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 must renew their certification annually on or before their birthday by submitting the renewal card and current renewal fee. Since January 2014 all pharmacy technicians applying to renew their credential must report completion of 10 hours of continuing education (CE) units annually, which includes at least one hour in pharmacy law.
