Hi Zahraali,

Welcome to the study group and I wish you the best of luck for your exam in

March.

You have come to the right place for help with your studies. Whenever you

get stumped on a question just post away and Im sure you will get a reply

from one or several people. Again good luck with the exam

tracie

[Guest guest]

Dear Zahra,

You can never study enough or be too prepared to take the PTCB or

any other test fo r that matter, e4xcept you need a god night's sleep

just before the exam!

Dora, my moderator has pointed out that this site will become very

active closer to the time of the test. This is true. However I ask

that you pass the word to your pharmacy employer and perhaps post

this site address for technicians.

Again please utilize the archives of former questions that were asked

for the last 2 years before th e change from Delph to . Study

them and then you will feel comfortable in posting your questions. We

are here to help you to study.

Tell us how long have you been a tech or a pharm student and what

stae are you in?

Take care

Post when you can,

Jeanetta Mastron

> yes, I took the practice test the first time I logged on the site.

I scored 58. Need some serious studying:)

brought you to this site? I can't say I ever wanted to work in an aerospace

Hi Zahra ali-

I love my job and hope you will enjoy the pharmacy field as much as I

have. You will learn something new everyday---guaranteed!

Are you currently enrolled in a pharmacy tech training program?

Jeanetta is an instructor in CA and will be able to provide you with

much information regarding tech requirements for CA. She's also added

some of the CA tech laws under the 'Files' section located on the

left side of your screen.

Would you please tell me more about your current job? It sounds

interesting.

Best Wishes,

Dora

Dear Zahra Ali

I have worked in Antimonial Lead and Lead Batteries, Lead based and

non-ferrous based metals as well as ferrous metals, wire, mesh, sheet

and nails and have worked with hazardous waste of the said

industries especially the Fiber Optic industry ( HF! yuck!), and

developed the " Splice of Light Kit " and a specific acrylic coating

for American Fiber Optics (no longer in business). My work was both

chemical and physical testing and other wise, in-process, raw

material testing QA/QC, hazardous waste disposal, safety management,

Research and development. At times I miss the lab rat stuff and the

interacting with the all male crews! But all in all I have had much

more personal growth and fulfillment as an educator.

If you are unsatisfied with your work with a higher degree, you are

not alone! Tell us more about what you want to do with your pharmacy

technician certificate.

I am here for your questions! Glad to know that you like the site and

feel at home.

If I can be of any personal assistance to you do not hesitate to

email me at rxjm2002hotmail (DOT) com

To all the new members (boy there are lots this time),

Welcome. This group is AWESOME!!!! We all have our experiences that

hopefully we can all share with you to help with the diagnosis/life of PID.

Feel free to ask any question that you may have.

[Guest guest]

A Big Welcome to all the new members. I am very new hear as well. My daughter

recently diagnosed Igg deficiency and has received her second infusion

IVIG recently. I can relate to what you are all feeling right now. It is a

bit overwhelming at first, still is actually, but hang in there because you have

come to the right place.

I took the advice of this board and contacted the National Immune Def.

Foundation. They sent a very informative packet full of great information and a

wonderful video explaining PID. It was very very helpful, especially for my

husband to read and understand. The support and encouragement I have received

from this board is unbelievable. I was at my wits end when I found them, and by

the Grace of God am coping much better these days as a result. I find it very

difficult to discuss with any one in my family as they have no idea what

it is like, and I feel as though sometimes I am burdening them with my woes.

Friends are always willing to listen, but again everyone has there own problems

and they really do not understand. I was amazed at how truly genuine the

concern was when I first posted here. It was so comforting to know that others

could not only identify with what I was saying, but could offer helpful

constructive suggestions that made my journey so much easier!!!!

God Bless all of you, and a great big hug as well.

nice to have people to talk to that really know what we are going

through. My name is Karin, my son is IgA def. It took forever

to diagnose him. Your Children(?) are? Thanks again for the welcome.

Lets keep in touch please.

-Hi. Just wanted to jump in and say hello and thanks for the welcome.

I am so glad to have finally found a site where people actually know

what i am talking about. Will be here alot. My son is has IgA

Immune Deficiency. None at all. He was diagnosed as a baby. He is

now 11. Thanks again for the welcome. Please keep me updated on

Autumn and Duncan. You really should have him tested....better to

know for sure don't you think? I would be more affarid of not

knowing. Good Luck.

Yes a great WELCOME the NEWEST members. How brave of them to drop in

right near the last exam! Were ya last minute studiers? or new

students? Hee! Actually it does not matter. All are welcome!

If you are studying for the next exam, be prepared to see maan posts

regarding the 'terrrible wait' for the test results, and thank yous

(we hope and love) and also comments about how hard or easy it was.

BUT THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER MINUTE TO BEGIN

YOUR POSTS OF QUESTIONS!! However before you being asking aaway I

suggest that you read all Dicsussion Tutorials and Tutorials in

the " File " section (documents).

There is also a file of a review that I did on some books and study

guides that may interest you. You may wish to purchase a book the

review may help you decide which one.

Take care and ask away we are here for you.

Dearest New Members,

I too WELCOME you to this site. Please be sure to read all that has

been sent to you. I perpared the long letter with you in mind. It

would be best if you 'keep' the letter for a while. When you have

question as to whether or not this site provides a service or

document or link etc. go to that letter it may direct you to

an 'area' or a person of this site. There is just too much in that

letter for most people to 'get' all at once!

Check out a few links and files each day/week as time permits. You

will be amazed what is on this site!

When you have researched an area as much as you can, then ask your

question, we are right here waiting to help you out.

Dearest New Members,

Allow me to personally welcome you to my site. I am sorry that this

is a bit late in the welcoming. I am an instructor and program

director and have been going through accreditation. This is much

like JACHO inspection. I havae 4 in a row!! Been very busy.

But I do hope that you will find time to read all that I have sent

you and know that there is much more in the document files that will

help you. so before you post a question, check out the files for a

tutorial or other discussion tutorial etc that may help you and then

when you ask the question it willhelp us to help you better if you

have studied beforehand.

Please go back in time and read the last years worth of study

questions. To do so just scroll up and place the number 1 in

the " MSG# box " . It will search for the first posts from last summer.

From there you can read and follow any type of question that you

like.

The link section can lead you to drug lists and data banks,

abbreviations etc. More study information etc.

Looking forward to your questions. Do not get discouraged, this site

does not get too many questions until about 3 to 4 weeks before the

exam. At this time people who have been studying and who now have

enough information to base their quesions on, will begin to ask them.

Also those who are crammers begin asking questions at that time. We

do not care nor judge. We just hope that you get some good out of

this site. If you get a chance go tothe 'polls' section. there you

will see the actual results from people who have used this site.

I do hope that you will post a bit about yourself so that we can get

to know you. There are many lurking experience d techs just waiting

to help you with your questions!

Thank you Dora for the fine welcome to our new members. I too welcome

them all .

To the Newest members please note: This iste is a very axctive site

clser to the test date. It is NOT the way that WWE have planned it!

It is however the nature of humans to procrastinate to the last

minute to study for the exam. So about 3 to 4 weeks before the exam

we an increase in membership. At that time more questions are posted

and asked.

Please feel free to utilize this site at ANY time, to prepare for

your exam. Do NOT wait for the last minute! You are HERE now! So are

WE!!
