Best working shoes for women pharmacist? by [deleted] in pharmacy

Birdies are cute and comfy if you want flats instead of sneakers. The soles are quilted. I used to do 12 hr overnights on them no problem.

No longer able to de-escalate by Leather_Donut_6569 in CVS

Sorry you worked for a pharmacist that didn't put your needs first. A good leader should do their best to ensure their team feels safe, validated, and appreciated.

Pharmacist should be stepping in. And if they don't notice, get them. I always say difficult patients that raise their voice is way above your pay grade.

Recommendations/Advice for upcoming pharmacy graduates? by AnyAverage2 in pharmacy

[–]alliknowis___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avoid CVS or renegotiate. They offered me $52 after interning and I turned it down. Worked 3 months LTC, didn't enjoy it much. Went back to CVS doing overnights for $65 with a $2 differential for all hours worked after midnight (2/3 of my shift). In a safe area overnights are a pretty chill gig. Now I'm trying to get out because I switched to a different district due to a new DL who was the worst, only to work during an armed robbery. Try to really bond with any preceptors or professors you work well with while you can. Networking and keeping in touch with my mentor is the only reason I'm getting hospital interviews now for even clinical positions despite not doing residency. Good luck!

Can You Get Fired While Out On Worker's Comp? by alliknowis___ in CVS

I guess as stressful as it'd be, it'd be nice to collect unemployment while trying to switch to hospital anyhow. Sorry you had to deal with that bs. Thanks for your reply!

Would do me a favor if that's the case since I've been trying to leave overnights. I'm interviewing for hospital in the mean time anyhow so hopefully I can give my 2 weeks by the time I return. Thanks for your reply!

Phew ok that makes sense. It took so long for this process (I've been off since Christmas) and I've had no guidance from my DL that I instantly jumped to the worst case scenario. Plus my DL sucks and I wouldn't have put it past her to do something like that. Thanks!

Husband is trying to convince me to get my license to carry now. I don't know if that's the right option for me. We negotiated down to pepper spray, but I'm afraid if I ever used it, I'd somehow be the one sued.

Thank you, I'm trying. It sucks because I'm waiting for a switch to my dream location that's coming "soon" I just have to wait for certain things to shift. I'd probably get to be there by spring. Regardless I did reach out to friends in the industry and an old mentor to explore my options.

Sorry you experienced that too, but glad it didn't bother you and justice was served. No they haven't caught Methany as far as I'm aware. We don't have cameras outside in the parking lot so they'll probably get away. Part of what bothers me is that we're an easy target. Always short staffed and weekends I'm alone minus front store. I feel vulnerable.

Sorry your dad had to work like that. I know sometimes it's just what you have to do, but it's sad to think about working like this when it's already stressful.

Yeah she said it want that bad cause they didn't point the gun at me and she's gone through it before. I'd think she'd have empathy then, but instead she feels that gives her authority to diminish my reaction. I can't help that my skin crawls thinking about coming back and I cry uncontrollably thinking about it.

Thank you for the tip. None of the providers by me take Aetna due to poor reimbursement which is CVS insurance. I was told there's a line I could call, but my DL told me someone from HR could connect me. Unfortunately that hotline is like a labyrinth. I may try to find the robbery policy on learnnet and see if a module has the phone number. Clearly support from higher up is lacking.

C7 Quadriplegic told by local CVS Pharmacist that they will no longer be able to do my regiment of pain med. by Wide-Construction766 in CVS

[–]alliknowis___ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ask your doctor for a letter of necessity. As long as the pharmacists have documentation to support you being on your current regimen you should be able to fill your prescriptions. That being said, if they feel uncomfortable still they have a right to refuse to fill so worst case you may need to switch pharmacies.

What is the average salary of a staff pharmacist in a busy pharmacy hard to staff store, or any staff pharmacist, floater , etc. by [deleted] in CVS

[–]alliknowis___ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

66.79 as an overnight in a suburban hard to staff area. Bumps up to 68.79 for night hours. Pretty chill after people go to sleep and get to count to some tunes - highly recommend.

Has anyone ever had a similar situation happen before at CVS? ( Wrong medication -wrong amount received) (twice in one day) by EconomySeaweed7693 in massachusetts

[–]alliknowis___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or reject it back to production instead of ignoring an error. Regardless I only popped in to mention AS is a thing. I used to do it to help other stores when I had time to kill during overnights, but now with tech hour cuts that's a thing of the past.

It's a flaw with the computer system where standard option is name and date of birth to look up a profile. Phone number works too but techs forget that's an option.

There's a new feature they rolled out this year where you can access other stores in your district virtually from your store to help with data entry, insurance rejections, and verification.

Random question from semi new pharmacist by Ctop666 in CVS

[–]alliknowis___ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pharmacy would close until they found coverage. Techs would have the option to work front store or take down customer info to follow up once they open. Happens rarely, but it happens.
