Thank you for the video. I’ve been watching videos like these but haven’t seen a hospital pharm tech yet!
no problem! i hope you enjoyed it :)
Been a tech for 6 months and just landed a hospital job. I failed my first PTCB gonna retake it in February 😩 enjoyed the video
ahhhhh! girl don’t worry, you got this! i believe in you, honestly most people fail there first time, i believe the percent was higher than passing the first time. it’s for sure a hard test! i have some study materials if your interested through mometrix university! it’s helped sooo many people. Link is in my bio if you are interested. Let me know if you need help with anything and good luck love ❤️
How did you land the hospital job without being certified?
MZ CP Honestly idk.. just applied to a lot of different ones until one took me.
@@lovelylei7748 i should try and do that
Don't worry about that, make appointments you gonna pass next time. I did yesterday my examen the preliminary results was pass.
Great video, I’m planning on taking my ptcb in January to start my pharmacy technician career and I’m looking forward to it. You seem to really love your work and it shows, keep up the great work and I look forward to more of your pharmacy content!
thank you so much azure! means a lot to me and best of luck on your test in january! i have many videos on advice for PTCB and feel free to always reach out! thanks again for the support ❤️
I am also taking my test in January and could use all the advice I can get! I eventually want to work in a hospital setting as well! Azure, please message me and we can discuss what study tools you are using and help each other out! Your videos are great Keana!
Great video Keana!! I can't wait to see more videos from you. I just got hired as pharmacy tech with a hospital at satellite retail building. I'm so excited and nervous to start in two weeks. I've been watching so many different videos hoping to see a DITL. I've noticed there are so many different settings in becoming a pharmacy tech, retail seems more fast-paced and hospitals depending on the role is more calm. But anywhoo I just wanted to comment and say great video and I cant wait to see more!!
thank you so much!!! and congrats to you!! that is so awesome. How have you been enjoying it???
How has it been ?
Your videos have been so helpful. I started out in billing and coding, but starting on Friday as a retail pharmacy tech. Although I think the hospital is where I'd like to be. I think I like the atmosphere better.
awww thank you lauren! i’m glad i’m able to help! retail is for sure stressful but i think it’s really good to have retail experience before heading to hospital! i wish you the best of luck and let me know if you need help with anything ❤️
May I ask why you decided to stop with medical billing and coding? I was looking to go into that field
@@mayal8152 Sure, for me it wasn't the right fit. I have been in some form of customer service for 20 years, and the position I had was working alone in a cubicle. I like interacting with people and felt a change was in order.
Not all medical billing and coding is alone, I'm sure there are tons with interaction, but it was a change I wanted.
And the store I am at now is crazy busy (even without covid). Its non-stop and for me it's great. I didnt go to school to be a pharm tech so it's a lot to learn very quickly but I like it much more than sitting all day.
Can I ask how much communication is required or what Doctors and staff go to you for advice regarding? I used to be a Scientist and looking for a better work/life balance. I have Autism so communication skills may be a bit difficult. Thank you.
Great video. My daughter is interested in this!
Loved this def considering becoming a tech
I'm in Texas. Can we apply for PTCB exam with no experience or without working as a trainee in Texas?TIA
Question, it looks like u work in the city how do u find parking? Do u have a specific parking spot for employees or do u have to pay for it or take a shuttle?
yes we have parking lots! by seniority, so newer people have farther parking lots but have shuttles. you pay for it out of ur check about $20 a month. I just park on street though most times cause it’s closer
I’m ready retake my state boards exam soon but i work in hospital hopefully i pass and get to move up this video gave me more motivation 😊
good luck!! i’m glad my video helped you ❤️
Hello .. i love y videos so much ❤
I have a question. .
How can i prepare my self to immigrate australia as a pharmacy technician?
I'm graduated from college of veterinary medicina .
In Egypt.
I have all information about migration.. but i don't know how can travel as a pharmacy technician.. certification needed and other things
I live near this hospital 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Great video
thanks girl! ❤️
I’m curious! I noticed I didn’t see you fill any medication. Is that something you don’t technically have to do ?? Is this a certain position you’re doing?
yes exactly! i am a medication history technician at my hospital. I used to fill meds when i worked as a standard pharmacy technician at the hospital. my position is technically a higher position
What are your hours like at the hospital? Are they pretty consistent? Do you have weekends off?
it really depends on the hospital you are hired at. I am morning shift which is 7-330, with rotating weekends
Do interesting to work there as technician too.
I did my ptce exam yesterday, the preliminary results: pass ,I'm so happy 😊
congrats!!!!!🎊
You are so lucky. I really want to work at an hospital as a pharmacy technician.
apply!!!! you can deff do it if you get your credentials
I don't know which one to choose. I wanted to go for nursing (LPN) but I'm an introvert and have a hard time interacting with combative patients.
I recently started thinking about pharmacy tech route.
Is this job as tiring and stressing as nursing? Are there many job openings or not really? How many techs are in your hospital?
It seems like this is a good job, I know it doesn't pay as much as nursing but it seems to be better in terms of stress and burnout.
Nurses are burning out right and left and leaving the profession. I just don't want to end up like that 😩😩
in my opinion, pharmacy tech in retail is extremely stressful. i would go towards the hospital side . hospital can be stressful but it’s a completely different kind of stress and not AS stressful as retail for me. There’s always job openings for pharmacy technicians in my state. I knew a technician making $31 an hour with a few years of experience. Really just depends on where you are, the companies etc
Great video! I'm I'm school right now to be a pharmacy tech.
thank you 😊 and good luck!! that’s awesome
So I work retail as a pharmacy tech. I can’t express how Stressful it is. How’s the hospital? I want to leave very very bad. Everyday I fight myself to get up and go. With a new pharmacist everything went downhill and with a horrible DM, nothing goes smooth. There are days where I just want to up and leave. Just last week was when I had had it with him. I plan on going to the hospital next but I figured it be a little harder but less stressful? What’s it like?
I’m having the same exact issue, I def feel like I’m getting underpaid in retail. Hospital just seems like a better option in general cuz retail sucks. Being underpaid and then having to deal with corporate, rude customers, dm and managers pushing us to meet numbers is so overwhelming and definitely not worth the stress.
hi jay, i’m sorry your going through that. it all sounds way too relatable from when i was in pharmacy at cvs. i’m going to be making a video on this and how i handled stressors being at retail. hospital is completely different, even management wise. alot less stressful in my experience
@@KeanaConyers retail, SUCKS
Ahhh! I know CT when I see it!💕💕
Yes I love to see in right in New Haven YALE !
Plz rply i did diploma in pharmacy without maths from India can i get job in canda without taking any course or exam or We have to give exam nd what job i get in canda nd how much they paid ♥️
My Diploma pharmacy completely so how i cann apply this job in U. K. as a assistance pharmacy???
Really very nice. Can you please tell the all processes that how to become a pharmacy technician like you?
Hi! I have a few videos on my channel with how i become a pharmacy technician 🤩
What kind of questions are asked on the certification test?
there are honestly so many different questions! so it really depends on the topic
H, I just got my certification and I wanna try it in a Hospital, but I'm scared about how vacation time works at hospitals.
I like to travel a lot. Would you talk me a little bit about it?
hi! it really depends on the hospital and how many hours you work if your per diem, part time, full time etc! you’d have to talk with your specific employer
Hi, Do you think this is a stressful job? Asking because I’m thinking about going into this field but don’t want to go to work everyday &be stressed😩
hi maya! i think it really depends. i don’t feel stressed at all in hospital but my retail pharmacy was super busy and very high stress environment
it also might depend on where you work I feel like a grocery store pharmacy or not in a metro area might be a good start and it also depends on your employer. bad boss make work SUCK no matter the situation, it's hard to work with hostility around,creating tension when there is none.
do hospitals accept the ExCPT? i’ve currently been working at walgreens for about a year and i want to switch to a hospital but i’m not sure if hospitals accept my license?
it may depend on which hospital but i believe you have to be cpht
@Lucy-tu3xo hospitals only accept PTCB sadly.. but walgreens and cvs would pay for your ptcb classes and test!
Hey girl! I’m currently a pharmacy tech in training & getting certification through rite aid. Would I be able to even apply to a hospital with that specific experience and certification?! Love your video! :)
Im also planning on getting my certification from rite aid!
I’m pretty sure you can because it’s not necessarily “rite aid’s” certification but rather a regular CPT certification; you just happen to be getting hours/experience in to take the exam.
hey!! congrats on being a new tech, i hope you enjoy it ❤️ when you say your getting certification through rite aid do u mean they are paying for u to take ur PTCB? or do you mean your state license?? also, thank you soo much ❤️🥰
I am also getting my pharmacy license but through Walgreens, for us you have too at-least work 240 hours and then you can apply for your license
@@isabelmendez3310 is it hard? Like what does your day look like in training?
@@FloraNovax3 tbh I started getting trained when this whole Covid situation started so it was very stressful because sometimes the other techs are very busy and don’t have time to train you very well. We were already short staffed and then we started doing Covid test and vaccinations so it started getting more hectic. I would say that it gets easier I think the hardest thing for me right now is learning how to resolve any insurance issues. Walgreens uses a very old system which makes it even harder to resolve those issues but I’m pretty sure at other places depending on what system they use will be easier
Where did you get your notebook?
Marshalls! my favorite store ever
Mam, is pharmacy technician a Computerized desktop job? Love to do that
Great teachings keep it up
Thank you, I will
Is being a pharmacy tech in a hospital better than retail, like walmart?
i personally like hospital more, but sometimes i miss the days of fast paced environments counting pills and knocking down the to do list.
when you take the ptcb did yall get a calculator or no?
Yes
yes!
and the formulas?
I'm getting ready for my PTCB and have already completed my state(mass) required license. my first test I took at school and I feel like it might of been a lil leniency just want account for what I might run into
Yes they gonna give you calculator and paper
Oh I thought hospital would be less than retail I’m second guessing now lol I’m still trying to understand the math lol
yesss math can be a little difficult sometimes, just keep studying!
@@KeanaConyers what kind of math do you use on the daily basis? Can you make an video on it?
Math is easy , be only focus and take your time
I’m 16 and just had a Pharmacist Technician interview today at a hospital. It’s sounds like I’m going to get it. Fingers crossed
hiiii. You went for an interview unexperienced or did you have experience going in?
@@leslielouis8707 no experience
@@hunterozee7817 Hey. I see your comment was month ago.. did you get the job ?
@@leslielouis8707 I did! I enjoy it a lot and I’ve already learned a lot about the job
@@hunterozee7817 does it pay good? i'm asking because i'm interested now lol also congrats :)
Do you like the hospital side of pharmacy or retail?
I would say hospital but looking back I do miss retail sometimes lol! I am actually posting a video about this soon, stay tuned !
I’m studying to take my PTCB soon
good luck!
Me too!
Hay quá
Are you working BPHM? I have a job interview about this
i’m not sure what that is
@KeanaConyers sorry it's BPMH, Best Possible Medication History of Med recon.
Is pharmacy tech on the demand ?
yes
nice music
thank you’
I subscribed to your channel because we have the same name 🤪🥳
hey twinnnyyyyyyyy 🥳❤️
Use your seatbelt
my seatbelt was broken. it was locked as if my seatbelt was on. thank you tho!
This is confusing. You're a technician, not a pharmacist.
hi, i’m sorry you find it confusing. What is confusing about it? Everything in the video that i talked about/did was all pharmacy technician work. I am a medication history technician. I know i’m some states only pharmacists are allowed to do this work, but in mine it is a pharmacy tech position.
