    I'm so ready to leave my retail pharmacy. I'm going on 3 years of being a tech and just renewed my certification for the first time. There's so much stuff going on in my pharmacy, my new manager isn't great and I'm honestly sick of patients talking to me like I'm nothing more than dirt or acting like they own me because I fill their viagra for them. I don't want to be a technician forever, but in the meantime it's something that fits for me. I want to start working at the hospital because there seems to be so much more I can learn!
    Thank you for this video. I keep getting rejected from the hospital, but this makes me want to work harder until I get the job!
    I'm not done with the video yet, so I'm sorry if you've said this already. But was starting out in the hospital scary? Did you take a while to adjust and get into a flow of a routine?

    • @ItsDricaaa

I completely understand how your feeling while working retail I had the same experience. It was so hard to stay I hated how I was being treated. So my first hospital job wasn’t scary at all I think I was just so excited to learn something new the fear went away lol. Now I’m working at this other hospital as a medication reconciliation pharmacy Technician and let me just say I’m ready to leave😒 I’m making a video more about what’s going on. But overall it didn’t take me long at all to get into a routine I love the training ( at my first hospital job) and everything was so sweet!

    How clinical does a pharmacy technicians job get in Canada? In the U.K. we are expected to take drug histories and counsel patients on medicines, how to take, how to store, possible interactions or contraindications. We tend to be the 2nd check on everything after a pharmacist screens a prescription just to ensure no mistakes have been made in the initial screening process…. Ideally I may say depending on competence. Some techs here are clinically qualified to do a 1st screen on a prescription then referring to a pharmacist when required. Us techs are registered healthcare professionals in the U.K. under the General pharmaceutical council.

    This is defiantly different from retail pharmacy. That's where I am right now and Im getting my license soon. I'm already studying for another degree but will be going back to become a pharmacist. Would you recommend a hospital over pharmacy? I heard that they are willing to pay for a lot of your tuition which is something I'll need help with. I want to go to a hospital eventually so I'd love to hear what you have to say regarding tuition reimbursement.

      Definitely is fun I love being able to work everywhere in the pharmacy 😀

      Hey hey, there’s not a time frame after being certified you just have to apply.

      Hey hey, I think you meant pharmacy assistant vs pharmacy technician. If not in order to become a pharmacist first you need two years of prerequisites and 4 years pharmacy school whereas pharmacy technicians depending on your state requirements only need a license or certification.
      Pharmacy tech assistant for my understanding is an entry level position; a pharmacy tech cashier would be a great example. Whereas a Pharmacy technician is more advanced some states require you to be certified and/or have some type of training program. Your daily task consist of labeling medication, reviewing prescriptions, ordering, may prepare intravenous medication depending on what job you work at and a lot more :D
