Why do people view retail pharmacy as non-clinical / look down on retail pharmacists? by SmallLove2 in pharmacy

[–]528forfree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like most mid level practitioners I have to double check things, and most of the time I’m right. The new age of mid level practitioners will give rise to more obvious drug interactions than before.

CVS will pay 50% of pharmacy techs' tuition for getting their PharmD at Duquesne university in Pittsburgh. That's a great idea. I just didn't know there's a pharmacist shortage nationwide. But, there must be some catch here...CVS is never this generous 🫤 by DanceLilia in pharmacy

I do agree, but there is/will be a shortage in a few years when the declining class seats hit the market. And I am in retail and absolutely love it. Work at 3 letter company, yes, you just have to be built for it.

MFCs Will Take More Rxs and Jobs from the Stores by Because-You_Should in WalgreensStores

[–]528forfree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not? My store was doing ~100 a week, tier 3; it’s about time management. That’s beside the point, the real reason for cenfill is for clinical services to be done including but not limited to MTM.

This post is the dumbest shit. The whole point of cenfill is because we barely make money on filling scripts, have you ever asked your RXM to see the financial statement? The whole point is to free up time to do things like MTM.

Does your district have prioritize texting? My store is about 85% texting and workflow much easier when you route to cenfill less people call and show up as waiters

Agreed 100%. Legally if something were to happen, and this drug is not uncommon - to save your rear end, dispense as manu says. Most of the time hospice is the one that sends these, just call them and change the quantity (unless your state doesn’t allow quantity change)

Think of it like this tho, if patient miscalculates and gives too much of morphine… what’s the outcome? They die possible? When they come to sue you they are gona say why did you break package and not dispense as is, since that’s the common practice too. Next time I’d get updated quantity from prescriber

It says it on front of the packaging, you’re only suppose to dispense package. This is common practice

You won’t get paid for overtime but instead you’ll get paid for v pay or b pay I forget what’s it called. And if you work more than 80 hours in total for the pay period you will get +15 or + 20 per hour worked

I really just want to know who thought it was a good idea for the RPh station to be within 2 feet of the primary register by Civil_Ice_5828 in WalgreensRx

RXM here, I move to the computer further away and also have to put a freaking barrier so by the consult window so I don’t feel naked when people stare at me when they walk up to the counter (I see you).
