I’m an analytical scientist that does a lot of protein or antibody purity testing, been in this for 7 years or so, following SOPs, regulations, etc. I can go into more detail about what I do if it helps any in the comments if asked.

My BS is in biology with a minor in chemistry.

I’m moving to a state where the role I’m currently in is slim pickings and I really want to stay in a lab setting.

Is it easy to transition from a pharmaceutical lab to a hospital setting? I don’t know if that’s considered “clinical” setting if I’m working on drugs that are in early clinical phases or if it’s just a hospital lab setting haha.

Howdy all! I’m moving to a new state (Nevada) and positions for my current line of work are slim pickings, and I’d like to fall back on something familiar.

I was a pharmacy tech at Rite Aid back in like 2013-17 and there wasn’t a requirement to be certified in PA yet. So I have no idea what the process is. I’m still working full time at my current position so I don’t have time to sit in a classroom to learn in that setting.

Are there online resources (paid or free) that have worked for you? Is the exam itself something that’s also done online or is that in person? I’ll take the exam regardless of location but more curious.

I’m sure this question was asked a bajillion times in here but I’d be ever so grateful to hear from actual technicians instead of trusting the first thing that pops up on Google. Thank you!
