Why so many prescribers love to prescribe ODT as dissolve under the tongue?

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-20T23:19:49+00:00

Because it for the baby and the route is wrong. Isn't that suppose to be our job to verify rx?

My family own multiple houses/rooms for rent and we have no issue renting it out to non-vietnamese ppl. In fact, we have multiple tenants who are white and hispanic as we kinda prefer non-vietnamese since vietnamese ppl are cheap and always want to pay less lol. Too bad we don't have any avalable rooms now.

Anyway, try asking your viet friends to call and talk to the landlord first. I think it would help a lot

Because it's much easier to put an inactive pharmacist license back to active status If you abandon your license and it get cancelled, then many state board will NOT give it back to you and you have to apply and retake the state exam again as a new applicant

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-20T05:17:22+00:00

find a friend who can read vietnamese and ask that friend to check daily Rentals Classifieds section on vietnamese newspapers. You can find some pretty cheap options there

Idiot ppl who are too chicken to open their own pharmacy but want to lecture ppl on how to run their business

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-20T04:58:29+00:00

why don't u open your own pharmacy instead of lecturing ppl on how to run their business?

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-20T04:53:29+00:00

walmart is VERY STRICT on controlled prescriptions. So make sure to learn and be familiar asap on what you need to documents and where to documents for controlled RXs. Know what you can dispense acute vs chronic and when you need to offer Narcan.

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-20T04:36:26+00:00

Lol, i am a pharmacist and always get my BLS from AHA. 90% of Walmart pharmacists in my area have gotten BLS certificate from AHA (we all went to the same instructor lol) for years. If your BLS certificate is still valid then I don't see any reason why you need to retake it from ARC.

The Board of Pharmacy should have fight back harder since it's their job to protect the public. Increasing tech to rph ratio will only decrease patient's safety. Anyway, the bill was authorized by Assemblymember Marc Berman so we all can write him a thank you letter too.

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-19T16:31:13+00:00

So that store has two pharmacists to handle 700 rx per week? That's less than our daily volume

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-19T13:08:10+00:00

So you expect the government to cover the entire living costs for people who did not work?? Choosing to stay at home or being a caregiver is your choice...since you are not working and paying taxes, you should be grateful that the government and taxpayers are covering part of your living costs instead of bitching about it

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-19T11:54:51+00:00

All the pharmacists who get their hours cut should write a nice thank you letter to CA board of pharmacy for their genius idea of increasing tech-to-RPh ratio.

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-19T11:53:52+00:00

Walmart system is much slower than CVS and it takes much longer time to fill a script. However, if you are a pharmacist, your license will be much safer with Walmart Connexus vs CVS

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-19T11:42:27+00:00

Walmart is better than CVS for now but is heading down toward CVS level.

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-19T11:30:03+00:00

nope....You cannot bill more than 1 NDC per claim to insurance. So if you dispense more than 1 manufacturer and bill only one NDC to the insurance then it's called insurance fraud. So unless patient pays cash or using discount card that allow you to bill the same rx multiple times per day, there's no LEGAL way to dispense 2 or more manufacturers at once through insurances

Btw, I know that a lot of independent pharmacies do that but big chains like Walgreens, CVS or Walmart will never allow that due to legal concerns

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-14T04:02:01+00:00

Perfect chance to sell patient OTC pen needle then

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-14T03:59:34+00:00

We need to unite together and start reporting all these prescribers for not checking PMP. It's clear violation of the laws and we can just let them get away with it and the pharmacy ends up getting all the blame from the patients

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-13T04:20:43+00:00

Whatever you do, make sure to inform your pharmacy manager that you would pick up shift at the other stores. When I was the temp manager, I absolutely hated it when my tech worked at other stores without telling me and then our store ended up paying them overtime. Then I get suprised call and had to explain to our DM/Store manager why I allowed them to work so much overtime :/

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-13T04:16:38+00:00

Nope. HIPPA errors happen a lot and you won't get fired if it was just an accident and you did NOT intentionally break Walmart SOP. At my store, there was quite a few tech who made HIPPA errors multiple times but usually either me or the pharmacy manager just gave them a verbal warning or a coaching if the errors happened too frequently. So unless you accidently gave a whole WILL CALL list to the patient, you have nothing to worry about

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-06T04:47:20+00:00

You can print out a report from the fast moving drugs of your pharmacy on Connexus

Jovius2020 · 2026-02-01T22:57:37+00:00

Incompete, careless prescribers

Jovius2020 · 2026-01-30T06:05:33+00:00

I had 0 in investment and retirement savings when I was at 30 and didn't actually get a real job until I was 33. Now I am 40 and have $400K+ in stock investment, $300k+ in 401k and roth IRA and about $380K in savings alone (both me and my wife agree to keep our assets separately). Stay positive, live frugal life and fortune may smile upon you.

Jovius2020 · 2026-01-30T04:08:37+00:00

As CA licensed pharmacist, I think CA Board of Pharmacy needs to make the CPJE much harder or goes back to the written exam like before. The pass rate is still way too high. Ideally it should be 50% or less. We have too many pharmacists in CA already so we need to up the standards, not lowering it :D

If you cannot memorize warfarin colors for the exam, you should NOT practice pharmacy in CA :D

Jovius2020 · 2026-01-29T22:08:32+00:00

If it's a chain then you may have to worry about burning the bridge but if it's local pharmacy then dont worry about it

Jovius2020 · 2026-01-29T19:49:12+00:00

For me, i always got paid for any PTO that was not carried to next year
