has no real world experience? Thank you so much.
Thank you for the concern. I do have a small lump in neck which formed out of no where. I got it checked, had biopsy and x rays done, its harmless and does not hurt or bother me at all.

I understand being a pharmacy tech is not easy and is not for everyone. But those who can meet the challenges it is quiet rewarding. Some chain pharmacies are offering starting wage of $19/hr and max can go up to $28 which is quiet amazing. Also other opportunities like moving up in the management roles of Pharmacy manager assistant, store manager, district manager, etc.
In Missouri they start off at $11 They push you into advancement and getting certified for multiple things so they can use their techs as trophies and the ones that don’t advance just end up quitting from stress or being fired, passed my test and definitely plan on getting out of Walgreens

The PTCB exam is very difficult to pass, I can't believe i failed after studying with so many materials😞
Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success
@ very correct
I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than her studies after writing the PTCB exam last month she passed and i failed😢, i asked her how she did it, just found out she got help from Mrs Virginia
Wow so sorry you failed, i have heard so much about Virginia but I don't actually have her info
Scammers now pretend to help you pass and the end up taking your hard earned money, Virginia is a sure help but very difficult to get her info
I love how positive your demeanor is! And you make everything really simple. Sharing this w/ my team! :)
appreciate your feedback and support. :)
Thanks! I've been looking for tutorials like this. Will be taking my test next week :)
Best of luck!

My work has up to 4 technicians per each pharmacist. I can't imagine our retail pharmacy running off of one tech and one pharmacist.
ikr? i was like where does she work at ? lol. My store does over 600 scripts a day, that math simply would not work lol
Hopefully a board inspector does not stop by and fine you guys for not following pharmacist to tech ratio.
@@stevehernandez4387 I think the law differs from state to state, she was only going over federal law
I work at cvs and we have one tech all the time

What if , someone wants to open his/her own Pharmacy...
laws remain the same. You will need to get license for the pharmacy. On estimate, you'll need between $350-450K to start your pharmacy.
great video and helpful.
