Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Hi....I work in pharmacy automation. My job involves packaging and barcoding drugs for robots/eMAR and also running robots for cartfill. I also hire, train, and schedule PRN techs to help me meet the packaging needs of the hospitals. The smallest hospital site I have is less than 200 beds, my other site is just over. I also work PRN for 2 other sites (robot sites) that have 400+ beds. I hope to become a local if not regional supervisor in the near future. Annette, Austin, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Hi Carmelita- The technicians I hire must be PTCB certified and registered with the state board but usually have little or no experience. In fact, I usually place job postings at my local community college (it has a CPhT program) to recruit new techs. When I left retail, I had a lot of trouble finding a hospital job because I had no hospital experience or IV experience. It was very frustrating because I took an ACPE approved IV certification class but still no one would give me a chance. I guess that is why I sympathize and solicit the new techs in the area....beside IV certification/experience is not necessary for my position or the positions I hire for since all we do is automation. I do however work PRN at another hospital (one weekend a month) as an IV tech to keep my IV skills current. If I ever decide to change jobs, I don't want to have the same trouble I had before! My advice to you is to take an ACPE approved IV certification class if you are not already IV certified and if it is offered locally. Then just be persistent...
