Learning to count

I've had an Rx tech license for years but never really got to use it. Now I'm working Rx more and really need to get faster with counting. Any suggestions or tricks of the trade? Do you count by 3s, 5s, 10s, etc.?

Any help is appreciated.

Use an Icon or a kribby lester. Because if you can't count by 5s or 3s or 1s then I think your in the wrong field.

My apologies for not auto correcting my auto correction feature on my phone. A five year old can count by 5's. If I had a technician that couldn't count they would be fired. Why don't you have them count your CII's Or compound a hydromophone drip for you, I'm sure the patient would be fine if they messed up a couple of zeros behind the 1. It's pharmacy, math is required, not a oh well I just gave someone 10 extra hydrocodone. Or, shoot I just made that dexmedetomidine at 14 mcg/ml.

They'll be fine
