For Nevada, you can be either a pharmacy tech trainee or a pharmacy tech. Here are the requirements for both types.
Pharmaceutical Technician Trainee:

2.High school graduate or equivalent
3.Not have been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor that involves moral turpitude, dishonesty or the unlawful possession, sale or use of drugs
4.Have no history of drug abuse
5.Register with the Board: fill out application and pay registration fee
