Re: A Pharmacy Tech. job in Chicago

[Guest guest]

Dear Tina,

I do not know the state law in Ill off the top of my head. But suffice

it to say that if the state requires you to be certified you will not

find a job opening, unless you are.

There may be clerical positions, but many states have done away with

clerks. So I direct you t the state board of pharmacy to review

requirements for pharmacy personnel in your state.

I am asking anyone from Ill to add to this post with their knowledge

of the state law.

Respectfully,

Tina,

We have live classes in the Chicago area that can prepare you for

your certification. You may want to visit

www.PharmacyTrainerSchools.com.

You may also call our office for additional info on the Illinois laws

for technician certification in Illinois (the law recently changed).

Our next class starts the first week of September.

We also sell many review books for the PTCB for students who wish to

study independently. (although with multiple trys at the test, I

would suggest the live classes if at all possible - our first try

pass rate for class graduates traditionally runs at about 94%)

You may call our office at 877-232-BE-A-TECH. (877-232-8324)

> Hi all,

The law in Illinois is changing. Beginning January 1, 2010, within 2

years of being employed as a pharmacy tech, PTCB (or another pharmacy

board approved exam) is required to continue working as a pharmacy

tech. This law applies to all techs hired after January 1, 2008.

For further info, go to www.idfpr.com, Pharmacy Practice Act (225

ILCS 85/9) Section 9.

Hi !

Thank you for adding this specific information about Illinois tech law.

MANY of the states are entertaining this same law.

It gets complicated in states like CA where education is the preferred

method, and allowing only PTCB is a 'watered' down method. but

Ultimately we are hoping to pass a req for both PTCB or toher approved

exam such as ExCPT AND education.

Nice to see you post! Wondered how you have been. If you are seeking a

job as a teacher, contact Mark (rxfiller) he may be hiring and you are

so experienced and have much to offer.

Mark if you are reading this and still have some teacing positions open

please post them.

Resepctfully,

Hi Jeanetta,

You're welcome. Nice to " see " you, too. Still happy doing nukes-no

patience for teaching, but I certainly appreciate your kind words.

Hope all is well with you and your family.
