Most pharmacies in this area only hire cpht who have been through this program. I'm currently looking for on the job training so that when I come out of school, I have some experience along with my clinicals. I have a great support system so I'm confident I can at least handle working and taking basic classes to get into the nursing program. But with a GED I'm hoping having completed a program it will help them consider me for a position in the nursing program. If I have to quit working to do the nursing program then I have that option. Thank you for your help. Are you in a nursing program now?

So, I've just been accepted into a Pharmacy Technology program. I will be done in a year and I hope to find a decent paying job and be on my way to nursing school. I chose Pharmacy Tech first because I have 3 kids and I've been a stay at home mom for 5 years. I'm ready to help my husband in supporting our family and a Pharmacy Tech job will enable me to do so while I'm pursuing my nursing degree. Has anyone else went from CPhT to RN? Will this help me get into a nursing program? My plan is to become an RN, then BSN, and hopefully MSN. I've also been doing a lot of research on CRNAs and though it sounds like something I would enjoy, I'm worried I will miss out on my children because it sounds very demanding. Any advice from CRNAs would be greatly appreciated. What kind of hours do you work? What are some pros/cons in that career? How long were you in school?
