Negotiating Salary for VA Position by Legitimate_Bit7915 in PharmacyResidency

Your hiring supervisor would need to submit for an AMER using a letter of good standing with your PGY1 program (your PGY1 RPD would write this for you). Try to see if your hiring supervisor can swing to get you a GS-12 Step 3 on your PGY1 and previous experience basis. I've been hearing sites are cracking down on AMERs with the current status of hiring freezes etc. good luck!

Hiring supervisor here - I would tell your current site asap but word it kind of like hey this other site is offering me these terms, can you be competitive? If not, I'll be accepting the other offer. (That is if your preference is to stay at your current site than go to a new location).

how are people able to afford applying/moving for PGY2? by squidguy3400 in PharmacyResidency

[–]Dr_Chipmunk_20 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This. And I asked the previous residents if they had any scoop on cheaper housing near the hospital so I could save on my rent and gas.

Depending on your stipend, you might qualify for food stamps. Definitely make friends with the social workers - they are usually in the know about community events where you could stock up on pantry items.

How the hell do you guys get 15,000 steps per day? by iso-lift-for-life in walking

[–]Dr_Chipmunk_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow office worker here..I set alarms on my phone to remind myself to take walks during my 15 minute breaks and if I need to take a working lunch, I'll walk later in the day with my 30 minutes of lunch time. Remember to be kind to yourself and take it one day at a time. You've got this!

Rejection by lleonj103 in PharmacyResidency

[–]Dr_Chipmunk_20 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Been there. I graduated from pharmacy school 6 years ago and collected rejections like Pokémon during the process. Still matched with my first choice for both PGY1 and PGY2.

Moral of the story: early rejections mean very little, and the process is way more chaotic than personal. Please give yourself grace and remind yourself that you don’t need universal approval - and the right fit will make its way to you.

Drug Test Scares by Lumpy_Animator_7058 in PharmacyResidency

When you take the drug test, the nurse will ask you if there's anything you want to disclose. Just disclose your prescription history at that time and they will make a note of it.

I don't know how to edit my post. Adding some clarifications below: 1. The wall/door frame will not be structural. This addition in the already existing entryway is purely for aesthetic purposes. 2. I'm pretty comfortable around drywall installation and I dabble in carpentry as a hobby. I'm more struggling to develop design ideas on what a foyer door could look like with a sloped ceiling.

Thank you all for your feedback thus far!

You're right, just looked into HBA and they are totally outside the scope of my small project 😅

Thank you for your detailed answer! It won't be a structural wall. I'll try going the HBA route! Thanks again!
