Pharmacy technician PTCB exam
Started by CAAtexas
Study mosby. Don't need to know drugs. Just know calculations and law
Sent from my Nexus 4 using SDN Mobile
Review how to set up a proportion and find values and the pharmacy calculations that are associated with them (e.g. allegations, flow rates) If you don't want to look stupid at your first job I would advise to at least look over the top 200 drugs and know what the possible uses are for them. As its not really necessary to know all 200, I did have 4 on mine in 2009, and my wife had 2 on hers this past January. Know what laws, how to assist pharmacist and possibly some hospital questions about crash carts. Just look on ptcb if you way more details.
Want*... Excuse the errors, I'm on a phone.
Not really. As previously said, focus on calculations and laws. If you have time though, try familiarizing yourself with at least the schedule II medications (brand-generic).
Know basic algebra using ratios, general conversions, and do a brief overview of the top 200 drugs (brand and generic), and laws. If you know just the HIPAA law, you will be fine!! I only studied for two days and took the test and passed. I feel they made the test too easy. (I probably felt this way because I took it after taking my PCAT). Don't stress yourself. When you walk out of that testing center and see your score.. you'll know what I'm talking about. =)) Good luck!!
