Hey everyone, I’m in a bit of a dilemma and could use some advice. I'm currently 19 and extremely fortunate in terms of finances. My parents are well-off, so I won’t have to pay for undergrad or med school, and I’ll even have a good amount of money to invest until I become a physician in my...

Hi all. Rising MS3 here. I've always been interested in tech (self-proclaimed Apple fanboy here) and I've always had a fascination with tech companies and their health initiatives, Apple being the first that comes to mind. That's the general direction I'm looking to get involved with coming out...

Hi! I am a recently accepted PT student and am looking at getting a new laptop for PT school. I am not the most tech-savvy person so I am looking for any advice possible. I've heard really good things about the iPad Pro but am hesitant on switching from a laptop to a tablet. All advice/insight...

Hi, I'm in need of some advice. I'm a recent grad since Spring 2019. I graduated with my chem degree and did a second major. I'm currently working as a pharm tech at a major retail chain before starting pharmacy school next year to gain as much knowledge, experience, and exposure as...

In 2012 (way before I was even considering med school), I attended a technical college for a marketing diploma. I ended up getting a great job opportunity and left, but didn’t drop my classes correctly, so I made 4 F’s. I’m back in college now, 5+ years later, and have a 3.85 (looking to improve...

It seems like for every 1 pharmacy internship position, there are 20 tech position openings. After many applications and some interviews for internships, I've got nothing. I really only want to work at a health system and would really only consider community if I had nothing else (even then I'd...

Depending on the area you live in, finding a pharm tech job may be easy or close to impossible. A few years ago when I decided on pharmacy, I remember the drive I had to find a job in a pharmacy as a tech, heck even as a volunteer or a shadower. Bottom line, many applicants overlook the...

I am an incoming third year pre-med student. I have gotten by on an HP laptop for the past few years but am looking into "upgrading" my tech for more vigorous study. I currently use a samsung galaxy tab 4 10.1" for light academic use and more for personal use. Many med students seem to...

Hello, everyone! I just wanted to give some study tips for the PTCE and what I think really helps. I was really nervous about taking this exam and desperately searched this website on the best way to study, so I just wanted to put my method all in one place. I ended up being really confident...

Hi all, I was trying to get the pharm tech certification and was mailed this letter: Does this mean I have to attach a new Self-Query Report from the NPDB and a new certified copy of PTCB certificate even though I had already sent in both before with the application? Also should I try...

TL;DR: Currently work at Wags, but sorta just putting up with it. Nervous about changing flags to work for tiny neighborhood Walmart on my campus, but was my 1st choice and still is! Been about 4 months at wags. I've only been there 4ish/5ish months, afterall!

I have been scouring the web for a reliable source that provides Phlebotomy and/or ACLS certification with no luck. Does anybody know of a good way to find this? If it matters I am located in Central Virginia. I was also wondering if you need BCLS cert to even attempt ACLS course or can you...
