LEARN HOW TO BECOME A PHARMACY TECHNICIAN WITH THE ADVICE OF REAL PEOPLE
This Question From Pharmacy Technician Salary | 2 Answers
I just got a job the other day as a pharmcy tech for CVS. They will pay for my certification wich is good. My plan is to get about a years experience there and then try to get a job at a hospital pharmacy because I heard they pay better…true?? Would this be a good career? Money wise? I know its not going to make me rich but will I live pretty comfortably on this salary after a few years experiences and raises? I live in Oklahoma. Anybody who works as a pharmacy tech I would love to know hoe it is working for you! How long have you been doing it? Do you like it? Good raises? Hospital or retail? Good benefits? And anything else you would like to add!

get certified on cvs’ dime, quit cvs and work for a hospital. 3 reasons 1 better pay, 2. better benifets (health insurance, retirement, ect. ) 3. you don’t have to deal with idiot customers. I am a pharmacist and i love my customers, but most of these people are not well mentally and some may be addicted to drugs, it’s best to stay away from these types of people. Also when you work in a hospital, you get to meet other people in the healthcare field. From pharmacy tech, you can move to resp. tech, ultrasound tech, radiology tech and so forth. If your not sure what you want to do; being in the hospital environment allows you to see other fields so you can make better descicions in life.

I also, work for CVS pharmacy as a Tech. I know you get paid better if you actually go to college and take the certified courses to be an actual tech. I believe it’s a two year program. I’ve been working on and off for CVS since 2005. If you enjoy that type of work, then stick with it. I believe hospital pharmacies pay the same. Though, of course, the rate fluctuates with experience. Obviously.
Personally, I plan on going to Pharmacy school. I’m still doing my undergrad, though once I’m accepted *fingers crossed*, they do have an intern program.
I wish you luck. Feel free to drop me an e-mail if that was any help.
