Provide additional help while working with the pharmacist
As a trained pharmacy technician one has a understanding of some of the ailments from which various patients suffer and what some prescribed medications might cure or sooth their health concerns. While only a licensed medical professional is the only person that is legally allowed to give a patient medical advice, a pharmacy tech who has cross trained as a nurse’s aide could create additional career opportunities, especially if they are already employed in a hospital or institutional setting.
For example the pharmacy tech, who has been trained as a nurse tech, would have the ability to be an effective communicator between the patient and the doctor or pharmacist, should either not be available, at that particular time, to speak directly to the patient. In a hospital or institutional setting, this pharmacy tech who has completed the additional course of study as a nurse’s aide, may consider checking the patient’s vital signs first, and then reporting the patient’s concerns – along with the documented vital signs – to supervisory personnel, thus creating a level of comfort for the patient and demonstrating responsible work habits. Once this additional service has been performed on the patient and the results relayed to the proper authority, professional care or advice can then administered to the patient in a timely manner.
