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.

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?
