Certified Senior Pharmacy Technician

September 2015 • Franklin, NJ

What I liked

I love the pharmacy and being able to learn about all the different types of drugs and also helping patients. it also helps immensely with my social anxieties and being around co-workers and patients for the day. I love working with all of my co-workers.

What I wish was different

I wish that there was more room to move up in position, unfortunately a Certified Senior Tech is the highest i can achieve in the pharmacy without being an actual Pharmacist.

Advice

it takes a lot of work and patience to be able to work with difficult patients as well as working under pressure of having to fill things in a timely matter, know how to type prescriptions, look up patient info, being able to answer questions, deal with doctor's offices and insurance companies. It takes a lot of practice and learning to do it efficently and effecetively.

What I liked

I liked meeting a variety of people and learning how a store operates behind the scenes. Learning how to products are organized and having several interpersonal interactions helped me learn to how better communicate with others.

What I wish was different

I think that the organization of the business needs some work. When I got there, there was a shift in managerial staff, so they had a lot of issues adjusting.

I would say that this job teaches you patience and humility in a way that is hard to learn elsewhere.

Pharmacy Technician

June 2016 - August 2019 • Cartersville, GA

I liked that I learned about many medications and what they do and how the prescription gets processed. As a prospective med school student it made me aware to the issues I will need to address to make sure all prescriptions for patients are processed safely and efficiently.

What I wish was different

The pace was very quick with drive Thru service and I wish I had worked more outside of the drive Thru talking to patients in the store.

Advice

It’s very fast paced, you are on your feet for the day, you learn a lot of information, and you’ll be working in a team oriented environment so you need to be working together and it’s important to help other technicians if you are free. There is always something to do and help with!
