That’s not bad at all!!! Which hospital? :)

What hospital and how did you get that job I’m in Chicago as well Im In Chicago south side !

Nice!! I’m in the suburbs but I go to the city often before COVID :)

I am from India is their any pharmacy Technician job for me please tell me if any.

42/28 is 1.5 which is federal law for overtime hours. Has nothing to do with Christmas.

Awesome! Thank you!

Aw thank you love ❤️

I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

For not needing a college degree I completely agree! Going into debt is sometimes not worth it when you can make just as much without having loans to pay back!

You're so welcome!

That's a pretty good amount. Cost of living does play a role into how much someone makes per state.

What part of Washington do you live in?

I’m sure it has been really bad I got out right when covid was still pretty new. I don’t think it’s fair that they keep giving techs so much work and Techs have to give vaccines and there’s not really an increase in pay I would assume. I say take the PTC be because they will pay for it and then maybe try to find some thing in the hospital or just find a different type of job. I’m sorry 😞

That is awesome! Best of luck :)

That's awesome! How do you get the trainee permit?

that is great pay!! how do you enjoy your job?

Never knew you could make that much as a pharm tech. How many years have you been a Tech and how many years have you been at that hospital? Thanks.

That's ALOT!!!

Working as a ptech for well over 30 years. Been at my facility for 31yr

That's great to hear it sounds like you enjoy your career!

California pays more than other states. Illinois is WAY less in regards to cost of living. It makes sense why someone would get paid more in Cali as houses are up to 1 million dollars for a 2000 sq ft house. In Illinois that would be about 200-300K.

I definitely agree with you though, retail is NOT the way to go if you're looking to make a decent living.

I feel that

Si! I would love to make a video on this topic since I did work as one!

You're lucky!! I was working in the far west suburbs but then again minimum wage has gone up and so many jobs now are paying more than when I started in 2017.

I’m in the same boat as you. I’m about to start as a Cust. Service rep and they told me I will also get trained for Pharmacy Tech. Do you know how that process is?

I do! Send me a ig message pls

That's really great pay :) how do you like it? Maybe I should move to milwaukee it's very nice there!

What hospital?

Froedtert hospital in Milwaukee. The top pay is now $30/hr for a tech 4 position. It is capped at $30/hr but it’s not really capped. You’ll still get an annual raise every year which is typically a 4% raise that is paid out to you as a bonus every year. Each year the bonus increases as you get another raise.

@@MyLady22. That’s fantastic. What about 1 year experience

Best of luck becoming an RN!

Thank you I am glad you enjoy them :) What do you mean specifically?

Wow that’s super great money I’m very happy for you. What state are you in?

@@RosaPerez Thanks! I am in California, BayArea. Online national average for pharmacy tech are so off. They make it as if its such an underrated profession. It almost discourage me from pursing my license but I found out what they make at certain hospitals, so I decided to go through with it and here I am today, Blessed!

@@maisgrill7892 I’m glad you did your own research and follow your heart what are you making is really great and I’m so glad you like what you’re doing.

@@maisgrill7892 nice !what hospital do you work?

@@FL1p008 Kaiser Permanente

I really enjoyed being a pharmacy tech as well :)

does walgreens give raises? or do they max out?

they do give raises but eventually it does max out after a certain number of years

Good luck! you can do it!

@@RosaPerez so far it’s been pretty good they want me to comeback next week !

times have changed I agree! Pay has increased in many fields now.

Right, I agree more pay is necessary

Starting at retail is pretty much min wage. Look at long term care pharmacy and let them know u get paid bla bla bla amount currently. Lol they'll match it most likely . Shoot for the sky. As long as it's not a big name pharmacy ( cvs , Optum

@@oojimjonesoo good advice!

And that’s why I’m going to stick to my real estate class and get that license.

@@ThatGworl2023 stick with real estate 🏡

Bro I finished my tech program summer 2022 and got my first job at an inpatient hospital in the bay area, I started at $35.50 with full benefits lmao

Are you in Cali? That's why lol. COL in Cali is CRAZY expensive compared to the the majority of the US. I want to move down there though!

@@RosaPerez if you look it up, national average COL is 38k a year and california COL is only 46k. It's more, but not as much as people think, and for how much better pay is in california.

@@jerryboy617 houses are in the millions though

@@RosaPerez buy a house anywhere that's not sf, sj. Theres plenty of other cities, you're paying 600k-800k

That's decent $!

They should be calling you if they’re interested it honestly depends on their needs and who they are looking for. If you want to you can definitely give them a call after a week or so if you don’t hear anything :)

@@RosaPerez thank you! I just applied Friday so I’m hoping they’ll call after Memorial Day. If I call them what should I say or how can I frame it?

I got my certification after working there for about a little over two years. I did not recommend and waiting that long but I was very prepared when I actually took the exam.

I’m not sure how much the pay is in California but I would assume it’s a little bit more than most other states since people in California to get paid more typically.

I’m sure you could work something out if you talk to management

Yes you can

Hi, I'm a Pharmacy Tech and I once asked that questions. I was put into pharmtech class due to MA classes being full. My teacher in High School always told us that we would never compete with any of our classmate for the same job. Along with the high demand, the flexibility of hours. I go to university and still kept my job as part-time. I asked my classmates regarding their job, they said that most of doctor's office for MA's are in need of full timer. It also depends on your passion. =) hope that helps!

hi there! honestly it depends on what you are more interested in. If you want to interact with patients then MA is the way to go. If you want to learn about medications, do pharmacy tech.

there are ALWAYS jobs for both!! MA can give you more variety in where you work. Pharmacy tech you can work in retail, specialty, hospital, and independent pharmacies.

Do both. I’m literally thinking the same.

yes agreed!!

what state are you in?

@@RosaPerez minnesota!

I would ask your community college.

Did you look at job postings?

@@RosaPerez no how ?

No lol I’ve never lived in Orlando too humid! Yes I was that’s correct

It can have its challenges but overall I do not find it extremely difficult. Its a good idea to know the medications but if there are very specific questions a patient asks the pharmacist will need to answer that. You do have to put medicine in containers, deal with insurances, type out prescriptions.. many more things as well which I talk about in some of my videos if you want to learn more :)

She mentioned in other videos that she was hired by Walgreens with no experience and they paid for her certification and classes to become certified.

I did not pay for a program. not sure how credible they are. I got paid training by walgreens.

Hi there. I do not know about that program so I cannot give my advice on if it is a good one or not unfortunately :(

@@RosaPerez oh, but by these kind of programs can we start up as for the first level.

@@yusramohammadddd for pharmacy tech yes

I am from india is their any pharmacy Technician job please replu.

Are you still working in the pharmacy?

I agree, they were very flexible with hours at my pharmacy!

It was typically eight hour shifts

That's sweet $$

How much is rent there ?

Hi you can take a look at job postings on indeed. That should help :)

I thought Florida would pay more :/

How much

Yes, would like to know how much and what part of Florida you're in

@@elizabethorduno8810 I’m in broward county Florida and I just started with $15 no experience at a mail order pharmacy, but I did a pharmacy technician program for about a year.

I know the flu shot is optional but I’m not sure about the covid-19 vaccine

@@RosaPerez thank you for your response.

@@goldelement1245 of course! You’re welcome

Which certificate?

You might need to take the state license and that depends on the state. The PTCB exam has its own cost or can sometimes be covered by the employer.

In WI it is $140 to take the PTCB test.

I agree if you’re interested in making more money I wouldn’t do pharmacy tech. Overall throughout your lifetime he probably will get maxed out and not be able to make any more money. I think radiology technicians to make really good money and that’s something you should definitely consider :)

Ups driver gets 21 per hour starting and less responsibility in a way then giving out the wrong pills to someone lol

@@nycas2192 right.. it's pretty upsetting to know that.

Can I get your face book or email to learn a bit more about your brother's job? I'm a vet trying to find something better, and I always wanted to be a radiologist tech.

@@riotz8742 My brother in law is doing amazing. It was a little rough at first. He had to accept pt work at two diff hospitals when he graduated and his schedule was all over the place. But, it's a sacrifice you have to make when you graduate and want work as a radiologist tech. Now he's actually certified to do MRI scans. He's only been doing it for a total of 5 years and is already making about $47 an hour last time I talked with him. Now he only works for one hospital 4 days a week 10 hour shifts and has 3 days off but is on call one one of his weekend days off. He went to school for two years and that was all there was to it. I was considering doing it myself, but haven't decided yet. He did get some loans and financial aid and is paying off the loans now, I think he owed around 50k when he was done. Somewhere around that. So you would have to factor that in if you still owe any loans from when you went to vet school. He told me that when you graduate you have two options. You either take whatever you can get and sacrifice a lot of your time with really shitty work hours when you graduate just so you can get in the door and get some experience like he did, and eventually you get an offer to be full time at a hospital or clinic or whatever. The other option is once you graduate you have to be willing to move to another state if you have to to get that position. But it only took him doing the 2 year program, he got his degree and he pretty much found work within a couple weeks of graduating. He said he loves it. That pay is amazing tho. Remember the pay I mentioned of $47 an hour is because he is now certified to also do MRI scans. He also works in a hospital in central NJ, which anyone working in the medical field in a city or in this case the Tri-state area is going to make more than someone working...anywhere that isn't those places, lol. But either way the pay is great no matter what.

Hmm you would have to check with the home country.

One semester, January-may

It really depends. I got hired on without an experience. I took the PTCB class for 4 weeks. Then I became certified a little before I was working at the Pharmacy for two years. It may vary by state and employer so I would do research on what the specific requirements are for your state and companies you are interested in applying to.

😂😂😂

haha

Thats funny but thank you 😅

You might need a work visa

18 in most states but I would check in yours.

No not at this moment

For pharmacy tech?

@@RosaPerez yes

@@goldenkandy037 as a pharmacy technician in the states you can come straight out of high school and apply for the program which is like 3 months than you will be a licensed pharmacy tech. so basically you really don’t spend years studying just practicing and getting the work experience to boast your pay and position

How much is the cost in California?

@@RosaPerez I don't know yet, Im researching.

Pharmacy Technician makes around $15-$18 in California.

@@yusramohammadddd Hey! I saw you in RxHealthAcademyyy. Your name in the comments of one of the courses I mean. Have you finished the course? I have lots of questions. I’d love to keep in contact with you

@@nah-ko4sb Are you taking the course too?

Hi Marisol, I am not located in California so I would have to do some further research to see what that entails.

@@RosaPerez Hey Rosa thanks for the reply, how long did it take for you to get placed in a externship program? I enrolled in a online school and I feel frustrated on the fact that I want to take the exam but I'm being told to wait for an externship location to open up. I just want some advice from someone who did it already.

It did not take me very long. My pharmacy manager enrolled me in the course through Walgreens. I did miss the summer deadline so I had to wait to take it in the fall.

It depends what city you are in but I think it would be extremely difficult on the hourly pay. It is possible you could get paid more but you will have to be very smart with how you spend your money.

@@RosaPerez if i came there and worked as pharmacy technicians will pharmacy help in take the certification process or i came there i need to study

@@anaghaj1761 if you work in a pharmacy most but not always all will help cover the cost of the exam and study materials but it does depend on the pharmacy.

@@RosaPerez is pharmacy technicians are in demand there?

@@anaghaj1761 yes they are

Not really, it’s pretty basic math and they teach you on the job.

Yes correct!

:( I know
