How do you become a Pharmacy Technician?

Hello, I enrolled in a 6 month online course through NHA at Central Louisiana Technical Community College in January 2024 and finished August 2024. I passed my exam & received my candidate credentials in October. Since, I have been on a job hunt to work as a Pharmacy Technician. Many jobs I’ve applied to denied my application without cause. I need help with finding jobs in my career.

What kind of work is done in a pharmacy? What is your most favorite and least favorite part of working as a pharmacist? Why did you choose pharmacy as a career?

I'm currently starting trade school and I would like to get to know more information about the career I'm interested in getting into. I don't have any experience in working in a pharmacy, I've only worked retail before. I'm interested in getting into Pharmacy because I want to be able to help people in need. I hope to get a job at a hospital where I’ll hopefully make medicine for the patients that need it.

How do I begin my journey preparing for retail pharmacy

Throughout high school I've tried to keep pharmacy as my main goal but left options open like entrepreneurship. I want to do more than just science classes in school.

Is pharmacy a good alternative to nursing ?

I’m working on college applications and I’ve noticed that getting into nursing school is harder these days—harder than getting into pharmacy from what I’ve seen. Therefore I’ve been thinking of pharmacy as a backup plan. How different is pharmacy from nursing? I feel like there is only one job you can do with pharmacy and that’s obviously a pharmacist, but can you do another job with that degree? I’ve also heard there has been a decrease in student demand in pharmacy overall? Does the job contain a high-stress environment? What do you do exactly on the job?

Can you give me any tips to guide me in the pharmaceutical path? ?

I want to stick to the medical/pharmaceutical field, but I have questions about it. What majors and/or classes would be best to take a for a pharmaceutical pathway? How do pharmacists identify the medication someone has to take? What tips can you give me that may help me out in the future? I'm currently taking classes such as AP chemistry and biotech 1, but are there any other classes I should take before something like medical school? I don't know anyone who is a pharmacists, and I'm looking for someone who can help me answer my questions and give me tips along the way.

What positive and negative pharmacy experiences are you experiencing? Is it worth it these days??

I will be a senior next school year. And I hear there are lots of stress and pressure, and yelling from coworkers, managers, and patients. I was considering pharmacy, but I don't know if I should anymore. I see many pharmacists quitting on YouTube. Should I pursue a PharmD degree, or another career?
