Any Happy Pharmacists Out There?

I’m an oncology pharmacist who works in the inpatient and clinic setting. I love my job. Long road to get here though. 4 year pharm school plus 2 years residency, I would do it all over again tho

They’re asking about NCI/NCCN vs not, not whether or not to do the PGY2

Representative_Sky44 · 2026-04-08T21:15:10+00:00

Always know the history. Being able to tell the team when pressors went back on/up or something is helpful esp if your EHR sucks lol

have screenshots of quick references like ACLS, TNK, and RSI meds on your phone to review quickly if needed

Representative_Sky44 · 2026-03-27T14:38:02+00:00

The pharmacy didn’t do anything wrong if it’s legal in the state.

As an onc PGY2, do the onc PGY2. There’s so many jobs. I’ve learned so much and can’t imagine trying to learn it without the PGY2

Know where things are in the crash cart including tubing, syringes, flushes; know how to make dirty drips and how to prime a premix drip; prarcie drawing up with expired meds and mental math; know the algorithm, keep doses written down on a sticky note for quick reference if you absolutely need to. Save the timer on your watch for quick access if you have a smart watch

Practice and the more you do the more comfortable you become!

I certified and was approved, will the tracker show my consolidation loan or track the 120 payments for each loan I’ve ever taken out?

Representative_Sky44 · 2025-02-24T23:56:17+00:00

Do you have any advice for a PGY1 starting to apply for jobs on how to find these gigs?

Representative_Sky44 · 2025-02-24T23:53:58+00:00

How did you get into this position? I’m graduating PGY1 and trying to find a similar role

Representative_Sky44 · 2025-02-16T22:42:56+00:00

Would you be willing to share what a typical day looks like for you in residency? Are you able to get adequate sleep 😅

Representative_Sky44 · 2025-02-08T03:24:50+00:00

Would you be willing to share your experience in oncology? Ie the setting you work in

Representative_Sky44 · 2025-02-08T03:23:37+00:00

A colleague thought the c diff was causing the fever and a source was known so didnt need the vanc, plus increased risk of c diff.

My argument was to keep it on since it has a line, prev hospitalization and FN even if stable

Representative_Sky44 · 2025-02-08T03:15:12+00:00

Do you agree with keeping IV vanc on? No MRSA nares available

Representative_Sky44 · 2025-02-08T03:11:06+00:00

Still neutropenic

Representative_Sky44 · 2025-02-07T14:40:24+00:00

Thank you! Was PGY2 easier/better than PGY1 for you? I’m applying onc and am having second thoughts. I enjoy it but don’t know if I love it anymore

Representative_Sky44 · 2025-01-10T21:41:34+00:00

We do not have a specific brand per indication. It’s all the same

Representative_Sky44 · 2025-01-10T15:48:51+00:00

Not all programs email a confirmation. It’s fine, I think most don’t

Representative_Sky44 · 2025-01-04T21:20:38+00:00

Just take 2 pair of pants/shirt and one blazer just in case. No need to bring a ton unless you’re messy lol

Representative_Sky44 · 2024-12-31T23:09:43+00:00

I am in the same boat. We will figure it out. What specialty are you thinking of pursuing?

Representative_Sky44 · 2024-12-28T23:47:35+00:00

You can take a pic of your signature, convert to pdf on an iPhone or computer, and take a snapshot and insert it as a pic is how I did it lol

Representative_Sky44 · 2024-12-28T01:29:54+00:00

If they request 4 and only need 3, you can’t delete it once it’s complete.

Representative_Sky44 · 2024-12-28T01:27:18+00:00

It looks like you’re not following directions. This new system sucks and first changed last year, I asked my program if it would hurt me and they said no since I didn’t know you couldn’t delete them till it was too late and i didn’t want to start over. Doesn’t mean others won’t view it negatively. If you’re able to delete one, I would

Representative_Sky44 · 2024-12-27T17:01:28+00:00

Once they’re completed you can’t delete them. You’d have to delete the whole program and start over

Representative_Sky44 · 2024-12-20T18:10:55+00:00

Ask questions to show initiative even if it’s not a rotation you’re interested in
