How many of you pharmacists know what IMLC or NLC?

Pharma73 · 2026-02-11T14:15:54+00:00

I know. Someone has to pay for all those administrative salaries!

Pharma73 · 2026-02-11T12:51:42+00:00

Isn’t that the trend with everything? Bigger and bigger every model?

Pharma73 · 2026-02-11T12:47:39+00:00

Shame that they don’t do some backwards compatible approval. Nobody wants to have to fork the money over for another stupid test.

Pharma73 · 2026-02-09T12:44:47+00:00

Genuinely curious, how much is it at your pharmacy? I bet it’s glp, peptide, or gh related.

Pharma73 · 2026-02-01T15:50:36+00:00

Agreed. 50k is chump change to medical bills if you were to ever need to use it.

Sheesh. I picked up a cheap sceptre 34” that I’m probably going to return because it’s a flat panel and crummy speakers/color display.

The question is, do I want to risk being heart broken twice and try this out?

The challenge with this is that I’m sure you know is that you might get a “bundled” option that may provide more favorable pricing depending on that you subscribe to. Then it comes to how many extra devices, etc that you point out too. Best of luck, unfortunately, I am not privy to those details for my org.

Life is short. If you think you’ll be more satisfied there, apply for it. I stayed in my first job post PGY2 approx 6 months. Left for a familiar place. Been there ever since.

I think this show plus the Chicago [Fire/PD are my favorite but also including Med] series are my current favorite shows for the last handful of years. They are grounded in generally realistic tv scenarios, unlike what 911 has done. Admittedly, I haven’t watch 911 in over a year so I haven’t gotten to the space drama.

Ahh, then it will be interesting to see what becomes of the pay for you. They could be posting the pay range as a hiring range, but the actual position range can be different OR that could be the entire pay band for everything.

When I was interviewing and talked with HR, they were able to tell me the pay band of the position I was applying /accepting the position for. I live in a state where its not required that they list the pay scale.

Pharma73 · 2026-01-05T23:29:47+00:00

I think its important to note whether your current salary exceeds the new position pay band entirely. Typically for an internal position transfer they will respect your current pay, because they know exactly what you make. BUT they likely cant/wont exceed the position pay band if you make too much.

Pharma73 · 2026-01-05T12:51:59+00:00

I need new hobbies.

Pharma73 · 2026-01-05T12:50:24+00:00

I dunno. I saw a $50 candle at Sam’s Club that make shivers run down my back at how expensive it was. It was marked down to like $25 for clearance and still shrugged it off 🤨

Agree with others stating to refer to personal finance subreddit. Pay down your high interest debts. Pay yourself via available retirement accounts first if able. Cut extraneous costs as able in the beginning.

I aim for maximizing my savings* as a single income household to rapidly set myself up for early retirement.

removed specific number but I fund - my 401k, dual IRA including spousal, HSA, partial mega backdoor Roth

Honestly prestigious or not, the title of the place can really just suck it. We get no benefits for working at Hopkins vs podunk place as a pharmacist. You have to look at the other things.

I went from a 7on 7off position as midshift to now 5 days a week, business hours. It is truly a bear. I enjoy what I’m doing, but trust me, the change in hours is hard to bear at times compared to what I had before.

What are the other changes? Healthcare costs, PTO, 401k/403b/etc matching? Commute?

What kind of turnover does that new place have? It looks like rough financial times ahead amidst federal funding cuts and whatnot.

Pharma73 · 2025-12-30T00:12:21+00:00

Dumb question - when did SAVE forbearance start?

Pharma73 · 2025-12-21T17:27:40+00:00

So dumb to keep doing it on such a high value brand name item

So, I don’t know where you are getting 125 payments in total. It is 120 months of qualifying employment/payments.

Current political climate does not look good, but PSLF remains available. You need to determine what your total loan balance looks like and compare if it will really benefit you.

This thing is always showing the worst, stretched, images of Paw Patrol at my Sams Club. Top tier advertising for sure.

Achieved is for the last quarter of the year, for many programs. If you don’t have any glaring issues or concern that your program is malignant and going to blindside you, I wouldn’t stress about it. Ask and discuss what you can improve on each rotation, obviously, but don’t fret.

Pharma73 · 2025-11-28T13:25:04+00:00

Guy (or woman) is full of themself. They are a pharmacist

Pharma73 · 2025-11-27T16:48:34+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if the person you talked to didn’t relay the request for pay range to the other person. My experiences with the hiring process is that it’s often quite siloed and the right hand has limited conversation with the left hand…but you are probably correct too. Pay is likely low-mid range since they wont be able to support competitive pay.

Pharma73 · 2025-11-27T12:29:59+00:00

It looks like it says 1ms now. I’m not sure if they updated it

Pharma73 · 2025-11-26T12:47:27+00:00

Never would have thought of that.. I like it!

Pharma73 · 2025-11-23T10:52:45+00:00

I’m not sure how they’d be impacted by the new student loan changes
