Pharm Tech Associations that you belong to?

None, sorry!

CPhT?

Was certified, let it lapse after passing Pharmacy Boards

On the Job Trained?

Bet your behind. Of course, I grew up in pharmacy. My parents had a

pharmacy from 82-92. So! When sick, slept in aisle of drugs, helped with

inventory and input from time I could play with computers (there are no

labor laws regarding your own children)

Number of years/months you have been a tech or CPhT?

Umpteen? Basically from 82-92, then 95-03 (when graduated Pharmacy school),

and still do tech stuff, since pharmacists (should) have to be able to be

techs!

Specialty area: Retail, IV's, Long Term care, Managed Care?

Retail. Currently with WalMart since 3/2005, previously with Kroger from

5/1995 to 3/2005. Compounding can be fun also. But none of the retail

chains that I've been in (either through working or on rotations) do much of

it.

Hobbies?

I tend to tell people that I have three 'addictions':

Cats (personal & rescue), Computers, Coupons

Although I also do some reading, we go to movies on/off. Husband (FINALLY!)

went back to school to work on his Bachlors! (It's in IT, but hey!)

Etc ?

Also enjoy cross-stitch, beadwork, some other 'crafty' things, helping

others (especially the family that I kind of 'adopted' a couple years ago,

it's fun!), freecycling.

For some questions it's better to email me directly, since I can sometimes

get 400-600 emails a day between different email lists, and obviously can't

read them all. *blush*

Hello Ernie and all that are taking the exam in March:

I found a great math study guide.I the book is from the APhA Pharmacy

Training Series.

It is the Second Edition of The Complete Math Review for the Pharmacy

Technician. Author: A. Hopkins, Jr. You can order this book online at

www.pharmacist. com or call 1-800-878-0729.

This book is a great review. I have been out of pharmacy for about 10 years

and had a great deal of catching up to do and this book assisted me in

reviewing for the exam.

You can find other good review books at the above site!

Good luck!

You might be inteested in an online program for New Yorkers that I cam across

one day not long ago.It was only about $300 and it was a campus firs and stillis

and now it offeres online. I too a good look at what it was offering online and

felt it was good except no labs. But I thinkyou can do labs if you go to the

campus for extra money. Ijust can not think og the name right now. But I am sure

that if you surf the net that you will find it. I will check my personal files

at home this weekend. You may want to privately email me to remind me.

Caremark? How do you liek them? From the NPTA conventions that I have seen

they really treat their tech employees nicely! What are your thoughts on

education? since you have done both do you think classroom education is

warrented for pharm techs? Or do you think OJT is all that is necessary? Curious

since youhave had both!

Specialty area: Retail

Hobbies: My dogs, outdoors (when I can find time)

Etc: Working a full time job that is not pharmacy related. Have

been working in pharmacy retail part-time for 4 1/2 years to put my

kids through college. They are graduating soon, so what did I do -

went back to school to get my degree. So, free time is at a premium

and when I do find some time between the 2 jobs and school, I tend to

sleep or play with my dogs. My house is a shambles because housework

falls to the bottom of the list, and I never seem to quite make it to

the bottom. But only a few more years and I can reap the rewards.

List Status: Lurker (I really received a lot of help with questions

and studying for the exam. Now I receive the digest and skim through

to check up on current events. I am still learning.)

My name is Roshawna Walters. I have been a CPhT for almost two

years. I am not currently working as a CPhT but I am going to keep

my certification .I live in Tampa ,FL and was educated at Apollo

College in New Mexico. I am a silent member of the group ,but I have

gained alot of knowledge from the post.

[Guest guest]

Hi Jeanetta

I love working in the hospital but I'm having some difficulties right now

(not with performance..health). How Can I email you privately? I attended

Durham Tech's Pharmacy Technology Program in 1978-79. It was a 6 month program.

We

took Pharmacology classes had clinical rotations etc. One of my professors

was the Assistant Director at Duke and hired some of us before we even finished

school. So I worked at Duke for almost 7 years. I have been out of Pharmacy

for about 10 years, but returned this past April 2005. Decided to take the test

in November. Very nervous about that, since not only did I have 10 years of

catching up to do, but to get my act together to take the test. I don't know how

my score fits in Nationally but I scored an 848. I'm just glad I passed the

darn thing! I wish to become more involved professionally; I'm not sure if

NPTA has a local chapter, but AAPT has one in Greensboro NC. I am still trying

to

catch up on things. One thing I do know, becoming a CPhT does not make me an

expert in Pharmacy. I realize ther is so much more to learn and I want to

learn it all, well, as much as possible. I have already begum working on my

CE's.

I worked hard to pass that test and plan not to lose my certification.

Hopefully, I can inspire others to do their best. One year ago I had 6 heart

bypasses. One month before the test I was back in the hospital having a stent,

since 5 of the 6 vessels had closed. I was determined to take that test!

Short of death, nothing was going to stop me. I studied hard, and I decided if I

failed I'd be right back there in March !

If you something bad enough, you'll do whatever it takes to get there, no

matter the time frame.

I wish the best for every Technician!

Sincerely

CoX CPhT

Dear , You are one curious cat! So you wnat to go back to retail from

hospital. What does it for you? Pt contact? hours? What is the reason? I can not

imagine retail but respect those who love it and can handle it. What program at

Durhem Tech? A pharm tech one? That would have been one of the first in the

country. The first one was in Santa Ana California in l972. From what I saw last

week many in NC are 'steel magnolias'. God Bless you all.
