What is the salary of Pharmacy technician in Canada 🇨🇦 ...
please Reply ma'm . ?
@@bekind211 I'm sorry, but I wouldn't know anything about Canada and their salaries. My experience is only with Colorado and the US for the most part 😔
@@narayanchaudhari4876 If your based in America, I would say yes, however I bet there are pharmacy techs everywhere so it depends on where you live. I hope that helps.
@@GraceLien Don't mind me asking ...
So, How much Pharmacist, Pharmacist technician & Pharmacy assistant get paid there in monthly basis?
Please reply 🙏
I start a pharmacy tech program really soon and I’m really nervous but watching this made me feel a bit more comfortable about what I’ll end up doing so thank you.
how you do you like the program?let me tell you something if you are a person that can easily get stressed dont work in community pharmacy specially with covid is crazy stressful i used to work in community for almost 2 years but this year i decided to work in the hospital and it work well.hospital is super better than community not even close
Same 😁
Thank you for sharing this, hopefully you can make more in the future
I’m really interested in this career and it’s been helpful seeing the “come to work with me” videos. I can get a glimpse of what I may be doing in the future.
I love watching vids like this. I’m going to school for pharmacy tech. The schoolwork is hard but I look forward to graduation by watching videos like yours. Class of April 2022. So thank you for all your work that you do. 😌
Thank you so much for watching and enjoying! I too really like this job although I do hope to become a nurse in the future! Keep going you got this! 😊
I hoped you passed and did well
If you like counting, or production, making IVs will be really fun.
I really want to do pharmacy tech but I've always been bad with math and I'm worried about doing it cause I know math is really important so I need to work on my math skills more
In Texas we have Kroger which is the same as this store because I use to wear that same blue cover. I don’t work there any more now they can wear scrubs.
I took my test literally when my Two years was up. I passed. My test had a lot of law questions and what I felt was pharmacist questions like logging c2. We didn’t do that at my job so I winged those questions. The practice test helped a lot as well. I took a lot of free ones and when it was nearly time to schedule my ptcb I paid for a few just to see what the difference was. I didn’t notice any lol.
Now it’s been 9 years and I recently just had to renew my ptcb and my state. I don’t practice currently but I keep my certification and license in good standing.
That's amazing! My test was hospital heavy but I'm happy I passed and got it over with. I'm not sure when, but I know Kroger bought King Soopers a while ago too.
hello! I'm looking for a video about a pharmacy technician routine and I love it. I thinking about what courses should I do when I move to Canada and you definitively helped me a lot. ❤
But I have some questions:
1- I'm deaf and I cannot talk on phone so I'm not able to be a pharmacy technician ?
2- If have I a hearing dog he/she is able for stay in a pharmacy?
3- At a phamarcy technician course is there many mathematics,chemistry and physics?
Thank you for read my comment. :)
Thanks for doing this. #youreahero
If I choose this field of study my reason for me is to learn new job skills.
Are all the medication on the shelf in alphabetical order?
10 year pharmacy tech here i used to work at a long-term care pharmacy i love filling meds in a bubblepack or blisterpack its a great job but it also hectic because you have deadline to finish it all up
How do you even find the meds your looking for on the shelves with all those bottles.
Hi Grace! Thanks for filming this. I am in the process of getting my license to so I can be a pharmacy tech after a very long time as a stay at home mom. Needless to say I am petrified but your video helped me calm down a little :) I have had no training whatsoever besides dealing with insurance companies, dr's offices and prescriptions in my own life and with my family so I'm a little nervous to hit the ground running. I have a question: When you are filling those scripts, do you have to translate the dr's order and do the math for the amount needed? Also, do you have any advice for me on things I could be doing while I wait for my licensure to come through that would help me prepare? Thanks again for your video!
Thank you so much! I'm glad my video helped you feel better about being a pharmacy tech! As for calculating you do have to calculate day supply when doing data for instance. But you do that before you fill the prescription. Luckily a lot of that is 30, 60, or 90 days cause insurance can be specific and that's approximately a month depending on which month you're in. As for things to do, I'm not yet certified but going though drugs, brand, and indications have always helped me. 😀
@@GraceLien hlo dear i am comming next year in Nz for doing this pharma technician cource .i complete my B pharma but still i am nervous 😶can you pls suggest me that only English language is used or other ???? Else nd also tell me that indian B pharma degree is valid in NZ or not ? Because i m coming with my hubby🥰
Teresa, did you end up going through with beginning as a pharmacy tech retail and taking the PT exam? Did you pass? I am in THE SAME POSITION as you and SO nervous about working as a tech, if I made the right choice and math for amount needed etc. Can you fill me in?
Pro tip, work for a private pharmacy, or a good company..or a slow pharmacy, cause it ain’t fun when you push out 500-600 scripts a day while dealing with a crazy drive through, loads of vaccines and people complaining about waiting for just 10 minutes to 20 minutes….also for the love of god, mark your open bottles and peel the whole aluminum off with your spatula
Omg that is so true! I lowkey sold my soul to kroger in order to get college reimbursements. But now I regret it so much! 😭
you straight-up look like Paddington bear... especially when you were eating that sandwich...almost 100% likeness...😆👍
Hello can I what kind of resources did you use for technician exam?
About How many scripts per day does your pharmacy fill? I know this vid is a snippet of your day but by the way you label & count, it can’t be that busy lol. I work at a supermarket pharmacy and there’s no way I can be chill like that!! Great video btw!
So the day I filmed this was pretty tame and yeah, were not really busy. On normal days we usually have 1 pharmacist and 3 techs, so yeah. I don't think I would be able to film if we were slammed anyway.
Please tell me
What the difference between a pharmacy technician and pharmacy assistant??
the way u put the label on is so cute lmfaooo
Omg 😭! My pharmacist got mad because some of my labels were crooked so I started doing that so I could get it more even.
@@GraceLien 😂 lol! girl wtf, slap 👋🏼 that label on and go on about your day😩
I know! She used to get mad at bubbles, crookedness, and the most random things. Most people don't even look at the label in the first place! 😂

My d pharmaa completely so then how I cann apply jobss???
Hi, can i ask what pharmacy you are working at? I am planning to look into pharm tech jobs in California but they all are asking for PTCB / tech license except CVS. Can i start without license and certification as a tech?
I work for a Colorado King Sooper so the laws in Colorado may be different. I had to get my liscence with a year of my provisional but I'm not sure about other states.
Would you say you use a lot of math on a day to day basis? If yes, what common math do you do?
There is a lot of basic arithmetic calculating day and month supplies. But it's pretty easy like 2 times a day or take 3 tabd everyday. I find it pretty easy but if multiplication or fractions confuse, then definitely brush up.
Hello, I'm an international student preparing for the pharmacy technician program. I'm just asking you politely, and never intend to ask any kind of personal info, but where is the country that you're staying? The reason I'm asking you this is because I'm searching about pharm techs in Ontario, Canada, but lots of video clips on youtube, mostly, are from the United States.. So I was curious where you're filming the clips at the moment:) Thanks!
I am in the US. So sadly I can't tell you much about Canada's programs or Healthcare systems.
@@GraceLien Thank you so much for your reply! Good luck on everything you do:)
Hey girly , is it true that being a pharmacy tech is so stressful and you deal with a lot of rude customers ? I’m tryin to decide between pharmacy tech and phlebotomist 🤷🏻♀️😒
are the caps flipped upside down so the pharmacist can check them?
Yep, my pharmacist liked this system so they kept what they verieified and they needed to verify in order.
hi Grace. What are you usually dealing with the insurance? Can you share please?
Yes? I deal with a lot of insurance related issues from billing and adjudication to using discount cards with insurance and coordination of benefits. Sometimes insurances only cover brand vs. generic or they may only fill for 30 days. Difficult insurance things may require a prior authorization where the doctor has to explain why a patient is on a certain med while other may be COB billing failures. I honestly hat this part of my job, but I definitely have seen many insurances related situations. Every year plans may also change from price, day supply acceptance, meds covered, deductibles, and copays for instance as well.
I have the same book and I too am studying while working as a pharmacy tech can you post videos of what your learning about? I have a hard time studying…
I would love too! I took a couple of summer classes that started after I started my PTCB studying so as soon as I finish my classes I will look into making a studying video of sorts!
@@GraceLien did you make that video yet?
@@catycoug623 Omg, I'm so sorry. No I haven't, I honestly gave up on this channel a bit. I was disuaded a lot by peers from continuing youtube so I actually haven't even thought about making more videos.
Hello, I'm confused how are you working as a pharmatech and you haven't took the ptcb exam yet. Because you are studying for it during your break 🤔
Yeah I know, part of it's procrastination and laziness and the other part was I was taking summer classes. But I really need to just take it. 😕
Hello
Hi, how much do you receive per hour? Thanks for the video!!
Thanks for the question! I'm not sure if I should disclose that info but... Honestly, it ranges depending on where you work. Uncertified at King's minimum hourly pay is 16 an hour due to the huge work shortages. However, there is a set two-dollar raise for getting certified.
Hi mam how are you. I am a pharmacy technician from Pakistan ..I am working as lead technician now and since working from 2009 ..can you help me out for getting a job there
I wish I could. I don't truly know how pharmacies internationally work or names and such. But I bet you would have to get recertification based on the state you plan to work in
You from
Job in pharmacy.
Hi i am sohail from Pakistan
I want a job please help me
what's the difference between a pharmacy tech and a pharmacy assistant in terms of job responsibilities?
Sorry, but I am not actually sure. There are only pharmacists and pharmacy techs at my store so I only really know about them.
Are you Vietnamese?
I'm Chinese, although I was adopted and not 100% sure of my genetics. It would be interesting to see what my roots fully are.
4:07 Big vials for a little amount of pills 💀 my boss would let me have it if I do that lmao.
Yeah, I was using a 13 dram bottle which is our smallest. It might just be the angle but sometimes the pills are so tiny the bottle is ridiculously big.
@@GraceLien ohhh that’s why! Over here where I work at we use 6 and 8 drams most if the time, so we run out of it fast hahaha
Why do you have a hat on ?
I just really liked the hat. My job has no restrictions on it and it was a hot day, so I thought it would be a nice touch.
Lmao 😂 what’s wrong with that ? Omg , focus on the important stuff , or you just here to criticize what she wears ? 🙄🤦🏻♀️
@@vixyvelasquez9898 when did I say it was anything wrong with it? I’m just surprised they let her wear it my store is so strict headbands are almost off limit.
