More About the Author

In the healthcare profession, Mike Johnston is known as one of the leading experts on collaboration and teamwork in the pharmacy, interpersonal communication and pharmacy technicians.

At an early age, Mike Johnston set out on a task, which few are willing to attempt - starting a powerful, large trade association from scratch.

In February 1999, Johnston started off in Houston, Texas with only three members, but many more telling him - "It can never be done..." Johnston quickly mastered the leadership, communication, and marketing skills that were necessary for the realization of his vision.

Today, the association Johnston founded, NPTA - the National Pharmacy Technician Association, seven years ago, has exploded, having grown to more than 30,000 worldwide. Johnston's passion is helping others, particularly pharmacy professionals, discover and reach their full potential in life, both professionally and personally.

Johnston now spends the majority of his time traveling and working with pharmaceutical manufacturers, employers, association executives, and political leaders around the world.

In 2002, Johnston released his first book, Rx For Success, published by RxPress Publications. In the summer of 2005, he released six pharmacy textbooks, published by Prentice Hall Health as well as two additional titles published in 2007. Johnston and his association have been written about in magazines and newspapers across the United States, including: the New York Post, the New York Times, the Houston Chronicle, Drug Topics, Pharmacy Today, Ladies Home Journal and many others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand!, January 18, 2007
By 
This review is from: Pharmacy Calculations: The Pharmacy Technician Series (Paperback)
Although there are a few mistakes in this book, I found it very easy to understand and important in order to be a pharmacy tech and understanding pharmacy math. We used it in our college class, and of all the books I have, I found myself referring to this one the most. Being a college book, it is written and explained for normal people. You don't have to be a genius to learn from this book. I have ordered all of the books in this series for my personal use because of this book, especially to prepare for the exam and they are all easy to understand.

1.0 out of 5 stars Look somewhere else, January 12, 2007
By 
This review is from: Pharmacy Calculations: The Pharmacy Technician Series (Paperback)
As a pharmacy technician myself with over 26 years experience, I found this text to be mediocore at best. There are many mistakes and wrong answers in this book, leading me to believe that I can't trust ANY answers in it. As an instructor of pharmacy technicians I once used this as a text book, but even my students were finding errors and pointing them out to me, so I found it necessary to stop using this book. I don't recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book - For the strong or struggling math student, May 17, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pharmacy Calculations: The Pharmacy Technician Series (Paperback)
This is a great book. I love math, but there were some things I had forgotten from my chemistry and math days. This book starts with the basics and slowly works your way up to the really complex stuff and helps you review those basics that you don't do every day, but will need to pass the exam. Great book - you won't have to worry about struggling on any of the math on the pharmacy tech exam with this book. A++++
