Hi All,

I am looking into going back to school for a new career at midlife since losing my previous job due to my pm. Is anyone here a Pharmacy Tech or Dental Assistant???
If so, any problems/complications with these jobs?

Thank you.

Take care,
Casey

Dental Assistant...

Hey, Casey.

My twin is a dental assistant (she has worked in orthodontics for the past 5 years as the ortho's right hand) and is currently finishing her hygienist's license. The only thing I can think of with that career is the possibility of working with or near an ultrasonic machine.

I don't know a thing about a pharm tech dangers! LOL

Let us know what you decide!

Changing Career

We have a granddaughter that is a pharmacy technician. The two things I have heard her complain about are having to stand on her feet for many hours a day and having to really brush up on her math, especially the metric system. While all meds you will be counting out are a premeasured size which will usually be given in milligrams, micrograms or CC. One other thing, learning to pronounce the name of some generics has given her a fit. But she loves the work and learning what all the meds are and what they can do for people. Also, she is very happy with her pay..
