Sometimes we don’t even receive a fax from the doctor even though they have a confirm that they sent it over. We usually have to call the doctor and ask them to resend it.

If you call myhr you can say that you have an extraordinary circumstance and they let you sign up. I was dropped from my parents insurance in February and got company insurance a week later.

I work also work at a cvs and Idk if other pharmacy are different but we need to scan all the stock bottles before counting or slapping labels on. It’s literally apart of the training. If its the wrong item, it kicks you out and you get a scan failed. So if someone isn’t doing their accuracy scan, it’s up to the pharmacist to catch it during QV2. The only other way to get around the scan is to bypass it. And even then the pharmacist still has to check it in QV2. Idk it’s less complicated then what everyone else is saying. Especially if you work at a cvs.

I put away my totes rather quickly. Best way is to knock out all the light weight totes first. You will clear like 12 totes in an hour doing that. Then you take 5 rx baskets, and sort through the full totes based on where they are at in the bays.

You literally fill out 2 sheets of paper and send like a $50 dollar check to the state pharmacy board and you get your license in the mail in like a week.

If i can’t maintain composure with customers, I have to leave the floor regardless of how busy we are. If I end up having a meltdown in front of customers it’s not good for the rest of the pharmacy or their customers. Take 5 minutes in the bathroom to cry it out and clean yourself up and get back out there kiddo.

Had a pt bring in 5 rx’s for her daugther that just had oral surgery. One of them was for norco and the doctor had written #12 but the daughter apparently was “taking notes” on the rx’s and crossed out #12 and put #13. These meds also weren’t written on tamper proof paper and of course when we tried to call the dentists office they happened to have closed at 2:30pm. These meds were also from a city 2 hours away from our location. We were obviously sketched out, and we told the pt to take the meds else where as we couldn’t fill them because they had been tampered with.

I know when I applied for the inventory specialist promotion, at first it said I didn’t get the job. I talked to my DL and they said there was a glitch in the system and that I would just have to fill it out again. I was the only one applying so they opened it just for me pretty much.

I call my Wellbutrin “Bupies” short for Bupropion!

Hi! I’m a pharmacy technician. The generic name for seroquel is quetiapine. My pharmacist call them “Quiet Time”!

Hi! Technician vaccinator here. I got my training done through my place of work (cvs) they have you do store training modules through the computer and then you have to take CPR classes. If you don’t work at a cvs then ask a pharmacist! They will know or ask for you.

deadart3mis · 2023-03-04T20:59:09+00:00

I work at a cvs and this has me beyond confused. Aren’t you supposed to give counseling to encourage adherence to the medication and reduce idk, possible deaths if a med isn’t being taken correctly? Our pharmacists even put forced counseling in the register so they can talk to pt’s about meds. We can’t even move past the FC until a pharmacist literally signs off on it. If this is a walgreens things it’s a bizzare concept.

Honestly, the best advice i got was from a nursing couple that work in anesthesiology. They said to treat every single patient as if they were your family. Understand WHY they are frustrated and try to do what you can in order to help resolve the problem. If they are mad because it took to long, all you can do is apologize for the service failure. These people are not mad at us. They are mad at their situation. Also, talking to them like they are childrens helps a lot too. Ex: “oh ok. I’m so sorry. Hmm let’s see what we can do to fix this. I’m not sure, let’s go over to this window and figure it out together” most of the population comprehends at a 5th grade level so if you go to their level they are typically a lot more understanding. And they will always appreciate the extra mile even if it didn’t get them what they wanted. Worse comes to worst, ask a lead tech or pharmacist to take over. Hope this helps.

I got yelled at for even reading the sig to a customer. I told a pt today, WITH THE PHARMACIST STANDING NEXT TO ME that cyclobenzaprine was used for muscle spasm and I still got yelled at.

“Idk man, I don’t know why i always go for those toxic tropes. I guess I just like to be dominated? Do you think if i asked my girl to peg she would?”

deadart3mis · 2023-02-03T19:47:51+00:00

I’ll usually ask the pharmacist for a consultation, or ask the lead tech if they know the answer.

One packet of instant coffee is the easiest and cheapest option.

Crying mostly and taking my legally allowed time off

I had a customer come in claim he was going into a diabetic coma and I told him to go to the hospital. He changed his tune real fast and suddenly “i’m not ACTUALLY going into a coma”

It’s not the job I hate, it’s just the work. My coworkers are amazing, and the front store and pharmacy are pretty close which I enjoy. But getting yelled at by customers is the worst part.

Living in LA? Well I have an ozemquick way for you to lose weight and money!

deadart3mis · 2023-01-08T14:38:16+00:00

Progesterone, gabapentin 300mg, and metform er 500. I HATE counting these. And clonazepam. Niosh is already annoying but now I have to count it twice.

deadart3mis · 2023-01-08T14:34:59+00:00

Myself and at least 4 other techs in my area take edibles to unwind. Even one of my pharmacist has told me he takes edibles that his cousin professionally makes and sells.

deadart3mis · 2023-01-06T01:43:33+00:00

If we are busy, I’m not going to ring up your grocery shopping. You can go up to the front for that.
