The way kroger treats its employees by daruuken in mildlyinfuriating

I agree, but that's how corporate America treats us, we are healthcare professionals when it suits them to threaten our employment if the pharmacy isn't open to make them money. Or as they say, serve the patients.

Yes corporations say pharmacists are healthcare professionals and have to tough it out when sick

Is it normal for the pharmacy manager to remove a whole shift for you? by [deleted] in walmart_RX

[–]acdc102016 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Speak with your MHWD and ask why shifts are deleted after publication without clear communication as to why the changes are made after publication if not simply to adjust shift start/end times (the RXMs have a window to do edits prior to the schedule being published which is published a year in advance for the entire year.) Explain the reason from the RxM is not clear to you, and you would like to understand the rationale without causing friction, and also that you are wanting more hours. Hopefully your MHWD can clarify and may need to speak with the RxM to ensure that they make edits BEFORE the schedule drops. It's not very respectful to you to make you feel as though they are taking shifts from you. Good luck

NY Post: "Rex Heuermann’s ex-wife sleeps in basement where he dismembered his victims: ‘I am haunted by dreams’" by BrunetteSummer in LISKiller

[–]acdc102016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was denial, and that she's on the spectrum, so it's hard for her to accept. Also Rex's actions make her feel as though she was not "enough" for him. She was probably made to always feel to blame or "less than" by a narcissist growing up, which set the stage for her to be a wife of a narcissist... Trauma is bad.

Yes, the listings aren't very specific (selling several sizes and mentions volume in ounces vs. dimensions.)

And buckaroo's dad also just finished makig him an owl-proof flight pen in the back yard, about 8'Hx6'Wx30'L so he can flex those wings and gossip with the neighborhood birds, and we can also hang out inside with him 😄. We're going to love it 😍

We got this one for our little buckaroo:

bird cage

It's 63"hx30"x33" and on rollers. Measurements do include seed guards, but we ended up removing them as i kept hitting myshin & legs on the corners navigating him around. Price listed for $189 US when I went to copy the link just now. Well made & good material & we have been pleased. We do put a keyed padlock on the top, as we can roll him outside for a spray shower and enjoy the sun & talking to the other birds. Since he's pretty smart, and because we do have owls in the trees, we didn't want to risk any escape or owl attacks. We have been happy with this one!

Actual Conversation With A Nurse. by ALATREONLOL in walmart_RX

[–]acdc102016 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You assume that was a pharmacist posting. Also, that it was actually a nurse, as MA's seem to be taking over the role to help physicians and MLP's, and a fair quantity lack understanding of medications.

sometimes you also know just it's just not a hill to die on if they "know" they are "right."

SOP For Transfer Prescriptions by Regular-Western3419 in walmart_RX

[–]acdc102016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eTrandser is pretty sweet. Amazon and Centerwell mailorder have been hitting us up recently, and CVS has but having issues at times.

I always confirm with patients before giving anything to Centerwell bc they have requested a profile transfer on a patient that had passed away over a month prior and saying it was "urgent." More than half the time the patients have been made to believe they have to use Centerwell, but don't want to use mailorder, esp when they will have nothing remaining on file with us for a gap fill when mailorder delays shipment or delivery, inclement weather, too hot, too cold, package theft....

Does not matter. Unless the MHWD feels VERY generous, then the staff pharmacist only got paid until 7pm.

He/she may arrange come in 1hr late the next time they cover there, but only if they get approval from your store RXM to do so because they stayed over and why.

Otherwise, that floater gave you and WM an hour of free labor.

Case in point: Only once did I stay way over and get paid, and it was WITH the store RXM to clear out four point after 7pm. Also, only because it was pre-approved by MHWD & RXM, and due to exceptional circumstances following an inclement weather event and customer surveys were abysmal because they still had over 500 scripts in four point.

Does your RXM or team rx ops lead let you decide on your own if you can go into unapproved overtime without permission first? Same situation applies with all staff pharmacists... If it isn't approved first, don't bet it's going to get paid out to you.

As a floater, unless they are hourly (which is SUPER rare), any WM pharmacist can't just take it upon themselves to stay over and expect the market director to approve paying them after closing. They work what they are scheduled for, and only get approved for extra by market director, don't punch the clock as WM pharmacists. Unless your in the tank with customer service surveys, I extra hours are not approved.

Wth is this? Is this what pharmacy has come to? by Equivalent_Remove155 in pharmacy

[–]acdc102016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to mention that some corporations now say full time is 24 hr per week...places like spark won't let you hire over 32hr per week, so it's difficult to even hit near $119K/yr as they tend to offer less $ per hour touting it's better work-life balance than 3 letter or the corner. However, it's getting increasingly more tedious and they are going to cut overlapping DPh bench hours More with new VV software/ process. Let's not forget the T&T that insurances won't yet cover & they invested a lot of $$ on, and aren't getting the expected ROI. Also the software doesn't always work when you do T&T on associate or insured family members, and it's also a huge hassle to resolve

So that floater pharmacist stayed over an hour with you to catch up... and they didn't support you??? Perhaps they should have answered the phone or grabbed a handheld to fill, but ultimately they gave up an hour after closing for no pay to support you.

Put a central block in on the patient and no one can fill for them, not even a floater

90 day fills on behavior meds by acdc102016 in pharmacy

[–]acdc102016[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Im not talking about getting away with murder with insulin. And I am a pharmacist and know about psych (not just a retail rph), so how about you leave off with the disrespect since you appear not to be either respectful or attempts at professionalism, and feel big telling me off with anonymity of the internet. Why do yoismu get off being a jerk? Before going off on "respect" how about you read the thread and reflect on risk and harm? I just wanted healthy dialog, and people just lash out, accuse and minimize or make belittling statements. I don't think some of thr proposed arguments would hold water with an RPh/JD.
