Hi i have been watching your videos for awhile. I find them very helpful. I am sure you put a lot of time and energy into them. I just found a channel that has uploaded at least 2 of your videos Proudly Pharmacy Technician Students. In one of those videos people had commented that it sounded like you. I checked it out, and it is you. A response said that the channel gives you credit, but who knows these days. Just want to make you aware of this

I am on my experiment part in my course and had absolutely zero idea how to put down answers on the experiment sheets. Will watch more of your videos and hopefully figure out how to convert measurements between different sources. (syringes, measuring cups, etc.)

Amanda, I didn't go to school to become a PhT instead I studied by myself watching KZfaq Channel someone's like you and I am stilling watching your videos to learn but at work I am having a hard time to learn how to resolve Adjudication problem in EPRN computer system (right now, I know how to resolve PA and High dose problem) and I am also confused in Data entry of Transferred prescriptions specially in refill area like how many refills plus original prescription was written and how many time dispensed already etc... Learning EPRN software program is a big part of the job but everybody is too busy to teach me even someone try to teach me there is always interruption. I have learned a lot so far but I still need to learn more about adjudication part and how to type in transferred prescriptions. I know you make videos only for the test and you helped me pass the test but It is also important to survive at work. Learning the software program is challenging in busy work environment and I only work 3 days per week. I can't learn things when they show me one time how to do it this week and I will not have a chance to practice it until next week or longer period of time after that I will forget what I learned before so I ask same questions again which makes me dump and stupid. I am trying to learn proactively asking questions constantly (because If you don't do that nobody even the lead doesn't have time to teach me) but after while some co-workers started to show unhappy faces to me. I could not find any KZfaq channels that teach these skills. Could you please help someone like me???

Hello Amanda, your videos are great and I appreciate your work. Could you please make a video about calculating pharmacy days supply injection medications? I have a lot of trouble typing up these types of prescriptions and there is no source to learn them. I’m mainly talking about medications like ozempic, Lovenox, monjauro and victoza. We don’t necessarily deal with weight. We are just expected to calculate days supply based off the sig the prescriber writes. Anything you can do would be most appreciated.

A physician prescribed an antibiotic to be mixed in white petrolatum to produce a 25% antibiotic preparation. The physician later changed the protocol to be only 12.5%. How much white petrolatum must be mixed with each 6-oz ointment container of 25% preparation to make the new 12.5% preparation? Calculate your answer in grams. The answer should equal 180 grams but I’m not getting that I’m unsure of how to solve this. Can you help with this? @AmandaPharmD

It means to bring it down to the lowest number it can be but dividing it by the common denominator. So like 5/10 could be simplified to 1/2 because both 5 and 10 can be divided by 5 so you just put how many times they can be divided by the 5 (1/2).
