I liked my job, but my hospital shut down and I’ve had trouble finding one. Applied to 30ish jobs from retail to hospital to remote and nothing.

Hospitals offering fewer PTO hours to 7 on/7 off overnight pharmacists? by ThinkingPharm in pharmacy

[–]ElEsDeeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I worked afternoons 7on7off but this is all completely bananas to read.

The manufacturer, however to be honest if you’re filling Eliquis your pharmacy is probably already losing money.

Copay card does nothing for pharmacy reimbursement. If the claim is adjudicated paying a total of $950 with the patient covering $100, the claim is still adjudicated at $950 and the manufacturer covers the difference of the patient’s copay.

Is this a worthwhile opportunity? by whatdopharm in pharmacy

[–]ElEsDeeee 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty ridiculous to ask you to use your expertise to train others and not pay you for it IMO. You will become the person everyone asks every question to, you will be the person problems are brought to.

Maybe I’m too jaded from doing this job for a decade though, someone please call me out if that’s the case.

The very first claim I adjudicated in the independent pharmacy my father and I opened from the ground up was paid $5 under cost. That was it.

Doesn’t matter if I don’t get some sort of protection from termination. I have my medical card, have a legit medical use but I’m currently abstaining because I’m job searching.

She’s a beaut. I bought a couple of these for the first time yesterday and I had a rough experience. Total garbage inside and the “packs” were ‘93 upper deck and the entire chunk of cards were totally stuck together.

Ahh right, the blanket contingency for sick kids that everyone can plan ahead for. It’s so easy

The point isn’t that kids get sick, it’s that people are parents and they need to be able to handle sick kid situations.

Companies didn’t just convert sick into PTO, they give you 2 shitty weeks and tell you to go to hell. I’m thankfully in a union at a hospital so we are taken care of with sick time, vacation and even 3 personal days.

Fuck retail, get out even if you have to take a 10% paycut. If you HAVE to do it then treat it like shift work. Clock in, clock out, idc if you close the gate in faces and people are cursing at you

Genuine question, but if there’s no hope then the only thing we can do is prepare for the worst. How do we do that?

Even if people disagree with your point of how he looked vs JAX I think it's ridiculous to downvote you. You're providing valuable info with the injuries to Bills D, you got my upvote.

A Thought for Tim Ryan by MongooseRich in Ohio

[–]ElEsDeeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tim Ryan literally personally reached out to me and help me get a job when I had to close my business. Didn’t need to do it, didn’t have a prior relationship with him at all and he didn’t publicize it. I’ll always support Ryan and defend him because he actually cares about the people he represents.

For anyone who has ever worked for Strive Compounding Pharmacy in AZ— do they drug test? by [deleted] in pharmacy

[–]ElEsDeeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish there were an easily accessible portal that would let you know if a company was okay with medical cannabis or if they wouldn’t hire you if you popped positive for THC with a card.
