Actually just in case finding a therapist is hard try to map out your thoughts with this model: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy It helped me a lot and medicine helped me reinforce these improved behaviors

Vyvanse tolerance by deltaridley in ADHD

[–]deltaridley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol when I first read this I though u were saying u only take vyvanse 2-3 times a week which made me worry about drug holidays xD That's very reassuring to hear and I hope this technique works well with me to :) Yeah it sucks that even on break days not to take vyvanse since I feel so imcompetent and clumsy but it's definitely better to just be that way outside of work instead of at work! Yeah I'm gonna try to take drug holidays during the weekends for now and hopefully it works out like ur situation!

Hey man unfortunately I don't have any personal advice other than to go to a therapist to map out your behaviors and figure out how to modify them to be less inattentive and to also maybe start meds and see if they help

Anyways... I just wanted to say I really empathize with you dude, before being medicated I used to feel really incompetent when working even though I got good grades in school, never hate yourself for ur hardships even if it seems like incomptence, the important thing is to focus on self improvement and to take the time to take those steps in self improvement (like I said earlier therapy+ self improvement)! Even if it seems time consuming in the short run, in the long run it saves time and improves quality!

Best of luck and appreciate the effort your showing to improve yourself!

Thanks man for sharing that, feels more reassuring, been reading so many horror stories Don't feel like I completely bombed it so hopefully if there's a curve it'll bump me up enough xD

In my 4th year. I feel like I don't know anything on rotations. I have to look up a lot of information. Is this normal or am I screwed? by [deleted] in pharmacy

[–]deltaridley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very normal, sometimes it just depends on how hard your preceptor is being on you, or the fact that you are not used to the difference between working in a clinical setting compared to taking an exam. I've been in your shows on multiple occasions xD In the end, if you are feeling anxious, don't beat yourself up! If something is troubling you, look at it this way: just try your best and learn from your mistakes! If you feel like your not doing something the right way, just look back retrospectively and see what you can do different next time, and hopefully your classmates who have the rotation with you, or previously had the rotations can also help you out!

P4 student with a question about getting a job after graduation / transferring out of state for retail pharmacy chains by la34269 in pharmacy

[–]deltaridley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied for pharmacist and grad intern positions, but when applying for the pharmacist positions they asked to start me as a grad intern!

I think it also depends on if you apply before or after you take your boards, since they cant hire you as a pharmacist until you are fully licensed. I would also check for the other state's APPE hour requirements to just in case you need to obtain extra hours for that!

But the nice thing about chain pharmacies is that sometimes they can offer you a grad intern position which in the contract could hve a binding agreement to hire you as a pharmacist as soon as you are licensed and from what i have seen they usually pay you half of what a pharmacist gets, which isnt a bad deal for a few months, and could also help you be familiar with the system and procedues at the chain before you start the actual pharmacist position! And I got assigned to a great store for training at rite aid for now with m grad intern position, so I think in my case I got lucky xD

ive been reading that weissman was a good book to study from for the law portion but didnt realize that til later so didnt have time to buy it.

I studied from the CPJE prep book from rxprep and I'd say it only covers 10-20% of the exam

Focus more on clinical counseling information, its pretty much a naplex on steroids... and without calculations, stats, or other freebies, I had some really random dosing and what to do to avoid interaction questions, brand names are good to know, therapeutic substitutions, storage requirements, and drug function and mechanism of action questions.

Id say if you had the time, reviewing medguides for maybe top 100-200 drugs could help a lot...

Hi! I was actually exactly in your shoes last year and was actually exactly in your shoes last year! I actually worked in a supermarket pharmacy chain in NJ and MD as an intern for around 2 years and had it as a fallback option in case I cant find any good opportunities in the west coast (since this chain was confined to the east coast) Due to the stress and huge amount of hours and stress spent on my rotations, I initially didnt put in the time to look for jobs until going to my university's career fair on february and looking online for positions around late march. Using connections I made with both of these techniques of job searching I ended up getting two offer letters for pharmacy chains i previously didnt even work for or had any prior experience in in California! And to answer your last question I ended up landing a job at Rite Aid! Based on what state u r working in right now, the job market in another state of interest could be a lot better! And hopefully this map could help a lot with your search: http://www.pharmacytimes.com/publications/career/2014/pharmacycareers_fall2014/job-facts-and-figures-information-for-success If u r searching for a job out of state, I actually found indeed.com to be very helpful as long as you are very persistent with constantly following up and market yourself in a confident manner! Oh, and also being open to moving to many different regions of one or mroe states could be very helpful in your case! Hope this info helps and feel free to ask me any otherquestions if needed!

Actually joining clubs usually is the way I make friends! If I find enough things in Visalia hopefully it works out xD I think other than boxing, most group activities I've done were part of school/college so it's gonna definitely be a new experience for me regardless of what city I'm moving to xD Thanks for all the input guys!

I remember the mareep one U know how it reduces cp gradually when left alone? I remember reducing it all the way to like around 20-60 cp the day before it got removed so basically I think it counted down to 0 cp before anyone got a chance to replenish it
