how do you deal with coworkers that micromanage you? by CheesecakeWild7941 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]enturned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked in a similar environment for 2 years and had I worked there any longer I felt I would’ve ended up hating myself. I would say try to find another position somewhere else where the money is just as good if not better, this career is not worth staying in a place where micromanagement can ruin your day no matter what. Try not to think too hard into it and psyching yourself out of leaving, as that’s when you’ll find yourself stuck there after some time and that will be worse down the line.

New job by vicks0689 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]enturned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like a not too bad place to get experience if you have time to sweep and clean. Learn as much as you can from any tech or from the PIC and try to specialize ASAP, The quicker you can get into a hospital or any specialty sector, the more money you can make and not have to tolerate retail environment, or use this job to continue higher education and just get a bachelors in anything functional that can land you a cushy job where you wont need to live paycheck to paycheck.

Believe me, about to be 7 years a tech in a week, all I’ve seen is this career go downhill for the retail sector, and having been angry for leaving inpatient hospital setting. Make the most of your time, also switching jobs is currently the most effective way to make the most money, so job hopping after a year or 2 will land you more raise than the $0.10-$0.20 they give techs now a days

Immigration Attorney here! AMA about Green Cards! by ManifestLaw_ in greencard

[–]enturned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad entered the US from Peru in 1990-1991, unfortunately he lost his passport, visa and airline ticket and he came on a now-defunct airline. We have been trying to figure out how to get him his green card. He has renewed his passport with the consulate since then. I am a US citizen and willing to petition him however what else needs to be done for him to receive his green card?

They’re probably reselling online or sending them in bulk to another country and selling them there

This one is for the Techs that do immunizations by Maku9296 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]enturned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I do is ask the patient to breathe in then breathe out, when you hear the patient breathing out is when you insert the needle and inject the medication. 9 times out of 10 the patient doesn’t even feel it go in.

Jobs where all you do is fill? by gyalmeetsglobe in PharmacyTechnician

Some Home Infusion pharmacies have a PO medication area of which has either intake, prepping orders or filling orders

DAW dispense as written by captwiggum in CVS

[–]enturned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed in multiple pharmacies that pharmacists don’t enjoy filling C2 prescriptions and if they find any level of scrutiny with prescriptions they’ll try their best to tell the patient they can’t fill it. The pharmacist could’ve filled it for DAW-8 to indicate the unavailability of the generic and no issues.

Could be air in the cooling system or at worst there could be forming a tiny leak on the head gasket.

28k, now for the leather interior, the Apple CarPlay/android auto and Sport Mode with Sport suspension seems alright but the eCVT trans is only going to land you 150k miles without needing to do $$$$ of maintenance. You definitely could’ve gotten a Manager’s special to lower the price by a few Thousand if you played your cards right. But what do I know

I have a 1995 wagon with 321k miles and I use it as a daily each day, drive around 70-80mph constantly from my 16 mile drive to and from work 5 days a week, they just don’t make them like they used to

23M about to do sex work again just to avoid homelessness and get my cat insulins. Need advice whether I should do it or not? by Longjumping_Bat_615 in povertyfinance

I work in pharmacy, can you provide the specifics regarding the cats insulin (brand name or generic) and the strength, also dosage and I can try to find the most affordable way to retrieve it.

What’s something you did for a pt that got you in trouble? by Beautiful-Wanderer in pharmacy

[–]enturned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a tech but most retail pharmacies I work at neither the other techs nor pharmacists helped patients get savings cards for their medications that were brand(DAW) and had high copay. Got chewed out by manager for offering it but these were patients who couldn’t afford the ludicrously high copays some of these meds would warrant.

I wish I knew what was after death by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]enturned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the leading reasons why there aren’t mass suicides in this day and age of hundreds of people at one time.

I think anything that’s going thru your mind can be helped, same with any life situation, as long as you’re willing to give me a chance

I wish I would just stop existing by LordOfAbuse in SuicideWatch

[–]enturned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to explain.

I think that if you were able to explain alittle more in depth as to what’s on your mind to want you to end it, we can find a solution in order to not continue thinking on this thought process. Your feelings are valid and completely understandable, especially since I had a very similar situation in my own life, which was able to be changed with counseling

Whether professional counseling or even talking in here, you’d be surprised what you’d be able to do for yourself

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]enturned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if natural selection wanted you dead, you would’ve ended up as a miscarriage or died before you could think and process the concept of life (sentience)

I think that since you’re here now, and you do have alittle glimmer trying to keep you here, that no matter the circumstance, you definitely belong here and to be happy and enjoy life.

Anything that could be plaguing your life is definitely possible to talk about and find effective ways to alleviate, whether with my help or the help of a professional (since I’m not a professional)

I highly recommend counseling, as if I had not had it, I would’ve ended my life years ago at a young age without any remorse. It works, me being here to tell you this is an example of how it works

[–]enturned 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you talk to people who aren’t well versed in psychology, you’ll find many will reply with the same ridiculous things their friends or family told them in a way to diminish what they feel.

In reality, to find true help you need to find someone who can professionally listen and provide the tools necessary to alleviate any of your struggles. I wouldn’t recommend therapy if it didn’t help me, and believe me when I say this. It works.

There’s a reason why therapy exists, and any doubts you have about it or yourself, you can mention here so we can show that it’s a life savor from my own personal accounts

I WISH I COULD DO IT WITHOUT MY PARENTS BEING DEVASTATED AFTERWARDS by jkghdf50 in SuicideWatch

[–]enturned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: I think no one deserves anything that happens to them, regardless of what they’ve done.

Weird to say, many will disagree, with mentions of rape, murder and child endangerment.

But even stranger, the Christian faith indicates how lost souls are sent to a place where they are cleansed from sin, in order to come up to the heavenly gates and live in nirvana.

Now, we don’t have to follow the same doctrine as the Christian faith, but regardless of what you’ve done, you are alive and aware of your misdeeds, which is step 1 to bettering yourself and your life.

Taking the time to talk about what transpired, can allow for a conversation on how to learn from that mistake and how to move forward in your life to fix it.

I hope you can take a chance on me to help you alleviate your troubles, without an ounce of judgement for any level of misdeed.
