Yeah, lots of people work at Walgreens or whatever as interns while going to Pharmacy school.  I think that you can starting at the end of your 2nd year.  They make pretty good money doing that.  There are alot of people that work at Walgreens as techs before that, too.  It doesn't seem like they think it's that hard to do both, but it depends on how good you are at school.

I don't know what you earn, but in the company I work for, I hire co-ops from xxxxxx University.  The tech department co-ops started at $18/hr the first year, and if we wanted them to stay, they were offered a $1/hour increase each year thereafter.  If they were good, we offered them to stay on after they graduated at $25/hr.\n\nMaybe you can  base your request on that.

a cardiology technician gets paid more, because its a  specialty. you do have to go through a four year program though. you can check this one out www.salary.com (its americian), it asks you for you zip-code  ( if you guys have that) and you can just type it in and see what areas pay what, or http://www.ccs.ca/home/index_e.aspx \n\nHOPE THAT HELPS.

I worked there back in '01 and it started at $7.50/hr, so its probably more now, however I think it varies at different locations, and whether you are hired as a bookseller or a cashier.

Check this link. I do not think Ohio State Board of Pharmacy offers licensure for technicians. Only thru national certification.\n\nhttp://www.ohiopharmacists.org/pdf_files/Become_a_CPhT

My wife is a pharmacist at a large hospital.  They are always looking for techs for the night shifts. If you are willing to work midnights, you should be able to walk in to just about any hospital with a 24hr pharmacy department and get a job. The midnight shift pays better too.

pharmacy, suprisingly, pays pretty well. i recommend business or economics if you dont want something so specialized.

The techs do a lot of the labor in terms of filling the scripts, pulling the meds, entering scripts in the computer, etc. but the pharmacist takes all the responsibility.  if you mess up a script (put the wrong medicine in the bottle, fill a prescription that shouldn't be filled due to an interaction or unusual SIG, etc.) and the script gets handed to somebody, the pharmacist will take the fall, not the tech, not even the MD who wrote it.  also, the pharmacist is supposed to counsel the patients on any new Rx, explaining how the med works, why the patient should take the med, how it should be taken, the side effects, etc.  it may seem like you're doing a lot of the work, but all you need to do to be a tech is graduate high school and take a test.  the pharmacist went to college for 4 years then graduate school for 4 years to become a licensed pharmacist.  if you're unhappy about technician pay (which I agree is way too low in most places) then think about going to pharmacy school, you're in good position to do so if you're already a technician.

Are you wanting to know what are the duties of a Pharm-Tech?\n\nReceiving prescriptions from customers and filling in the necessary information ( address, phone #, D.O.B., etc ... )\n\nTaking prescription refills over the phone\n\nTyping up the labels that go on the vials\n\nCounting out pills \n\nDusting shelves\n\nRinging up merchandise\n\nBasically you are the "right hand" of the pharmacist and do MOSTLY everything they do.  Their job is to double check your work.
