1. Level of Service: While the Live Scan forms contained in the board’s application package are pre-
  slugged to indicate level of service at the DOJ and FBI level, please ensure at the time of Live Scan
  transmission that the Live Scan operator selects both the DOJ and FBI levels of service. If FBI is not
  selected at the time of original transmission, you may be required to have your Live Scan redone at
  another time and have to repay for the DOJ and FBI levels of services again. The board has been notified
  by the DOJ that effective 9/1/07, if the FBI level of service is not requested at the time of original
  transmission both DOJ and FBI levels of service will have to be redone. Any issue of cost for
  resubmission should be handled at the Live Scan Site level.

Take the completed form to your nearest Live Scan site for fingerprint scanning. There are more than 130 Live Scan sites throughout the state. An up-to-date Live Scan site list is on the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Internet web page at http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/publications/contact.htm or call your local police or sheriff’s department.

Contact the live scan service for hours of operation, an appointment (if necessary), acceptable forms of payment and identification requirements. Be prepared to pay ALL applicable fees (DOJ processing fee of $32, FBI processing fee of $19, and fingerprint scanning service fee) at the time your prints are taken. The live scan fingerprinting service fee varies from about $5 to $20. The cost to electronically submit your fingerprints is determined by the local Live Scan agency and the agency can charge a fee sufficient to recover its costs. The lower portion of the Request for Live Scan Service form must be completed by the live scan operator. The original of the form is retained by the scanning service; the second copy is to be attached to your application and submitted to the board; and the third copy is for your records.

FINGERPRINTING AUTHORITY

Section 144(b) of the Business and Professions Code authorizes the Board of Pharmacy to require an applicant for licensure to furnish a full set of fingerprints for purposes of conducting criminal history record checks. Fingerprints are required in order for the DOJ/FBI to conduct background checks for criminal convictions.

pharmacy technician is the pharmacist’s “assistant” and helps him or her keep the pharmacy running in

admin — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 17:52:15 +0000

Everyone needs an assistant to help them complete their day-to-day tasks, and a pharmacist is no different. A pharmacy technician is the pharmacist’s “assistant” and helps him or her keep the pharmacy running in an efficient and orderly manner – from counting medication to answering the phone.

Pharmacy technicians play an important role – when a prescription is received, the pharmacy technician checks the prescription, completes the insurance information, labels the bottle, measures the medication and pours it. Upon completion of the medical prescription, the pharmacist will double-check the medicine for any errors in measurement, count, or labeling. The pharmacy technician assists the head pharmacist, but the final word always comes from the pharmacist.

The role of a pharmacy technician is a large and important one – however technicians cannot answer questions about medications and their possible side-effects or compound the actual medicines. This is the responsibility of the pharmacist, who has an extensive educational background and is licensed by the state.

The responsibilities of a pharmacy technician include:

Helping the pharmacists count the prescription pills

Labeling medicine bottles

Answering the phones

Taking care of the money

Checking prescriptions

Organizing the medication on the shelves

Keeping count of all medication to ensure an all-day supply

A pharmacy technician can work in a hospital setting, nursing home, or pharmacy. They can set their schedules to work full or part-time. The good news is that this is a career that is on the rise – the elderly population has increased and more people are taking medications than ever before. Scientific research continues to make breakthroughs in medications and treatments, which in turn increases the need for well-trained pharmacy technicians in pharmacies nationwide.

How does a pharmacy technician learn the right skills? Pharmacy technician courses are offered at various schools and colleges, including:

Vocational Colleges

Technical Colleges

Community Colleges

Hospitals

Proprietary Schools

The duties of a pharmacy technician, like many other jobs, is an important one. The necessary skills learned by a pharmacy technician will provide a tremendous help to pharmacists nationwide and keep the pharmacy or medical facility running in a smooth manner – while effectively meeting the needs of patients. It’s a career that helps people on a daily basis and makes a difference every day.

Pharmacy Tech Degree Earn a Pharmacy Tech Degree

admin — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:22:46 +0000

An aspiring pharmacy technician needs one basic item to get things started. This is the pharmacy tech degree. The pharmacy tech degree is obtained through training. Medical institutions offer six months to one year of training for would be technicians to obtain a pharmacy tech degree. Some schools even offer online training. The quality of training obtained through pharmacy technician schools varies from one school to another.

An aspiring technician must be very careful in choosing the right school in getting the pharmacy tech degree. It could be a regular school or an online degree program. What matters is that the school must ably prepare students to obtain their certifications or licenses afterwards. Their training programs must therefore be geared towards this goal. It is useless for somebody to be having a pharmacy tech degree but does not have a license to practice the profession. The training program offered in schools must ensure and guide students to get their licenses afterwards.

So how do aspiring pharmacy technicians know which school offer the best pharmacy tech degree program? The schools which have the most graduates obtaining their licenses afterwards would be the best. Schools can always claim that they offer the best pharmacy tech degree program there is to offer.

Vocational nursing programs are offered at schools throughout Southern California. A career in nursing is still in high demand, both here and abroad. Nursing offers immense employment opportunities, as well as many financial and professional advantages. Through an accelerated program, a nursing student can become a licensed vocational nurse (LVS) in as little as 11 months.

As a vocational nursing schoolgraduate student you will be able to demonstrate competencies in direct patient-care activities and ethical, caring behaviors while providing nursing care. Often, graduates and active students in upper level vocational nursing classes are offered free review classes to help prepare for the NCLEX-PN exam. Upon passing this licensure exam, graduates may obtain employment as a licensed vocational nurse.

A California Licensed Vocational Nurse works in hospitals, both public and private, in nursing and convalescent homes, in medical clinics and for health service agencies, government agencies such as the Peace Corps, and in the military. Some are self-employed working through nursing agencies for private duty service.

The average licensed nurse in the U.S. earns between $43,370 and $63,360 a year-some even earn as much as $71,000 to $113,000 a year. Most nursing jobs come with good benefits as well, in addition to bonuses, family-friendly work schedules, and subsidized training. This is because there is a shortage of nurses, so employers will offer benefits to attract and retain more nurses on their staff.

Vocational nursing schools also offer training programs for other successful careers in the healthcare sector, such as surgical technology, pharmacy technician, diagnostic medical sonographer, and medical assistant training.
