    I started being a pharmacy technician with just my license in April 21, 2021. It was very new, and I was initially overwhelmed with how much there was to learn, but was also eager for the challenge. I buckled down and as of January 15, 2022, I passed my PTCE exam on my FIRST try. To God be the glory, but I also would like to thank YOU for your countless videos that have helped me; particularly your series of 1-200 drugs. I also would like to mentor other aspiring pharmacy technicians in my community and give back the way you have decided to give back. Blessings and happy new year❤️

      Congratulations on passing your PTCE exam! And definitely if you can become an instructor, just know it is very rewarding.

      Question: 20 mg active ingredient in 200 mL normal saline. What is the weight/volume concentration? HINT: Be sure to convert 20 mg into grams.

    Just wanted to say because I rewatch your videos to really let it sink in. I actually like the longer videos or when you throw in your side commentary😂😂😂 it just shows you have personality. I do watch other pharmacy technician videos but after awhile they do make me sleepy because of how monotone they are. Just dropping a side bar, cause some of us enjoy it

    This is a lesson that can be applied in situations where you need to figure out a number going up or down by 10s.
    A number multiplied, or divided by 10, will shift it's decimal place by 1 to the right, or left, respectively. The same will happen if you're multiplying or dividing but with 100, now moving the decimal by 2. The number of zeroes determines how many times you shift the decimal.
    1.2 ⨯ 10 = 12.0 | 1.2 / 10 = 0.12
    1.2 ⨯ 100 = 120.0 | 1.2 / 100 = 0.012
    1.2 ⨯ 1,000 = 1200.0 | 1.2 / 1,000 = 0.0012
    The thing you need to keep in mind for metric units of measurement is that you have to multiply or divide by 1,000 at each stage of conversion. mcg to kg isn't dividing by 3,000, it's dividing by 1,000 three separate times. In simpler terms, going up or down in one unit of measurement is shifting three decimal places.
    1,000 mcg / 3,000 ≠ 0.000001 kg
    1,000.0 mcg / 1,000 = 1.0 mg / 1,000 = 0.001 g / 1,000 = 0.000001 kg
    Alternatively
    1,000.0 mcg / 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) = 0.000001 kg | Shifting the decimal 9 places to the left.
