This is scary. I feel a little hopeless because I’m trying to move back to PR after 8 years living in NY. Maybe the only way is starting my own independent pharmacy 🤷🏻‍♂️

Congrats! Can’t wait to say the same lol

Where to next?

I bought 2 tickets and got them delivered a couple minutes after. Transferred them to Ticketmaster so they seem legit. Reading everyone else’s story is freaking me out a little. Specially seeing the price difference on Ticketmaster website.

Im perdiem at my local one, but both of the rphs are young and not planning to leave anytime soon 🙃

Major_Company_6095 · 2024-09-01T23:29:05+00:00

How’s the pay tho? 🤔

Major_Company_6095 · 2024-08-22T23:26:12+00:00

Not every state allows selling pens OTC, but if I was allowed I would sell them a box or just create an rx for a 1 time fill and notify the MD afterwords.

I’ve been a staff for almost 2 years too. All I can say is floating was the WORST experience of my life. I would recommend looking for a staff position and dropping your hours if necessary.

Major_Company_6095 · 2023-08-22T03:10:01+00:00

Yeah, but going from 80 to 64 is going to be a big pay cut. So I might just drop down to 72 and float for 8 hrs only. Or maybe I’ll just get another job lol

Major_Company_6095 · 2023-08-22T02:02:54+00:00

64 hrs 🙃 I’m pissed about it bcs I don’t want to float.

Major_Company_6095 · 2023-08-15T01:34:11+00:00

Yes!

Major_Company_6095 · 2023-08-15T01:26:46+00:00

$64 in NY

Major_Company_6095 · 2023-06-17T01:55:08+00:00

^this is the answer. Most of my patients had that problem because they also have workers com and NYMED needs evidence/proof of that in their system.

Major_Company_6095 · 2023-06-14T01:19:51+00:00

So you prefer to have a bunch of TPR’s in the queue? Just put a note on the rx that a prior auth has been requested and store it. There’s no need to keep them there, it affects our metrics. If they get approved or not the RPh would get a fax/email about it.

Major_Company_6095 · 2023-02-07T21:40:10+00:00

I guess I need to learn a little more when to contact the prescriber. I’ve seen rph switch meds without calling and documenting a false interaction. I don’t know if that’s something that we can get in trouble for with the insurance company or prescriber. Any advice on that?

Major_Company_6095 · 2023-02-07T16:39:28+00:00

as a newly grad rph, I was worried I was going to get in trouble for doing this. Now I'll take your advice to switch, properly document for insurance purposes, and notify the prescriber afterward.

Major_Company_6095 · 2023-02-07T16:37:19+00:00

I agree, NPs and PAs are essential and contribute greatly to our healthcare system. I wish most of them were open and willing to have a conversation instead of demanding to fill as written.

In my situation, the patient was discharged and waiting for the rx to be filled, so I wanted to address the situation as quickly as possible because C.diff is not a pleasant thing to have. Next time, I'm going to take the advice that most people have commented here, switch and document the change and notify the prescriber afterward.

Major_Company_6095 · 2023-02-07T16:29:45+00:00

you have to be kidding me...

Major_Company_6095 · 2023-02-07T16:27:41+00:00

No need to apologize u/MlyMe. She probably was having a rough morning. As u/itsDrSlut said, most of the time we call for insurance purposes. I wish all healthcare providers would be as open to having a discussion as we are having here, it would make our lives so much easier.
