    As a pharmacy tech for 20 years, this job is not for the faint of heart lol...honestly a great Crew is essential. At first your Brain will want to explode but it is a good job, good pay, and you'll get out of it what you put in. Keep updated and ask your pharmacist to teach you things even if you are not legally allowed to use the knowledge, it will help your work ten fold! I guess it depends which company you work for but you'll find what place is the best fit. Good luck newbies!

    Some states do require you to complete an approved class so check with your board of pharmacy. You get registered with your state, then you sit for your national certification test. Two different processes.

    I just found this video, but unfortunately i'm going to have to incur the debt to do the 9 mo program for tech & sterile IV compounding in order to try to go straight from externship hopefully into the hospital. AT this age, i do not have time to spend years in retail making no money to gain experience. I'm praying that between my program & externship that i can get a hospital job. Prayers up. I did go ahead & apply for the TX state trainee license which i see some of them will accept, so hopefully i can get my foot in the door at night

    I got hired at a Walmart supercenter about 2 months ago as a pharmacy technician trainee without certification. They will help pay for the test and even put me through their online program to help with the test. So far I like it. How should I start preparing for the test? I bought a book that’s called Test prep book PTCB exam study guide. Will that alone help me pass the test or should I also buy and study a coursework book that goes deeper into the subject?
