DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PHARMACY TECHNICIAN 💊 

Hey guys! I just posted in my community tab here on RU-vid feel free to drop any detailed questions you have in there! I will be doing a Pharmacy Technician Q & A pt. 2 including wayyyy more information! ❤️

As a pharmacist, I just wanna say that you are greatly appreciated. You are a good tech in ensuring that the pharmacy workflow runs smoothly.

My wife just scored a job here in our home town pharmacy. Small pharmacy. But just a couple blocks from our home. I’m happy for her! She’s excited

I'm starting to look into this as a possible career. It was awesome to get an ACTUAL look at what the day-to-day is for working! thank you so much for posting this!

Girl I finished my first week as a pharm tech in training in retail. Your pharmacy looks so chill I’m jealous 😭

The Nclex exam is very difficult to pass, I can't believe i failed after studying with so many materials😞

I’m 10 years in. Doesn’t even feel like it really as it’s all been a blur. Retail, Mail Order, Refills Departments, Prior Authorizations. Many different avenues I’ve seen.Even took a break to become a truck driver but eventually dusted the old Tech license off. It’s nice to be able to jump back in the pharmacy world easily as they always need techs.

I worked as a pharmacy tech for 3 years!! and damn im jealous you guys have the counting machine!! we did all the counting manually, and it was a looot, especiallu for 180 pill prescription and stuff.

I'm a pharmacist and you seem like such an awesome technician to work with!

I’m happy I found your video. I start school next month and already some people are discouraging me . Saying it’s nothing but stress and it’s complicated. But I think going to school to do this is part of my journey and your video is inspiring. Thank you .💕 stay blessed and I hope to do a good job like yourself.

It is my second day as an externship student at retail Pharmacy. First day was filing in prescription. I have to see how taking in calls and talking to customer will be. Thank you for showing us the day to day work.

I just found your channel, I hope you're still a technician. I've been a pharmacy technician for around three months now and I love it! Challenging and rewarding at the same time.

We need more these videos!! So proud of you girl ❤️ - La’Tavia

Sundays at Kroger look chill. Congrats on your 1 year anniversary as a tech!:) Keep it going, you will find better pay opportunities at clincics and hospitals.

I work at a HEB Pharmacy as a heb Pharmacy Representative in the front, I’m truly thankful working at the Pharmacy they changed my life and opened my eyes to a new world I never thought of being in, but Pharmacy Technicians come in so clutch for me when I’m asking for a re-bill with insurance on a prescription, they are so busy but they still take the time to help me out and I thank them all the time because they do so much at my work❤️ Everyone at my works plays an important role but techs at my work are my favorite!

Thanks for this video! I have been so nervous over the weekend. Had a week in training already and got so nervous suddenly. Videos like this really help me to relax.

This video is probably the most helpful I’ve seen on RU-vid. I just applied to 2 different pharmacies to be a tech (in training) and this gives me a lot of hope. Thanks so much!

Kenni! Thank you for your wonderful video. This is great for people who are interested in working at a pharmacy. Keep up the amazing work!

Girl I NEEDED this video I start training next week (I was lucky to find a pharmacy technician apprenticeship job) and I'm excited but also nervous as heck! But seeing kind of an idea of what my work days would look like, really help. Thank you so much! 🖤💖

Thank you for sharing your time and. Thank you for keeping a positive energy through your day at work its gratefullyappreciated. I'm actually looking forward to becoming a pharmacy technician for 2024. ❤

I'm watching this video less than a month after I completed my pharmacy tech externship at a small CVS pharmacy. What's shown in this video solidly jibes with what I experienced as an extern. So this is a good solid video for showing what a day in the life of a pharmacy tech is like. Its difficult to portray the pharm. tech. workday without violating HIPPA, but Kenna did so as well as anyone could. Well done, Kenna!!

Your making meeeee want to go ahead & just do it 😩 I worked at Walgreens before and I always say I’m not going back to customer service but you make me feel like it will all be okay going back as a PT

I am happy to see all. There is interesting to work when I see you. You are very active girl. Congratulations! We all are same Pharmacy family.

Thanks so much for uploading! I've been considering this as a career and I was so nervous because I thought it'd be super difficult. I'm sure it's not easy and it's stressful, but it doesn't look as difficult as I thought it would.

I’m excited for my externship this fall, thanks for sharing!

A work of art!!🤞🏾❤️

Omg i work at Kroger too been working there for 3 years now! I loved how you informed everyone on what it’s like being a pharm tech it was very thorough and you didn’t violate hipaa lol love your channel I subscribed! ❤😂 an do y’all still have the whit bags ours is brown now!!

I definitely enjoyed this video and wishing you happiness and success coming your way 🤩💖💖

Thanks for the video! I start as a tech this week and I'm so excited/nervous!

I just subscribe and liked this video i absolutely loved it on how chill and easy it is to work as TP and also not going home super late because as a single mom it’s not easy so I’m thinking of going to school and study for this and become/do better for my daughter.

I felt this whole video 😂😂 this is me all dayyyyy

Thank you for this video! I am looking into doing classes for pharmacy technician to start the new year off and this video really peaked my interest for it!

Please!!! Do more of these. I’m 16 and thinking about getting my first job here, I love anything medical.

I miss smiths pharmacy..been a tech for 15 years. I sound old but it's nice to see newbies joining the crew.

I start Monday at Walgreens and I am so nervous this made me feel a little less scared and I love your attitude I can only pray I can be as confident as you as I progress

Where I work as a tech is nowhere near as chill. We have hundreds of scripts a day and can't fill them when we are all at registers or drive thru 🙃. Firm believer that pharmacies shouldn't have drive thru's. It's not fast food, it makes it harder on stores like mine to fill all the 300+ scripts we get a day. Most of the time their meds aren't ready or we don't even have the script. Always praise the drive thru people who prepay or at least know they have meds ready

Yesssss!!! You an awesome pharmacy technician!! I am starting school in 2 weeks for pharmacy technician!! I’m so excited but yet nervous!! Congrats on your one year!!

I loved your video! I’ve been in the medical field for awhile, but have not worked in a pharmacy before. I was just hired as a pharmacy technician in NY state. I start next week and I’m a little nervous on starting a new career path! If all goes well I will start studying for PTCB exam to become certified. Your video was good for me to view. Thank you so much!

Heavy on the “no ones home we don’t want to talk” them things do not stop ringing

I'm an LVN and seriously thinking about taking a Pharmacy Tech course. This video gave me great insight!

I was thinking of going to school to be a pharm tech, thank you for sharing what it's about. ❤

This video convinced me to apply for a pharmacy technician trainee program in my area. Thanks!

i just started a job as a PT, and i love how you made me feel watching the video of my job im like 2 weeks in with no experience! and thanks so much for sharing your experience and opinions

this hard 100!!! I appreciate this video I just got offered a position from home and needed to get a lil insight on what I need to say in the interview

Love your energy ✨ new subbie !

I’m so jelly of how chill your day was. Cvs is hectic

Love the pharmacy tech vids, more please

I'm in a pharm tech course and really wondered what I was looking at. And this was a great look at it and I'm excited for sure! Thanks for sharing!

Yes I work as an insurance specialist and I call the pharmacy a lot through out my day of work to help my customers and the pharmacy with certain claims. It’s a Win win but hopefully I can do pharmacy tech one day ❤

I’m currently about to start my training as a pharmacy tech in a couple of weeks once my license get here I am really looking forward to it !

I love ❤ this vid because i always wonder what it looks like behind the pharmacy counter or what they do to stock or package the meds for people. I know it will take some time for the pharmacist to do all of this, so i don't mind patiently waiting for my meds. At least this vid, kinda make some kinda visualisation in my mind what can happen behind the scene. Oh on some days when i took my meds, i can see the pharmacist or technician kinda look as if they went thru a hurricane 😂. I'm like thank you for the correct meds and good job for doing a great job 👏

thank you, Miss, kenni

Yay I just started at my local Kroger pharmacy this makes me highly excited to keep going ❤

Hi Kenn I work for Kroger also as a pharmacy Tech. It’s Ralphs in California though 🫶🏽 Been with Kroger for almost 15 years. Pay just got increased which is good. Ralphs is chill compared to Walgreens 🤩🤩

Love your videos. I been certified since April 5th 2016. Pharmacy Technician is a tough profession but I wouldn't change it for anything.

Thank you for your video, I’m 55 and making a career change. I’m less intimidated after watching your video.

this was great! I'm currently in the Pharmacy Technician program and I have two more months before I start my externship and this helped me get an idea on how the pharmacy works!

please please do a Q&A ! I am seriously trying to get back into the medical world and I was going to apply for this on the job training pharm tech but i'm still questioning it. I live with my boyfriend and already make good money but it's not something that I want to do anymore so now i am interested in being a retail pharm tech to get my foot in the door. Is this still a liveable wage? Can you make good money even if you work at retail? I definitely want to go to school for this and work at a hospital one day but I need more information on this! Please and thank u🥰 Also, is working with customers difficult? I've worked in fast food once and had struggled from time to time but it's been about 3-4 years since.

seems like a hectic hard job, but you very good and fast at it.

Thank you for making this video. 😚

I have been working as a CNA for nine years now. I have been thinking about becoming a Pharmacy Technician just to try something different.

I am training to be a pharmacy technician. I start in about a week, but I am watching your video now to learn some of what I'll be doing

I just started a Pharmacy technician course at my college (right after graduating from there as well.) Is starting pharmacy technician at a retail store fir the first time, always a little challenging

I like the way you do it 😊

Hi Kennedy!!❤❤ You may not remember me from West Brook High School? Makia? I am so glad to not only see you do your thing but also another pharmacy technician that works at Kroger too. I will keep learning from you!!❤

I would like to see part 2!! :)

Love it. I'm half way through school to get certified for PT. :) How many hours per week do you you usually work in the pharmacy per week? Can it be overwhelming?

I've been doing Pharmacy tech for 4 months now and it's first time for me officially in medical field. All new routine for me and I always struggle with people's insurance and when they come in and they're not ready they be getting mad and needy. Pre Vers, Data entry, adjudication PA, I get scared to tell people it's not ready. Their Dr needs to stop telling them it should be ready by the time they get there. It's been a rough week for us bc a closing Pharmacy is closing and merging in. I don't think there's an ending to a Pharmacy life story lol. Bless our hearts we some time don't even get a break. Trying our very best to push out people's med. But kudos to you!!! Sorry my story is kinda choppy just don't know where to start 😂😆😂

I'm just done with all class for PT and start to externship this thursday at a medical group :( hopefully its not too bad. after see your video i can get to understand a little more of the wokr

Great stuff, i'll be doing that job next year!

Love the video!! Im a technician at CVS, and I’ve been wanting to make a video like this… but im nervous to just prop my phone up and film. Did you have to ask permission or did you just start filming? Anyway, just subscribed, cant wait to see more vids like this!

You're gorgeous...love your lashes 😍

LMAOOO “im being dramatic, it wasn’t even that bad” me anytime I have a good day at the pharmacy 💀💀

I loved the video. Thinking of doing this training soon! How do you learn all the insurance stuff? Do they teach you in the training to become a tech or once you have job in the pharmacy? Thank you. Going to look and see if you have more videos:)

U make it seem so chill I heard bad stories

At the moment I'm going to school for so short my bachelor's and so sure I do plan on getting my masters in social work, however I do have a disability and I was thinking that if social work doesn't work out for me what can I do for work as a full-time you know job or career if social work you know doesn't work out for me because of my physical disability so I looked into a pharmacy technician just to see what they do and I really like your video you really show you know the life of what the job actually entails I really enjoyed your video

I’m so looking forward to starting my class next month. It’s online

I’m studying to be a technician and I am so glad I came across this video. It motivated me to keep going 🥹

I'm so excited to work as a pharmacy tech soon! Applied to 5 jobs, hopefully good news soon!

This was super interesting thanks for sharing!!

Great video !💗 Would you say this would be a good job for a college student ? Flexible schedule?

I will be graduating from pharmacy technician college here in Nigeria, in August. I'm writing my final college exams, also the PCN examination is in August. I can't wait to start working

thanks im deciding what to do this gives me insight

Currently getting my pharmacy tech degree. I am a CNA now so I know this is different. I graduate June 19 2022

I’m a pharmacy tech at Kinney drugs, but the one I work at stays open until midnight. When all the other pharmacies close we get the rush of all urgent cares and it’s crazy busy

Your video was better then the others thank you! I'll be working for cvs pharmacy 😀soon.

i am watching this two weeks before I begin pharmacy tech school and I am nervous but excited., do you have tips or advice on the profession and classes. Thanks and Loved the video keep it going !!!!!!

You made this job looks so good. I worked at cvs for a month then I quit, it was too stressful. But I’m thinking about going to school and be certified which is better.

I am a senior in high school… class of 2022. 💟 I’m looking into becoming a pharmacist… or going into nursing school & Please continue to make these videos!!

As a new tech in training it’s so nice to see that others run as ours do…. Hand counting sucks

I used to work for CVS as a Pharmacy Assistant in training to be a Pharmacy Tech. (I know, I didn’t know they did that either without a certified degree) Anyways, it was really fun and different. Very very busy during the week like you said. Lots of crack heads coming in trying to buy needles. (At the time I was never notified that I would get people like that so I accidentally sold someone one) the pharmacist was sweet and patient with me but the other techs were rude and impatient with my training. I ended up leaving because I moved 2 hours away from that city I was working in. I’m in the insurance industry rn but in thinking of switching careers.

I watched this video before I applied for a pharmacy tech job, and I've been working about a month so I decided to watch this again tonight and its hilarious how much it's all RELATABLE compared to when I first watched! Haha besides the icon.... girl I'll be countin pills 5 at a time 😅

One question: did u need to take chemistry as an alevel, as I REALLY want to do pharmacy or pharmacy technician but I despise chemistry. Just doing my GCSE’s rn and idk what option to choose. Btw, LOVE ur videos x

I just started working in a pharmacy and learning all the computer systems is gonna KILL ME! Insurance companies suck lmao.

Thank you!

What I have noticed a few times is an inconvenience in the drive thru. It seems that sonetimes people take their rx to be filled and wait in the drive thru for 20-30 min. This causes people that just came to pick up a long wait time. It would be nice to tell those customers that they need to come back in 30 minutes to pick up because they hold up the line. It is a drive thru for pick up only not for waiting for the script to be filled. It is very inconsiderate of others.

I’ll take this job any day over having to sell clothes to people or have to work in a restaurant. It’s retail but it’s not tooo retail hehe

How much calculating do you have to do? Or is that mostly computerized? Also, how much converting from standard to metric and vice versa? Or is that computerized too??

WOOOW congratulation gal,watching from nairobi kenya,,hope to come and work as a pharmacy technician in usa after qualifying for a green card
