Lemme tell u drica, watching ALL of ur ptcb2020 quizlet reviews. Writing them down including other quizlets. Downloading the apps u used. I studied my A.S.S off these last 3wks. I passed on my first go!! I LOVE ur videos. I LOVE ur attitude. U r absolutely awesome. Thank u for posting ur day/night shifts at the hospital. Now that i am officially certified, I will be applying to MANY hospitals. Keep up the awesome work G💕
Omg!! 😍☺️😀😀🥳🥳First off CONGRATULATIONS GIRLY!!!! Yay hard work and studying definitely pays off and feels so amazing. Thank you soo much, you’re so sweet 😫🥰 really love hearing that I am able to help make studying for your exam easier. Soo happy for uuu 💛💛
As a CPhT, I work 12 hours, 7pm to 7am, 7 days on 7 days off with a total of 2 techs working during these hours. One tech is filling and tubing orders while the other is pulling narcs for the 12 OR /Bronc/Endo/OB rooms. Once that is complete it’s taken to the floor and I go into each room to refill the Omnicells. It takes close to 2 hours to refill. In the meantime the other tech is multitasking in the pharmacy by filling IV orders, answering the phone calls and filling, tubing med requests etc. When I return to the pharmacy the other tech take a lunch break. I then work on crediting patients accounts then I go to lunch. After lunch we pull the morning run, rotate IV room coverage, tube med requests and replenish anesthesia trays and refill the omnicell cart etc...it’s rare that we get to sit down because it’s a fast paced environment-there is so much more to this job...
Wow that’s amazing!! 👏🏾😀 I love hearing about hard working Pharmacy technicians, we really do a lot!! Exactly what we do hehe but definitely not as busy as your pharmacy sounds like. I volunteered for nights for a week but our original technicians work 7pm-7am, 7 days on and 7 days off but only with 1 technician a night and 1 pharmacist. I can’t imagine working 7pm-7am 😫 I definitely enjoyed it but night technicians definitely do more than morning technicians (at my hospital).
Hi Dricaaa! I just got hired at a hospital as a pharmacy technician! I'm transitioning from retail so, I will be watching your channel religiously. Thank you for the great content!
finished my first week training as an inpatient tech. I’ll also be the night tech to 11-7:30am. its going to be 4-6 weeks of training but watching your videos are so inspirational. Thanks
Yay!! Congratulations that’s amazing😀😀 I hope you enjoy it, when I worked nights some days was busy but most was pretty chill so i hope you have the same experience.
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 was a pharm tech in college at a 24hr cvs. Complete nightmare. I would recommend working at a hospital. After graduating, I've been working from home far away from annoying customers and sensitive pharmacists. No calls. Nothing. Just peace and quiet
@@ItsDricaaa Systems analyst for a hospital. I would recommend getting an IT cert if you don't plan on getting a bsc in computer science. I still deal with a lot of pharmacology and healthcare terminologies from my tech days, only sitting on a computer instead.
I really appreciated what you are doing to help pharmacy technician . So what type of questions are they asking for the interview? How long do you get training before working on yourself?
@@ItsDricaaa it’s a lot but I’m still learning. I’m on transport rounds right now but enjoying it. I feel like I’m pestering asking a lot of questions and hoping to catch on soon! 🍀🤞
I've been working at Walgreens pharmacy for 3 months now and don't like it but you're inspiring me to get my ptcb and get into the hospital cause i cant stay in retail, how much experience does the hospital require?
😍I know I watched your videos! So interesting seeing how cvs pharmacy operates. You should definitely go for it girly!! I also commented under one of your videos, do you have a email?
Hey hey, I gotta find your first question but for this question, yes our night shifts do take breaks and we do have a break room in the pharmacy. Now I only did one week of working nights so I'm not 100% sure if its always like that. :)
Hi Drica! What state are you from? Did your hospital require you to have IV certification before starting your job? I’m looking into Texas State Board of Pharmacy and it vaguely talks about techs have to be IV certified in order to make sterile compounds.
Hey hey, I’m in South Carolina. They don’t require us to get IV certification before we start working, just IV training once hired! I’ve thought about getting it but I don’t think I’ll get paid more. I would go on indeed and search hospital pharmacies in your area and check there requirements or call and ask 😉
Hihi! I'm planning on going to Trident Tech (where I know you went) What's the difference between getting your associates (the two year program) and just getting the certificate?
Ooh cool 😀 so there’s just the program which I did and only got a diploma or if you want to get your associates I believe it’s the same classes as if you was doing pharmacist prerequisites. Let me know if you have anymore questions
hey! my first job as a pharm tech will start on 22nd of feb. but i took the ptcb last 2019. do you have any tips what can I do or read for me to be prepared and refresh my knowledge for my first job in a hospital? Thanks!
Ooh Yay!!! Congratulations girly 🥳😍 coupe days before I started working at the hospital I read over my conversions and how to read hospital labels. Also looked over some of the machines hospitals pharmacies use, like Pyxis and taylst. I also read over how to gown up and sterile and non sterile drugs. Make sure you get some rest because training can be very long. Good luck😀😀
I just started my journey as a pharmacy tech. I am not certified yet but plan on becoming certified. I currently work in retail pharmacy but think I want to switch to hospital pharmacy once I have more experience. Which pharmacy environment do you prefer and why? @it’sdricaaa
Hey hey, so I worked both retail and hospital and if I had to choose between the two I would pick hospital! You’re more respected and can feel more valuable, important and needed in my opinion! I do love retail but when it comes to rude customers and you have a pharmacist that can’t help and back you up when they know you’re correct, but rather stand back and let you get treated wrong over and over it gets exhausting and not worth it. I almost changed careers working retail. But understand every job has its ups and downs! 🙂
Hello Drica, do you have to answer calls from insurance companies or go to pts and ask them about the medications they ate taking? Thank you for your videos!
That’s great girly definitely take your time and when you believe your ready go for it! I wouldn’t wait super long so you don’t have to keep restudying! 😀 Omg why does it cost so much?
@@ItsDricaaa I’m taking it this month before the exam decides to do a whole 360 on me with new topics 😂😂 and idkkk my school said it’s $200 and I’m like wooooaaah 😳 I can’t afford to fail. I live in Florida so you already know everything down here is ridiculous 🤦🏾♀️
Hii techie and congratulations on passing your exam 🥳🥳🤩 so you do not need hospital experience. I never did and just applied! I would recommend a Good recommendation letter, but keep in mind some jobs will want you to have experience. 😀
Hey hey! making chemotherapy is super easy and the process really does protect you from getting exposed. I would double gown if I was TTC and working in the IV room. Or you can tell your pharmacist! When I first started working there I was still breastfeeding and pumping so they didn't allow me to go inside until I was completely over that.
Hey hey! It really just depends on the person. I wouldn’t do night shifts again, it was hard getting off in the morning and having to go home to a one year old lol
Hey hey! So everyone pay is different based on how many years being a tech and how long they’ve worked for the company, but from what I know it’s around $18-20 in South Carolina.
Lol yeaa I agree 😭 but I think it’s just South Carolina because some nurses start off with $29 an hour 🤷🏽♀️. Every state is different, what state do you live in? So I only worked nights for a week. I was just covering for my coworker. I only work mornings and afternoon.

Omg it looks so peaceful compared to retail. Definitely gonna push myself for ptcb now!
😀🤩🙌🏾🙌🏾 You got this!!
I’m still determined to take my exam, it makes me feel more comfortable watching what a hospital pharmacy tech does.
Yay!! Continue to stay determined and focused, you got this😀💛

Im a night tech also i wish i had someone with me at night. And yes night techs are definitely busy i usually dont eat or sit down most nights
Omg 😫
Are you satisfied with your job? I’m considering Pharm Tech also.
Hi Dricaaa! I just got hired at a hospital as a pharmacy technician! I'm transitioning from retail so, I will be watching your channel religiously. Thank you for the great content!

How was the experience
Yay I’m excited!! I like watching you I’m actually trying to get my GED so I can become a pharmacy technician
😀😃thank you!! Yay go for it 😍🙌🏾
I passed my GED thank you !! ❤️
Sometimes when I feel like I can’t move up in my position
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
Please does anyone know who this Mrs Virginia is? I
really need to speak with her I'm frustrated 🥺
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
Pharmacy techs are hard workers props to you for being able to do night shift. I worked at a hospital before and omg it is exhausting!
🙌🏾Yes we are and thank you!! Lol after the third night I was a zombie. Ooh man I haven’t worked at a busy hospital yet what all did you do there?
You got me excited. I can’t wait to start technician school to work in the hospital.
YAY!!!! Wishing you best in your journey! :D
Starting inpatient at a Children’s Hospital .. 10am to 9pm shift.. inpatient new to me but been a tech 9 years
Yay congrats girly!! Are you excited for a new change?
@@ItsDricaaa yes maam, still getting use to it all but I have a good team
I was a pharm tech in college at a 24hr cvs. Complete nightmare. I would recommend working at a hospital. After graduating, I've been working from home far away from annoying customers and sensitive pharmacists. No calls. Nothing. Just peace and quiet
Omg!! Hook a sister out lol. But yea I heard from my friends and coworkers that cvs is a nightmare and still don’t pay enough. What exactly do you do?
@@ItsDricaaa Systems analyst for a hospital. I would recommend getting an IT cert if you don't plan on getting a bsc in computer science. I still deal with a lot of pharmacology and healthcare terminologies from my tech days, only sitting on a computer instead.
Thanks for sharing this video 🥰
The noisy carts 😂 or the wobbly wheels

I worked graveyard the last 15 year. I miss it
It was definitely different but I enjoyed it! Overall I don’t think I could do it again lol
I've been working at Walgreens pharmacy for 3 months now and don't like it but you're inspiring me to get my ptcb and get into the hospital cause i cant stay in retail, how much experience does the hospital require?
Hey hey! You should go for it!! Lately I notice them wanting at least 6 months experience.
Man me to but I work in CVS. The pay doesn’t match the work we do bro.
I work in CVS pharmacy actually just started my channel and this looks so much more better than what I do. 😩 I wanna change over to the hospital
😍I know I watched your videos! So interesting seeing how cvs pharmacy operates. You should definitely go for it girly!!
I also commented under one of your videos, do you have a email?
Another question I have since you have night shift do you take breaks? Do u guys have a break room where you can rest and such?

Wonderful! Thx
Been studying for the state board for 8 months now because I’m not trying to fail and pay $200 to retake it
That’s great girly definitely take your time and when you believe your ready go for it! I wouldn’t wait super long so you don’t have to keep restudying! 😀
Omg why does it cost so much?

Hey girl hey!! Question, do yall not have tube stations?? That is so much easier while working in the pharmacy!
Hey hey! We do 😀 just can’t tube anything 500 mg and up
I start my program January 19th 😬.
Ooh YAY!! Good luck i hope you enjoy it😃
Thank you
Do I need to know about the laminar for the exam? Im taking it soon
Yes!
If only PT’s made more money! I’d switch from nursing to pt in a heart beat
I agree!! That’s why I plan on changing degrees now!
Anyone know how she put the potassium chloride in the sodium chloride bag? Seemed confusing?
Hello. I am new to your channel. I just passed my PTCB. I want to work in a hospital, do I need the experience to work in a hospital?
Hii techie and congratulations on passing your exam 🥳🥳🤩 so you do not need hospital experience. I never did and just applied! I would recommend a Good recommendation letter, but keep in mind some jobs will want you to have experience. 😀
What is the qualification for assistant pharmacist there
Depends on where you live for my state you have to have a high school diploma or GED and gone through a pharmacy program 😊
Hey can you tell me what it’s like making IV chemotherapy drugs? Is the process difficult, would you recommend it to someone TTC?
Hey hey! making chemotherapy is super easy and the process really does protect you from getting exposed. I would double gown if I was TTC and working in the IV room. Or you can tell your pharmacist! When I first started working there I was still breastfeeding and pumping so they didn't allow me to go inside until I was completely over that.
Do u typically have to work a lot fo night shifts? Or is that just due to covid?
Oh no, I volunteered to work it for a week due to coworker asking for vacation 😀. I’m always working mornings shifts.
@@ItsDricaaa that is nice of you
I take my exam in 20 more days, im super super scared yall 😭🤞🤞
🥳🤩Don’t be you got this!! Wishing you good luck🤞🏾🙏🏽
Would u say that people rather take night shift
Or day shift for
This career? Because I low key would like to do night shift since I’m a night owl 😅
Hey hey! It really just depends on the person. I wouldn’t do night shifts again, it was hard getting off in the morning and having to go home to a one year old lol
I'm doing night shift only because I work night shift for 4 years and I like it. I say try it out but night shift is not for anyone.
What’s the hardest part about hospital pharmacy
For me its just learning the hospital drugs and knowing what they’re used for.

How much your salary when you work at night 🌃
Hey hey! So everyone pay is different based on how many years being a tech and how long they’ve worked for the company, but from what I know it’s around $18-20 in South Carolina.

Lol yeaa I agree 😭 but I think it’s just South Carolina because some nurses start off with $29 an hour 🤷🏽♀️. Every state is different, what state do you live in?
So I only worked nights for a week. I was just covering for my coworker. I only work mornings and afternoon.
