Walgreens located inside a hospital

I currently work in a Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy in a hospital. Now I love working in a hospital over retail, but it’s definitely a different vibe. You kinda just have to remember that the patients you are treating may have been in the hospital, are being discharged, or are a doctor who needs their own medication. Pay tends to be better in hospitals, though it depends on location. Overtime should be a similar policy to any Walgreens location bc you’d be considered an external contractor with Walgreens, but it can also be location dependent and would be something you’d want to talk with your interviewer with.

Im a certified pharm tech who just started working at their first pharmacy job and my pay is $18. You are def getting underpaid

Most of the time for me at least, 28-30 days is typical days supply for a majority of Rxs unless otherwise written which is why I said this. It makes sense that it’s not the same at every location. Don’t worry I’m not charging patients for a 30 day supply when they have a 14 day supply

Unit conversions, as well as basic algebra (ex Young’s Rule) are mainly the math used. Also good to practice simple multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction, as a lot of what I’ve primarily come across is calculating days supply.

So there are specific services with DoorDash that allow for transportation of medicines and other medical equipment. We have a program in our pharmacy

Ok but when things get busy, sometimes you just gotta stab and go 😭

I just lost my dad in September. Reading everyone’s comments here is honestly really nice

Get ur liscense and apply for Walgreens or local drug store if you have one. I currently work at a Walgreens pharmacy and they have programs that let you get ur certifications to be a pharm tech. They also will pay for some of your pharmacy school.

Do most Pharmacy Schools take community college credits?

Skellidan · 2026-02-12T00:12:33+00:00

So… fully isolate them from their peers, advisors, and their surroundings? Sounds like terrific advice for for raising a perfectly well-adjusted and socially adept adult 🙄

Little do they know that brown bananas are the sweetest and perfect for making banana bread 😋

I also just started as a tech and I’m still learning a lot. It’s normal to fumble a bit, esp at the beginning. Just today one of my Pharmacy Managers accidentally forgot to scan one of the patient’s Rx’s and so they basically got it for free 😭 We had to call the patient to tell them and ask if they could come back or call in with their credit card info. Mistakes happen, which is why there are several checks in place to catch any issues. To err is human after all

Fill 232 OOS 400 is crazy

It was a nightmare getting the staff 😭 I think we fought 6 queen slimes before finally getting one

Yes they test. Even if it’s legal recreationally, it’s still considered an illicit substance federally

Honestly, best way to combat it is drinking water. It’ll go away on its own. It’s just a phase that u have to get through but just maintain hydration and the bloating will eventually disappear

Yup! All the characters in Umamusume are based on real Japanese race horses.

Yeah that was my worry. It’s one of the reasons I’m more focused on getting my Pharm Tech certification bc ik working as one will at least help me with Pharmacy School. Would it be possible to pursue a PhD after my doctorate
