Why You Want T o Be A Pharmacy Technician?

Answer:
i used to be a pharmacy tech and i really liked it.
you count pills, you answer phones, you can answer some questions, you do drug inventory, i got to do some compounding (so fun). its a job thats not physically demanding and it pays decent, especially if you are nationally certified.
It does get hard sometimes in dealing with patients; if they can't get their medication for some valid reason (insurance expired prescription) they tend to get emotional and the situation can get heated. other than that i really loved being a pharm tech.

i dispense medications in a large insitution. i am not a pharmacy teck . i did tell a friend to try it and she did. she makes good money working in a hospitail pharmacy . she likes the work.
i cant really think of a reason to not do that job. a person might get bored counting pills i suppose but there is a bit more to it then that.
here in canada you dont need to have the course to work under the supervision of the pharmacist. some people i know do that as well. overall i would say that is a good light job for a person .
not much stress no lifting overall a pretty good job.
i suppose a person in a large pharmacy might have some concern about the exposer to the different chemicals in the air dust from pills and fumes from some other drugs but i think only a pregnant women might need worry about that. she could wear a mask if she wanted . so thats about it.

To be honest I got into pharmacy because it is a valuable part of health care...but you don't have to touch anyone.
I really enjoy challenging myself and I find that being a tech allows me to do that.
