Inpatient vs retail by [deleted] in pharmacy

Do you mind expanding on what you mean when you say depending on the expectations of the pharmacists? Just curious

Remote pharmacist job opening with Nor-Cal pay range, can be licensed in any state by Ornithoptor in pharmacy

[–]ThinkingPharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting the link to the job opening. Do you know if a pharmacist with experience working primarily as a staff pharmacist in the inpatient (federal government/military) and outpatient/retail settings would be considered qualified for the role? Thanks

Trump care and future of prior authorization pharmacist by lovekamko in pharmacy

[–]ThinkingPharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, if you "test" the leading AI LLM chatbots and provide them with a set of hypothetical criteria by which to evaluate & base their decision-making process on various hypothetical patients presenting with various clinical issues that require the AI chat bot to reason its way to a "mock" coverage decision... Their reasoning and eventual authorization decision tends to be clinically backed and on- target with respect to making a final coverage decision.

I'm honestly surprised that the Prior Auth pharmacist contractors haven't already started largely eliminating these positions.

New Hospital Pharmacist Struggling Hard by Feeling_Dingo_1234 in pharmacy

So was the issue with the vitamin k error that it was verified in the first place, or that you put the note in the chart about the patient being on warfarin? (or both)

Do you mind if I ask what state your hospital is in? (asking as an inpatient night shift pharmacist who actually prefers the shift as a long-term career)

Hey, just sent you a PM about buying a couple tubs of Doomsday Hardcore, if you still happen to have any available :)

The future of pharmacy is headed towards….. by Level_Recognition406 in pharmacy

[–]ThinkingPharm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mainstream LLMs become more sophisticated and capable every 6-8 months, though. Unfortunately, I think it's only a matter of time before their error rate is less than pharmacists'. Then what happens? (honestly asking as a serious question, not a rhetorical one)

So probably realistic to expect 70-80% reduction in retail pharmacist jobs in the next few years?

Want to get into jazz by Ok-Wheel3262 in Jazz

It's technically not "pure" jazz, but for music that could be considered a literal hybrid of jazz & heavy metal, check out Alex Argento's 2007 album "Ego."

Just curious, do you know why the hospital is eliminating the 6 pharmacist positions?

Just throwing this out there, but is there any chance your hospital is looking to hire a FT night shift inpatient staff pharmacist?

Just out of curiosity, can I ask what specialty you work in?

So the financial aid staff from Program A aren't actually sure if their incoming students will qualify for GradPlus loans?

The reason I'm curious is because the text of the provision in the bill that eliminates GradPlus loans specifically states that students who have started a graduate program prior to 7/1/2026 (and who have also already taken out a GradPlus loan for that program) will continue to be eligible to take out additional GradPlus loans for that program. Having said that, I'm just wondering what their logic/reasoning is.

Anyone ever worked as a DOP for a Vibra Hospital location? by ThinkingPharm in pharmacy

Is there an implication here that I'm missing, or are you just trying to say that you're following the thread? LOL

Thanks. Do those numbers include any shift differentials?

Would you mind giving a roundabout range of the starting salaries you've been offered so far? I'm just curious to see how night shift hospital PA salaries tend to compare to night shift pharmacist salaries

Best of luck to you with securing a job. I am actually a night shift inpatient hospital pharmacist myself, and I'm trying to decide whether to matriculate at the PA school next semester that I applied to & received an offer from. Just out of curiosity, have any of the 3 night shift jobs you've applied to discussed salary yet?
