Employment is NOT required to renew your Technician registration. Renewing technicians are required to complete one hour of an approved Nevada Law program prior to renewal and it will be checked during the annual pharmacy inspection. Trainees are required to be registered at EACH work location. There has been confusion expressed regarding requirements for technicians and “continuing education”. Nevada law requires that you perform 12-hours of in-service training during the 2-year period immediately preceding the renewal of your registration. Your managing pharmacist must approve and maintain a written record of your training and those records are to be maintained in the pharmacy and will be checked during the annual pharmacy inspection. Nevada law also provides that a technician may substitute the completion of the continuing education necessary for recertification by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board for the biennial in-service training. Should this option be chosen, documentation must be maintained in the pharmacy for inspection. The Nevada Law program may NOT be substituted by any other program. DO NOT SEND YOUR RECORDS TO THE BOARD WITH YOUR RENEWAL FORM. ANY SUCH RECORDS WILL BE DISCARDED.
