A rash from poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac is caused by an oil found in these plants called urushiol (you-ROO-shee-all). When this oil touches your skin, it often causes an itchy, blistering rash. Most people can safely treat the rash at home.
Most Pharmacy Technician training courses run from about six months to a year, depending on the course. In that time, you will learn the skills required to operate a pharmacy, follow correct pharmaceutical procedures, provide the correct drug dosages, and assist the pharmacist in administrative tasks.
Pharmacy technicians often learn their trade through informal on-the-job training. Technicians generally spend three to six months learning their job under a licensed pharmacist or another technician. This type of training doesn't provide the level of education acquired from formal training, which is often preferred by employers.
