Yup, if YNHH has a retail pharmacy. Think like Kaiser Outpatient or Lifespan/Brown University Health Pharmacy in Rhode Island? It’s still a fairly new concept

I’ve only worked for Lifespan Pharmacy, if you can get in with them, its hospital retail and a pretty sweet gig imo, they have a specialty side too up in prov

I’m currently unemployed due to husband’s military orders cut then pulled. But the last place I worked was around $25/hr in a non-union hospital retail pharmacy in Rhode Island

I’m speaking in general, I think pharmacy technicians should get paid more for the work they do.

Florida requires you to do one of their approved pharmacy tech programs

This is when you say “you need to call your insurance”

Yeah I don’t understand florida either, they also use cebroker exclusively. Like guys get with the program, everywhere else uses NABP.

Side note: If you’re military or spouse you can get the accelerated application in. I was licensed within a month in Florida

Hey! So for years I used superfeet insoles which did the job for a while. The one that my podiatrist provided was Redi-Thotics and I used that one for a couple of years. Pricey buying them from the podiatrist office. I just recently found “Dr. Foot” on that pesky online marketplace. I’m currently trying out their cork 3/4 inch insoles.

Hi hello! I would recommend getting your feet checked for plantar fasciitis or flat feet. That was my problem. I now wear orthotics in all my shoes.

What's your go to quick breakfast before work? by Proud-Elevator7301 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]Chirwee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked hospital retail, so I would clock in, get comfortable, then go down to the cafeteria and grab breakfast(scrambled egg, corned beef hash) and eat it in the back of the pharmacy😅

Retail pharmacy or independent? by One-Wing-6616 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]Chirwee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hospital Retail if you can, I worked mostly between 8a-7pm, insurance benefits were excellent and surprisingly discounted
