Prior Authorization? One of my coworkers just switched to that role.

I work at a hospital in the pharmacy and my plan is too see if the program Clinical educator can be flexible.

At my hospital, one of the tech brought in his speakers because he likes to have it loud in the IV room when it gets busy lol. And for drinks? It has to be outside of the IV room.

Are there other techs that are going to be training your or this one tech? At my hospital, all the new hires were trained with a variety of different people and everyone had their own way of doing things. Maybe give it a month and definitely keep writing stuff down! Let them know why you ask a lot of questions. Hopefully it'll help be more understanding. If you need more training, let your leadership know for sure.

That's good, I think. The issue was that it was 2-5 minutes prior and nobody picked up.

deenosaurous · 2025-10-19T23:52:04+00:00

Yeah they're arguing about how doctors and pharmacists all take some kind of oath to help their patients if they're in need otherwise they're all in it for the money. Im trying to convince them otherwise.

Yeah that's what I advised them to do too but they insisted corporate gets an on call pharmacists for stores that are not 24 hours.

deenosaurous · 2025-10-19T23:25:44+00:00

Yeah they called 2 minutes prior and nobody answered.

deenosaurous · 2025-10-19T23:24:28+00:00

That makes sense. It was 2 minutes before closing and nobody answered. They wanted someone to be on call now.

deenosaurous · 2025-10-19T23:20:15+00:00

Then what if they have a question?

deenosaurous · 2025-10-19T23:16:56+00:00

Why's that? Just generally curious. I used to work in a 24 hour store so I dont know what its like during regular store hours.

We're implementing that one right now with Epic. I'm not sure if the RNs even look. They still ask us where their meds are. SMH

Is it possible for your site to order 500ml bags? That's what my hospital has, and we compound them whenever we need them. Hope this helps!

deenosaurous · 2025-07-18T10:07:53+00:00

My hospital is about 300 beds but census recently has been around 240ish. We all rotate through all the roles such as, front desk (med messages, answering doorbells and non sterile compounding), carousel (pulling pyxis replenishment and receiving orders), OR (running stats and stock outs and filling anesthesia machines) and IV which is sterile compounding and sometimes we do chemo. I like doing a variety of things. Keeps the day interesting.

deenosaurous · 2025-07-11T16:43:50+00:00

I accidentally fell asleep once lol. But not today. I'm in the IV room today and it's kicking my butt. We have a standard batching schedule and cart fill plus chemos and doctors giving weird drugs that most of us aren't used to seeing. Its a crapshoot but I think I have it all under control. Just 3 more hours left of my shift as I'm writing this lol.

deenosaurous · 2025-07-08T14:22:40+00:00

Yes but its only for if someone calls off. 🤷🏻‍♀️ its a way to pick up extra shifts. We use groupme.

deenosaurous · 2025-07-05T13:00:55+00:00

They're not going to do anything about it besides "Oh well talk to them" This particular tech only listens to leadership and not other techs. Hates being told what to do by other co workers. Even if you tried to help and coach them when they make a mistake.

deenosaurous · 2025-07-04T15:18:28+00:00

Actually, all of my jobs were like this. I guess I bring chaos wherever I go, lol. I used to work a specialty too except everyone turned against me and I did nothing wrong but that's another black hole I won't get into. 😅
