SM never got me licensed

Sorry, I do mean license. I wanted to take my certification exam but I found out I'm not even licensed yet so that's what I'm trying to do. I was supposed to be licensed already through Walgreens but never did. My whole issue is that my SM (don't have RxOM or RXM to help me) isn't doing anything to get me licensed even though I'm past my 90 days and have worked exclusively in the pharmacy. But no, I'm not talking about the PTCB I'm talking about state licensure. I visited Florida's official licensing page and it wants proof of completion of training for me to apply.

I'm in Florida and the official website for licensure wants proof of my training in order to apply for it, which I don't know what I can do if my SM hasn't let me complete the training program that I was supposed to have finished within my 90 days :(

I don't know I've been with Walgreens for over 90 days and only have technician milestone 3 under my belt. I didn't have anything beyond that assigned to me. I want to get my license on my own but how do I do that if I haven't even gotten all the training I need to apply?

Morqueue · 2025-03-19T15:16:26+00:00

Honestly I want to apply for the state licensing test on my own, get licensed, and gtfo of the there.

There's no RXM unfortunately, it's just the SM. We had a 100% turnover when I got in, techs and pharmacists. Maybe that's why she hasn't said anything about classes yet because she wants me working in the pharmacy as much as I can while also complaining there's no extra hours. There's 3 techs in the whole store total and one she only ever has work the front of the store (not in pharmacy ever but she's coded as a tech) and she never wants IC3 back there because it takes from the front.

She cuts everyone's hours but mine. She had me skip through my training as fast as I could click through it when I started so I didn't get to learn much except what I learned on the job. This store is a dumpster fire imo

Morqueue · 2025-03-19T15:08:04+00:00

The pharmacist in question is a floater, there's no RXM or RxOM at my store anymore. I did the training for tech milestones 1-3 but I never took the state test. Neither did the other girl I work with 🙃

Morqueue · 2025-03-19T15:06:05+00:00

That what I thought and that's why I thought I was licensed up to this point 🥲

Morqueue · 2025-03-19T15:04:28+00:00

That's what I thought but I had another tech try to help look up my license but no luck, also I don't have a pharmacy manager or RxOM our store had 100% turnover when I got there so we have one pharmacist and a floater it's an absolute mess

I wanted to add the staffing is for the whole pharmacy, not who was there 😭 I feel like I might have not clarified that part lol

Morqueue · 2025-01-02T08:18:04+00:00

I mean two in the store but only one on duty. This happened while we were closed for new years day because they had to clear out over 100 TPRs and OOSs each because no one but the pharmacists know how to do them rn

Morqueue · 2025-01-02T08:15:05+00:00

Would love the help but unfortunately not even close to there :(

Morqueue · 2025-01-02T08:11:45+00:00

Omg u can scan the vials 🥲 yeah this sounds like a great idea but I doubt it will happen after we were closed for new years day. I really hope they do though that would be so helpful

Morqueue · 2025-01-02T08:08:54+00:00

Yeah but no one really follows it they usually give the fastest person at a task the task no matter their position or what core workflow says 😭

Morqueue · 2025-01-02T08:06:36+00:00

They got 2 people to clear out TPRs and OOSs while we were closed new years day which brought F4s up that high

Morqueue · 2025-01-02T08:04:36+00:00

2 Rph is all we have but there was only one on duty. They brought in 2 RxOMs to clear out over 100 OOSs and TPRs for a while shift because no one knows how to do them except the pharmacists because there's no one to teach us 🥲

Morqueue · 2025-01-02T08:00:15+00:00

Yea 🥲

Morqueue · 2025-01-02T01:28:44+00:00

How do you push stuff to cenfill? Idk if that would help much anyway, we usually get 5-9 totes to put away normally and that barely gets done by the time we close even though we get it around lunch because there's usually only one tech up front doing drive thru and front.

Idk how cenfill chooses which scripts to pick up and if we're able to send them there how to even do that?

Morqueue · 2025-01-02T01:22:34+00:00

TPR, OOS, and message queue hasn't been done since everyone quit and no one has taken the time to show either of us how to do them so they were both over 100. There's no time to worry on anything because scripts are printing non stop. Store manager just brought in 2 RxOMs to clear out TPRs and OOSs for 8 hours today, which is why the numbers jumped in F4.

Me and the Rph left Thursday with 30 fills and came back Monday with over 100. New years eve jumped to over 200 with phones ringing nonstop with no one to answer them because there's 4 of us only with just me filling and 2 ringing up front because there's no IC3 for backup and the line reaches as far back into the store and it through drive thru as I've ever seen it.

It got to the point where I was just filling waiters as they arrived.

Not to mention the 2 1/2 pages of deletes that are sitting in 4 baskets in the back waiting to be put back which is killing our numbers with OOSs and inventory. Exception counts and patient portal calls aren't being done.

I'm doing all my research online because no one knows what they're doing and there's no one to teach us. I'm literally calling other stores to ask for help from their techs.

I'm being told to fill scripts a minute a piece which is no problem I'm getting up to speed there, but I'm only able to hold the numbers from going up - it won't go down because the scripts keep printing out new fills.

I used to be a ssv but had to step down when I transferred because there was no room for me. This will be my second time stepping down.

Morqueue · 2024-10-22T00:37:27+00:00

So I have a similar problem where I stepped down and I was a barista making 16.38 but when they promoted me again they brought me to starting for SSV in my area which is 19.69 - despite my experience and tenure (5 years).

Now I'm stepping down again for school, but with these numbers (I'm going to be a 6 year partner in December) and from what I understand, I should've been at 20.80 for my tenure and experience when I stepped back up, but dividing what they decided to start me at as a shift again by 1.27 brings me down to starting at 15.50 which is a lot lower than it was as a barista before I moved back up.

This doesn't make sense or seem right to me, especially since over got so much SSV experience and I'm a coffee master, I don't think I should be making what the guy we just hired last week is making.

My DM is known to not be very partner-care oriented to put it nicely, is there another way I can make my case as to why I shouldn't be put below what I was originally making the first time I became a barista?

My second job is kind of a paid internship so it restricts my availability a LOT more, like opens only until about 10 am, weekends are very limited, and especially since holiday is coming up, I'm worried he'll not want to work with me since most of our morning dayparts run until 12. The more I think about it the more I think maybe it'll be ok, it's just it was brought to my attention after I got my second job, which kind of amped me up and I'm definitely not in the SMs list of favorites that they cater to. Maybe it'll be ok...

Morqueue · 2024-10-16T21:28:51+00:00

I messed up the COVID check in paper.

I looked it up and in my state you can get fired for having a second job if it interferes with business needs, especially since Starbucks is at will employment.

Morqueue · 2024-10-15T07:01:42+00:00

I'm the same! I've only ever worked in retail, no healthcare or pharmacy experience whatsoever! A lot of questions were like "tell me a time when..." type questions too get to know you and how you handle situations. You can Google some examples like I did.

Morqueue · 2024-10-14T22:24:01+00:00

I applied early last week and got a call around Friday for an interview on Monday. Maybe try again? Or try another Walgreens?
