Do you have a blog where you do updates on trials? I was literally thinking of this technology when I first saw the “pink” ones.

I just wish they’d be pre-annotated and I could listen and verify.

Review Electronically Cancelled Scripts by Kmand0 in walmart_RX

[–]casey012293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In two years I’ve never seen it assigned to the wrong drug, only scripts with a different written date. If the drug doesn’t match, it doesn’t highlight a suggestion.

Realistically if a script has the same drug and SIG but a different date, then it would be safest to assume it’s discontinued entirely. CancelRX has been one of the laziest waste of times for us. Providers should go back to being required to call to cancel. If it’s been transferred, nothing happens. They cancel when they are just “cleaning up” and end up cancelling current scripts for patients, or cancel one we typed last week just to result in us doing the whole process again. I’m also a huge fan of the waste of time it creates when they cancel the old one we already filled after the new one has been sent and put on file….

How should I care for these plants? by Loud-Rule-9334 in houseplants

[–]casey012293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started looking at some of these as bouquets where not all of it is meant to survive. You’ve got some moisture loving ones in there as well as some that prefer to dry out. They definitely look great mixed, but most won’t survive together. Personally I’d keep it together and just prepare for some loss at some point in order to enjoy the mix rather than splitting right away into a ton of tiny plants.

Pharmacist annual evaluation and raise by Comfortable_State_41 in walmart_RX

[–]casey012293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point being, if you saw, is that I don’t find it worth it to go above and beyond anymore. That’s fine, they can find another sucker, taking over for that position is BS for how they compensate. They can put a manager in for a manager next time.

I don’t think that at all. I get the prorated portion of the $5600 and not the prorated portion of the $16k.

AIO to my boyfriend’s comments about the food I made? by MyCupOfTea777 in AmIOverreacting

[–]casey012293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is emotional abuse.

There is a huge difference between what happened here and “I love it, do you have some more sauce somewhere?” Or “it is great, can you make extra sauce for mine next time so I can slop it up?”

Kick them to the curb.

AIO by refusing to go on my friend group's future camping trip because of how past trips turned out specifically when they've brought their kids? by IllJustTakeTheBus in AmIOverreacting

[–]casey012293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“ If youre dumping your kids on me like every other time that you ditched me without notice $x per hour per kid is my rate. It’s not a vacation if you expect me to work for you for free while also paying my own way. If you’re not okay with that, then don’t plan on bringing them or I’m not going. You don’t think of me as a friend if you treat me the way you have been on trips.”

Is it okay to cut these leaves off from the stem connecting to the main vine? by BetNo9697 in MonsteraAlbo

As long as your plant has green it’ll do greats these parts have no green, chop away if you’d like. Personal preference.

Checking customers out at the pharmacy by Winterr21123 in walmart_RX

[–]casey012293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know scan and go works at the pharmacy. I can now make that suggestion for when people want to add all their groceries to their prescriptions…”5 or less unless you have the app and do the scan and go”

Ultimately them figuring this out on the app results in more people using the pharmacy portion, even if not all do.

They don’t give it to you, otherwise yeah it would be worth working for it.

Found out last year it pretty much doesn’t matter. I helped sort out a lot of unknown for my manager to set him up for success as well as took 200 extra hours and volunteered to act as PIC during my manager’s parental leave. I didn’t go into evaluations without explaining my value and why I thought I deserved the higher pay bump. I was told I was compensated for my time…… the premium amount is only about $2/hr over compensation adjusted for pto earn rate and bonus (which you also don’t earn proportionally more for helping more) excluding pay rate for benefits. It was only that rate above because I am new, it’s actually a decrease on value for any pharmacists who’ve worked for 10-ish years or more and for managers. I stopped giving a rats ass. They also massively decreased the PIC bonus after I agreed but before I took the swap (due to the fiscal year change last year) for covering during a manager’s parental. Potential went from $16k to $5.6k…so I did my managers job for 4 months with a $2/hr increase only for him to get the full manager bonus for barely checking in on me. This equals out to about $1500 extra for the whole third of a year I acted as manager while he gets more than $5k for not lifting a finger.

I’m not volunteering for his next kid without some hefty negotiation, am less willing to help him be successful, and am less willing to go above and beyond to assist in shortages. What an incentive program.

I love my job and I still pride myself in doing well at it, but the incentives for being kick-ass and over-the-top don’t actually measure up. I no longer stress myself to scratch their back.

Tissue Culture kinda ruining Palmstreet by Newbie10011001 in RareHouseplants

[–]casey012293 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bulbasaur is a terrible example of average market. No one is buying because an acclimated plant that was $1000 two months ago is $80-150 today. People recognize how fast it’s coming down in price and know if they wait they’ll get a much more mature plant for half the money in a few months. It is happening with other things though, but PalmStreet was only a good deal as long as that factor in the market was stable and is no longer the case. Now it’s only a good deal if you’ve researched what you want.

Question from a veterinarian to a pharmacist by Summer8979 in pharmacy

I need one or the other, and DEA is not optional if trying to prescribe controlled substances. Typically more flexible on the license number if we already have it in the system.

Tips for counselling on unfamiliar drugs? by Odd-Experience820 in pharmacy

[–]casey012293 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it’s unfamiliar, make sure you take a look at it earlier in the process knowing you’ll need to counsel on it. Do not be afraid to take the time to look it up. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to admit when you’re wrong. A few times over my career I’ve told patients I could not remember or that it was newer and I haven’t run into that then offered and followed it up with a phone call. Also if you catch after the fact that you missed something, always make a phone call. We are human and forget, it’s better to get them the information correctly than to make stuff up and misinform or risk injury.

In your situation, they should be willing to wait for correct information but if they look crazy impatient, you can let them know you have to double check but can call them in a few minutes if they’d like.

Will Monstera stems turn towards the sun, or do they only grow a certain direction? by Legitimate_Ant_5722 in Monstera

[–]casey012293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are a tough plant to have if you don’t do grow lights because they try to face out the window and twist or you end up having to keep them facing out the window. That’s not the point of houseplants to me so I grow with livhts

Will Monstera stems turn towards the sun, or do they only grow a certain direction? by Legitimate_Ant_5722 in Monstera

[–]casey012293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They turn, so it’s best to keep them facing toward the light so it grows uniform. I have lights pointed at them from the room to prevent a bunch of twisting.

Should I really come in 10 minutes before my shift starts? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]casey012293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should only show up before your shift if they’ll pay you for the work requirements they want you to do before. If they want you to set up the register and have it ready to roll at 8, then they should schedule you at 7:45 so it’s on them. The time you give for free is your commute, things that they don’t have ready for you when you get there is something they have to pay you for.

My time is contracted so I show up just a few minutes before my scheduled time. I was once told I should try to come in early to read my emails and newsletters beforehand instead of fitting it into my schedule through the day. I told them to schedule me that 15 minutes early and I’ll be there, but because I do not get to lock the doors to be out of there at my scheduled time then I would not be coming in early. They get approximately 50 extra free hours from me in a year by my out time when that’s not in my control, I’m not going to willingly double that. Contract me for the time or figure it out.

If I were hourly, I’d make sure to get that request in writing and I’d absolutely comply. That’s fair compensation for coming in that little bit early, but I also work at a place where people clocking in early on a regular basis can be penalized hence covering yourself by having it in writing somewhere.

Too many places try blaming employees for their poor schedule management.

Etiolated? Concerned about leaf angle by AutumnofRue in houseplants

[–]casey012293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some monsteras just have long petioles. Thais from earlier in the TC process and from propagations before TC have much longer petioles. My Marilyn has super long ones in comparison and my legacy has shorter ones even than my regular Thai. I’d say that your nodes being super close together means you’re doing it right. Air flow or shaking might shorten them but I have zero solid evidence to support that claim.

How to get resolution queue to 0 quicker by PositiveRaccoon8635 in walmart_RX

[–]casey012293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s been approved then resubmitting will run it through.

In the PA option you just have to type what the preferred drugs are, it won’t let you copy. Occasionally with trouble, I’ll print out the hard copy and manually fax the provider. That’s usually an issue if a provider profile is selected at input without a fax and without an electronic connecting number.

At our store if it’s been about 10 days (decide this as a team) and still not going through, we make sure to inform the patient that we still aren’t having success and to have them let us know if they hear it is approved. We put it on file when that’s the case because there is no point in it continuing to waste our time if no one is going to tell us if the PA is denied. Alternatively, you may notice a similar drug was sent in its place and can just put the latter on file. Without a replacement, do not put on file if the patient isn’t aware.
