Posted on: For pharmacy techs, drugs easy to steal

us technicians need to push for a national standard. one where only certified techs are allowed to stand behind the bench.

a standard of mandatory continuing education modules.

not only will this weed out the unprofessional thieving techs, it's the only way to ensure the sustainability of this job. Am i going to stick around a job that would max out at $12 an hour? no.

A national standard of educated technicians who possess a minimal of an Associate Degree will give us the respect and living wage we deserve, improve patient care and filling accuracy.

Problem is, the big chains refuse it. They don't want to shell out the money.

Posted on: For pharmacy techs, drugs easy to steal

the larger portion of techs are trained, educated, honest, and hard working professionals. Those mentioned in the article are in the minority of the pharmacy world.

In my opinion, this article is unfair to the profession and portrays us a low-paid worker bees who will do anything unscrupulous for a quick buck.
