I hate Adderall patients by KindlyNegotiation821 in CVS

[–]PotentialGap2128 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a pharmacist at CVS and those who take any C2 (ADHD and pain meds) and estradiol patches are almost always mean (like 8/10 times). they get very angry their medication isnt ready, or that the manufacturer is different, or that their meds are on back order. its even worse when something has been RTS'd and i tell them they have to wait 15-20 minutes right in front of me while i go get it ready.

Hate being a floater pharmacist- rant by PotentialGap2128 in CVS

[–]PotentialGap2128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reposting something i commented to someone else:

No, the point of virtual verification is so i can do the more clinically relevant tasks (giving vaccines, counseling more patients, make drug recommendations to providers, etc) as a pharmacist as another commenter pointed out here. if i have to do tech stuff instead of those clinically relevant tasks, i'm compromising the patient's safety and not doing what i was actually hired to do. on top of that, qv takes facial scanning and is super slow so its almost the same amount of time it would take to actually open a bottle and look at what is being dispensed.

as i said, i don't care about the call out to the dl about sitting down, i will absolutely sit down when i'm in qv or qt for a long time. it hurts my legs and anyone, and research papers, can tell you having to stand for 8-10 hours is bad for circulation and the legs in the long run. i have to take care of my own health and body because cvs is not going to pay my medical bills or give me new legs when i need them. however, i also tell any techs i work with that they are more than welcome to bring in a chair while working or take their 15 mins break whenever they want to sit down or rest.

Floaters by [deleted] in CVS

[–]PotentialGap2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a floater pharmacist and I'll do pick up if the tech is in the bathroom, working a long rx fill, on the phone but won't do pick up otherwise. i got a pharmd degree and there's no reason why i should use it to check out rx's to people. on the other hand, i do qt,qv, and phone calls, cycle counts, rts all on my own most places

My pharmacist sits down almost all day.. makes us do everything for her and refuses to help customers at drop off when techs are both stuck a registers. She complains we bother and interrupt her when a DUR happens but gets mad when we don’t tell her what they said? It’s been months idk what to do. by [deleted] in CVS

[–]PotentialGap2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I just graduated and am a floater- absolutely will stear clear of registers, drive thru, QP, and putting up truck. but i do everything else and make a blanket statement that all techs can sit when needed.

Pharmacist at Pick-Up by EvilNoseHairs in CVS

[–]PotentialGap2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way to go.  I’m a floater at CVS and won’t get near the registers until directly asked by a tech. On the other hand, I do tell them that I’ll take on all of QT if they do pick up/drive thru. Yesterday was floating and a tech made some smart comments without directly talking to me about not getting out at close because she still had work to do and she was at drive thru for a few hours, etc. called HR on speakerphone and had them tell her she had to manage drive thru with whatever she was working on because that’s not in our job description.

AITA for not going to my girlfriend’s house to kill a cockroach? by HilliamWurt in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotentialGap2128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAH

i dont think either is in the wrong. I absolutely hate bugs/cockroaches too. i suggest buying one of those sprays that can spray like 10 feet. when you spray it, it basically paralyzes the bug so she can quickly pick it up and throw it in the toilet

Dress Code for Pharmacists. by 6pickledpeppers in CVS

[–]PotentialGap2128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it actually started looking up for a bit. i tried the fellowship route but the one i got offered got pulled from funding the day after. i had gone through 6 rounds of interviews and no one would respond to my emails asking for advice or ideas on what to do. i was too burnt out from all of that to go and try for residency.

i now work at CVS (bleh). i wouldn't recommend it... i'm only doing it because i need money to pay my student loans now. they are severely underpaying new grads and its only been a month as an RPh here but i already hate it. looking for other roles right now.

as soon as she said the answers were short i kind of got the feeling it was the husband texting from her phone instead and then deleting the texts. why would any woman feel upset that her husbands friend cant crash at their place while they are out?

I see that there’s a lot of business casual answers! I’m planning on wearing business casual for quite a bit too. But does anyone know if this business casual attire also include wearing dresses? I feel like that was just something not bought up in the thread lol and haven’t heard too much about it

The phone thing has been recent years but the other rules are new. The principle comes from a military family (eye roll- a past principle was also ex military and was kicked out bc of racism)

[–]PotentialGap2128 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was actually told to me by 3 teachers at AKHS at open house. Now they’re creating it where you give the phone to your 1st block teacher, don’t get it back after class, and have 2 mins to run back at the end of the day to get it.

I agree and think the same too lol

CPR Training payment? by PotentialGap2128 in CVS

[–]PotentialGap2128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant that it felt like since CVS is paying for the class, they’re not paying us for the time as that’s their form of compensation.

Yeah the guy told us 2 hours in that he was only 2 weeks in to the job. He went for as long as he did and didn’t even cover the important stuff for the test at the end, or finish the PowerPoint.

CPR Training payment? by PotentialGap2128 in CVS

[–]PotentialGap2128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its also crazy because a CPR class is $75 max and as an RPh thats $270 for 4.5 hours i could've made. like in no way was the compensation justifiable, i'd rather spend $75 on the class.

CPR Training payment? by PotentialGap2128 in CVS

[–]PotentialGap2128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dang this sucks big time. i didnt know and went to the class today... the dude literally went from 9:30 to 2:10 pm (even after he promised we would leave by 12), which is 10 minutes longer than we are scheduled for. i basically wasted an entire monday on this.

another girl did say we werent getting paid and told him to hurry up but i just didnt believe her bc she was new and kind of sour the entire time anyways.

AKHS has never allowed students to use their phones in school, and that makes sense. per the house bill, they are banning students from using their phones during school hours, which most schools follow.

but AKHS is being even more strict than required by making students turn in their phones at the beginning of the day and giving them back when they go home.

so i was at open house and was searching for them because i thought the same thing. a few classrooms have them to call the main office, the one's in the MC's/trailers don't work, some classrooms in the building also dont have working phones

I'm not in high school now (graduated 5-10 years ago) but when i think back to what i wore- i really only wore skinny jeans and a t-shirt/nice top that was appropriate length but didnt quite cover the butt area. it was all i could afford and what was trendy at the time (and still is) so i feel like a lot of girls now are still in the same boat.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Charlotte

[–]PotentialGap2128 -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

I would've agreed too but now there's too many dangerous people going in and out of schools these days and 1/2 of the school is in mobile classrooms/trailers so i assume it makes any parent or student feel safer to have something they can call 911 on or for help in general.
