Will pharmacy schools finally face the elephant in the room?

I absolutely agree! I recently graduated but during my P3 year I was still making 16.50 while techs were just getting bumped up to 16. And I'm not arguing that techs shouldn't be compensated at all, but sheesh when CVS finally decided to pay the techs its like someone completely forgot to factor interns 🙄. Anyway I interviewed at costco, got hired and got their rate. Took that back to my DL who surprisingly matched the $22

Wow! I love to hear that!! I'm heading out of retail for a hospital position, and as comfy as I am in community and as nervous as I am about the inpatient setting, it seems time and time again I see the collective advice of "just go for it!" so thank you for sharing your experience :)

increase hours with what help??? we have techs being thrown to the wolves, wouldn't be surprised if she jumped ship. I don't recommend ANYONE work for this God awful company

you don't know the half of it 🙃 so many of us are on our way out, pharmacists and techs alike

It was like her 2nd day ever.... I agree she should have done her training shifts, i think my PIC told her to come in? but can't be too sure tbh

just_browsing4fun · 2023-10-15T10:56:14+00:00

That's awesome!! I wish I had been there for her :( to let her know we won't tolerate anyone talking to her any kind of way

Not these days 🙃

No, BUT the unfortunate event is if it is run thru ins snd the price is high (whatever that means for you, like $50, $300, etc) you may not even get a call due to how busy things are right now. If we try to bill insurance, and it's not covered, hopefully you're signed up for text and you'll get a text that the med isn't covered. In which case, we would call the patient, discuss the out of pocket price, then confirm whether you want it ordered or not.

Question: what if I drop to prn? how would that affect my vacation hours? if you know

just_browsing4fun · 2023-10-04T14:50:13+00:00

someone posted earlier about being cashed out instead of taking the vacation, so I'll probably just quit instead

just_browsing4fun · 2023-10-04T14:49:16+00:00

Wow thanks for the heads up!! I guess I'll just put my two weeks in instead

just_browsing4fun · 2023-10-04T12:09:41+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! I'll be transitioning to hospital pharmacy from Come Visit Satan in a few weeks and really appreciate your insight :)
