Recently just got hired as a pharmacy tech at walgreens as well, i have no pharmacy experience..super nervous but excited at the same time!

The PTCB exam is very difficult to pass, I can't believe i failed after studying with so many materials😞

thank you so much! i actully start my first day tomorrow and this was really helpful. :) thank you for what you do i appreciate it!

Thank you so much! This video is a lot helpful!! God bless you!🙏🏻🙌🏻

This was very helpful. I am a 19 year old that recently took three semesters at a community college and they think that it's time for i to transfer. I am not the best student, but i tried. Sometimes i even feel like im rushing this pharmacy tech career.. but i know that it will be worth it! :)

My first day is on Friday! I’m super nervous! Thank you for posting this video so I know what to expect. 😊

Hello! I recently just got hired at Walgreens and will be starting in a couple of days! This tips are really helpful for me to learn before I start my work. Thank you!

Wow this was so helpful thank you🤗💕

Thanks for making this it’s very informative

I love tutoring pharm tech students! Awesome stuff ✔️💯🤓🙏🏽🤩👍🏽🎯💪🏽

I watched your Job interview Q&A before my job interview and I got hired! Everything you mentioned was the questions that they asked me! Thanks a lot. Now I’m watching this ! My first day is this coming Tuesday, Im very nervous. Wish me luck! Your videos are very helpful.

I got upgraded from CSA to Designated Hitter and i’m very nervous because i know nothing about medicine or insurance or anything. Thank you for this!

Thank you so much for the video. I am starting my externship at Walgreens tomorrow. I am a little bit nervous but excited at the same time. Wish me luck.

Love the lights on the wall

Got hired about a week ago, I was hired as a customer service associate and I agree with most people that training is kinda non existent but I caught on pretty good after 5 days, as im not afraid to ask questions. One of my managers said I could transfer to pharmacy and I cant remember what she said id be doing but she said I would be doing register and then 4 hours of pharmacy a week. I hope it is not a hard process and im going to become a pharmacist when I go to college this year. Im hoping to get a taste of the pharmacy environment and be 100% sure

I really appreciate you sharing this information with those who want to work as a pharm tech. I 'm taking my certification course on Oct 16th, online, self paced, and I heard it's a lot to know . I was told to even dedicate 12-16 hrs for this course. I am so excited to start learning pharmacology at the moment and later on for my nursing school. I thought this would be a good start for me to get my foot in the door after looking for healthcare jobs online through indeed. I did get an offer, but the shifts that they offered were always night, which i dont ever want to work nights 😢 Hopefully the outcome for this cert is different ❤ 🙏

Just did my interview yesterday! I’m pretty confident that they’ll hire me :)

I’m 18 and I just got hired recently. This is my first job and I’m nervous! Thank you so much for your videos!

This was really helpful thank you for posting this video. Good to know these tips for the future. I'm 18 and planning to go to my local college to do a career technical certificate program they offer for pharmacy technician hopefully in the fall and was just trying to figure out what would be supplies/essentials to take to school. What would you say are things in your bag to have as a pharmacy tech student?

I’m already a pharmacy technician but I started at a smaller pharmacy. Just got hired at Walgreens & waiting to see when I’m starting. I’m SUPER nervous about learning a new system!

Update: Got the job as a pharmacy Technician for Walgreens and I love it!

Heyy just curious about the education portion/ hiring process? At what point were you told to become certified or go to school for training and how long was that. I’m super interested in applying to the internship?? but nervous about them rejected my application bc I’m not enrolled in the certificate course yet, lmk thanks girl... ps I’m accidentally on my boyfriends KZfaq account again 🙄😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Seems like a pretty nice job!

Watching your video now since I was just got hired at an Albertsons pharmacy as a technician after my two month externship with CVS since my license was issued a few weeks ago in California plus I was done with my CSA job with Walgreens so I put in my two weeks today !

I applied Thursday night, Got a phone call on Friday morning and was asked if I could come in the same day at 2:00 PM to interview and got a job offer around 4:30 PM the same day!

I don’t work at Walgreens. Could I ask them if they have a PhT position and training available or do you have to work for the company, and hopefully get picked to do it? I’d love to become a pharm tech!!!

I work at Walgreens too 🥺 I made a year this past december and I have gotten so far and moved up.

This was very helpful! I start my first day on the 31 at a hospital 😃

first day tomorrow and am nervous, but thats normal for me. thanks for the video :)

Thank you so much! I just applied to Walgreens and Rite Aid as a pharmacy technician in training, the assessment test for Walgreens was so intimidating. My first choice is Walgreens but I'd be ecstatic either way!

I just got an interview at riteaid for a tech in training (I have no experience, I am 18) I'm so nervous. I had a mini interview on the phone (why do you wanna work here, some basic math questions and like average interview questions like how have you handled an issue etc.) And now I have an actual interview on Friday at a location.

Wow you're so sweet and very knowledgeable this was very helpful!

What subjects do I need to study to become a technology pharmacist?

Hey girl! I got my interview done today, they emailed me something regarding state board check and they want me to clear it and then i can start working as a pharm tech, i want to know what’s state board check? A test or something that i have to pass or just a background check??

Thank you for this video! I start externship at walgreens next month. How long did it take you to learn everything? I’m going to be doing part time I’m afraid it’s gonna take so long :(

i use to be a tech at Walgreens now i’m a Pharmacy Tech working from home. Working in Walgreens Pharmacy is easy, all you need is a set routine. Also, make sure you’re asking your Pharmacist questions not other techs.

I’m now a new pharmacy technician lol we spoke before I actually got a job. Thanks for the advice. You inspired to actually start my channel lol just thought I’d give you a update not sure if you remember

Can you do Walgreens university and then take your exam instead of getting to school?

Thanks for sharing

I'm not sure if you're still active here but I thought it'd be worth a shot to ask anyway, do you remember how long it took you to get started after doing your fingerprint session? I want to schedule it asap because it says it will take 6 weeks minimum to be able to work in pharmacy after applying with the state board. I would love to hear your experience with onboarding since it's a bit nerve-wracking since the process is so lengthy!

I am working as Pharmacy assistant at the moment but I have no NVQ pharmacy services L2. I am prep. my self to do GCSE Math and English and biology for essential requirements to apply Apprtenship pharmacy Tech. Do u think is necessary we need to study NVQ pharmacy L2 first? Please advise x Is it important we need to NVQ L2 before apprenticeship pharmacy Tech? I am very passionate with this career x

I'm wanting to major in Health Sciences so i'm considering working in the pharmaceutical industry

I’m studying to get my pharmacy technician certification but my question is do you really need to remember all the medications and which medication does what for each part of the body?

right now im 18, turn 19 this year....I just saw an apprenticeship for pharm technician, it sounds cool. but what if I dont have any prior experience, or is this to help new people by training them?

Hello am aiming for pharmacy technician position and I want to make sure I'm all set and ready when the time comes hopefully soon but i honestly been feeling bit doubtful cuz Idk where to start.. I just have a question anyone that works in pharmacy. What all things do I need to study and memorize to work for a pharmacy. This would be very helpful for me to move forward in my studies and I be so grateful anyone that be able to reply back. Thank you. 🙏♥️💊🏥

I have my interview tomorrow for Rite Aid and I'm kinda nervous. What are some questions will they ask? I'm a college freshman and this will be my first ''real'' job.

just know it’s more fast paced, i only worked one day on the floor and got moved to pharmacy. no experience. the people there are very helpful. they are fast. at first it just gonna be shadowing, then maybe 2-3 hours end of ur shift they gonna let you try it out. your gonna cry for help, after 2-3 days you’ll get the hang of it then it will run smooth but there will still be thing syoulll ask for help

How long did your training take? I will be starting sometime this week. I’m super excited!

Pharmacy tech here. Worked as a tech at a hospital for a year ended up quitting and going back to school for surgical technologist. So I’ll have CPhT and CST with associates degree of applied science! As a National board certified pharmacy technician the pay was sad!

Hi, Rosa. Thank you so much for this video. I wanted to ask if you kept up your pharmacy tech certification after leaving walgreens? If so, how?

Helli Rosa! Great video.. just wondering i have a Bachelor’s degree in sciences but not a Pharmacy Technician Certificate. I got called for an interview at CVS.. how much do you think they will pay?

Do you have to get a Pharmacy Tech Trainee License before you apply for the apprenticeship or do they help you get one when you start?

Hello! Did you have any experience relating to this job before you got it?

Hi loved your video quick question. How about if you don't pass the exam then what happens? will you still be able to work as a pharmacy tech or is it a requirement to be certified?

Hello. I just got offered the position of pharmacy technician at Walgreens. I am waiting for my background check to be completed. Thank you for this informative video.

Im 17 and got a job as a pharmacy tech and this helped me

I’ve been working as pharmacy tech trainee for more than a month and I’m really struggling still. Maybe it’s just not for me ? Idk I just wanna quit already, I feel like if I get it down and starts remembering more things quicker than I’d understand

how long dose it take to get a word back about your application usually? I submitted mine on the 27th of December and still havent heard anything and it still shows it as under review :(

First day behind the pharmacy. No experience at all. They showed me how to do pickups and bin orders and I did covid tests all day is that good for my first day?

Hello! I hope you're doing well! Recently I applied for customer service in Walgreens and they invited me to apply for pharmacy tech. I don't have any pharmacy background or license... should I apply anyway?

Mam I completely my B pharmacy in india can I work as pharmacist technician what the setp I can follow for pharmacy technician please help me thanks

I'm starting my internship soon, but I'm extremely nervous about knowing my drugs.

I can't wait to get my Certification 🙌🏾

I just got hired as a pharmacy cashier, at Walgreens my first day is alot of training on the computer and i'm so overwhelmed and I don't learn as fast. Is there anything specific I should pay special attention to at first they are throwing alot at me

I just started my job as being a pharmacist technician. Even though I'm training the worst part about this job is the insurance / computer system. Do you have any tips on how to learn that?

I've been wanting to be a pharmacy technician.. but I'm little scared cause I'm introvert.. do you need to study to get the certification or just training in computer? Thanks

They told me to go in on Tuesday , I’m SOOO nervous . I have no experience at all & it will be my first “real” job. It’s not Walgreens or CVS it’s actually a local small pharmacy , would it still be the same? But anyways, I hope I do get it & will learn fast . Wish me luck🥺

Hi! I started last week in the pharmacy at Walgreens in Hood River, OR but I’m like freaking out it’s super busy and intense. I won’t get my certification until probably like 4-6 weeks. And then I’ll get my license but will have two years to study and take the exam. I feel so lost like I won’t be able to do it.

Just got hired on, I’m excited to start soon

Do you have to know every single pill in the arsenal?? Or is that something that you can develop the longer you work there?

How long is Walgreens pharmacy tech apprenticeship? I applied and am waiting to hear back from them.

quick question : so let’s say i want to quick working at walgreens , since this is my first job how would i tell them bc i’m so nervous about telling them that i want to quit , so how can i tell them 😩

Hello, I took a pharm tech class last year and planning on taking the test by the end of this year. I am planning to go to college out of state next fall, would it be fine to work only 7-8 months then move to a different place?

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to pass the assessment test for the pharmacy technician position. Can I have some helpful tips on passing it? I’ve tried once and they told me to try again. 🥺

How was your hiring process like? I was hired and took the drug screen last week. But since the drug screen I did not receive any further email from them yet.

I’m a DH and had my first shift in the pharmacy today. I contemplated writing notes but I literally had no time. Always something to do. 😭 Any advice?

I have an interview coming up for a pharmacy technician trainee, no prior experience, hoping i get hired and hoping everything goes good for me

I just got promoted to be a “DH” which is a customer service assistant/pharmacy tech I’m soo nervous and don’t know what to expect in the pharmacy!! Pls lmk I’m fine as a CSA

Howd you transitioned from lab to pharmacy? What made you do it?

When your a tech in training... Once you been there a few months of course your learning but do you have to be fast.. like run to this in the pharmacy.. run do that. Fill this.. or can you just be at your own speed and get the job done?.. I asked my pharmacist when can I start taking my courses towards my exam??. She said when " she feel as though my speed is up more" smh.. that comment almost made me put my 2 weeks in.

I got hired as a pharm tech 2 weeks ago at Rite Aid. I know Walgreens and Rite Aid are two different companies but I am nervous. I have no prior experience and haven’t been trained yet. Any advice for a rookie?

Oh lord I have so many Walgreens stories good luck ! Been at Walgreens since 2012😭

do you think working as a pharmacy technician is something you could work at forever ?

What are you supposed to wear on the first day ?

Hey Rosa just wondering did your Walgreens uniform pants have pockets or adjustable belt.

I’m 17 and I just started working at Walgreens as cashier and they want me in pharmacy I’m like oh hell Naa but they are going to pay me more so I’m like okay but I don’t get it 😭😭

No I want to add on to this video as it is not AS informative... straight up! Pharmacy is fast-paced! I’m the job looks slow on the outside but it’s actually fast especially if your working at a busy location I work in Dallas Tx in a upscale area doctors who call in prescriptions can be very very demanding and rude this job is NOT one to take personal or feel to happy about I quickly realize it’s good pay but you’ll be working for tht pay meaning you’ll be standing on your feet you’ll be expected to show up on time no slacking what so ever and we at Walgreens get one break it’s when ALL THE TECHES AND PHARMACISTS go to lunch for ONLY 30 mins and when you come BACK from lunch the line and drive through is long of people waiting on their promised time medications ! Also people drop off their prescription and are expecting it to be ready right away ! Don’t be nervous just the reality is this isn’t a fun job if you can’t handle pressure and no your not stupid either if you can’t catch ok NEVRR give up never ! Just breathe and know that it does take time also on the back of prescription papers you can read how to pronounce a word!

Anyone know like what's the morning shifts? I'm interested in trying but I would need a morning part time..

Rosa tienes este mismo video en espanol? seria muy exitoso Saludos

So, you have to work for 6 months and then Walgreens offer you to go to school to become certified ?

My local Walgreens is hiring and hoping I get an interview.

I've recently applied for a pharmacy tech position at CVS, with no experience, any do's and dont's?

I'm in Illinois should I do online class first to become a tech?

Where can i find these kind of shirts to use under the scrubs? Thanks

I keep getting denied automatically when I apply for the apprenticeship position. Do you know why this would be and how I can get around it? (It may be bc I didn’t pass the assessment but it won’t let me retake) Would it be okay to call and ask the pharmacy?

Is there anyway you can do a video on the hiring, mostly the interview process especially if you’ve never at a pharmacy job before? 🥰

How smart do you need to be? I got hired at CVS and they are gonna train me to be a pharmacy tech but I’m SO scared for all the math and the certification test

Hey, i really want to apply for this job, i'm studying by myself at home. Is it possible to get hired if you actually dont know that much about too many drugs and do they require anything before apply for apprenticeship? I heard my friend said that i need to get Pharm Tech Trainee at Board of Pharmacy, is it true? Thank you

Im starting as a pharmacy dispenser on Thursday

As a new hire do you purchase your uniform for do they pay for it. Cause I see its asking for my payment information for the uniform
