NAC639.242. Registration of pharmaceutical technician in training; affidavit of managing pharmacist.

     1. An applicant for registration as a pharmaceutical technician in training must:

     (a) Be 18 years of age or older;

     (b) Be a high school graduate or the equivalent;

     (c) Not have been convicted of any felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, dishonesty or the unlawful possession, sale or use of drugs;

     (d) Have no history of drug abuse; and

     (e) Participate in training while on the job and acquire experience that is commensurate with the duties of his or her employment.

     2. A person may perform the duties of a pharmaceutical technician while the person is receiving the training and experience required by paragraph (e) of subsection 1 if he or she is registered with the Board.

     3. Upon receipt of an application and the required fee, the Executive Secretary shall, unless he or she has good cause to deny the registration, issue a registration certificate for a pharmaceutical technician in training to the managing pharmacist of the pharmacy where the trainee will be employed.

     4. Registration as a pharmaceutical technician in training is effective for 24 months after the date of issuance unless an extension is granted by the Board.

     5. The registration certificate of a pharmaceutical technician in training who is receiving the training and experience required by paragraph (e) of subsection 1 will specify the pharmacy where he or she will be employed. Termination of that employment voids the registration, and the trainee must reapply for registration before his or her services may be used by another pharmacy. This subsection does not prohibit a trainee from accumulating certified hours of training from each place of employment.

     6. The managing pharmacist of the pharmacy where a pharmaceutical technician in training is employed to receive the training and experience required by paragraph (e) of subsection 1 shall file with the Board a signed affidavit certifying:

     (a) The number of hours of training and experience the trainee has successfully completed;

     (b) The specific training and experience the trainee has completed; and

     (c) That the trainee is competent to perform the duties of a pharmaceutical technician.
