Herbal

Thanks for all the tips. As for my background I am studying to be a clinical herbalist. I am currently exploring the idea of becoming a nurse. I haven't 100% decided if that is where I want to go because the knowledge is what I want, not necessarily a job as a nurse- but I wouldn't mind the experience of working in that environment. But it's a tough one because of philosophical reasons. Anyway, I am different like that. I've done lots of things just for the experience because I have many interests. So that's where I am coming from. I need more pharmacology training because I think it's essential to know about both natural medicine and western medicine.

Since some people on here are pharmacy techs or have had pharm tech training I'd like to ask about this. If you have enrolled in a pharm tech training program, did you learn anything useful? Let me rephrase that. I am interested in taking a pharm tech class because I want to gain knowledge of drug uses and things of that nature. I feel this will complement where I am trying to go in life. However, from reading other boards with pharm techs, it seems like people just take these classes so they can pass a test. Some don't even take a class- they just buy a book. They don't care about actually knowing anything, they just want to pass a test so they can get a job. That is not what I am looking for and I don't want to pay $600 to take a class that is really not going to enhance my knowledge. Any insights would be appreciated.
