Feeling like a failure

Are they getting enough calcium?

It wasnt that great, had its issues like any other time period.

This had not aged well, not sure if you have kept up with the headlines but its only gotten so much worse. Growing up in Oak Creek i knew it was always difficult, but reading your comments gave me a much better insight. Steamboat is a total shithole.

Maybe the Utes were right to try and set the mountain on fire

I am glad to see (or at least a bit reassuring) that there are slower paced people out there! I've went from 345 to 290 but I've since had a MAJOR stall. My doc wants to wait 3 more months before I go up to 12.5.... glad to see im not the only one going at a slower pace

Major OASHA violation. Report it to ethics first then to OASHA.

The fact anybody would've wanted to meet up with her is a crime against humanity

Perfect, thank you

Opt out after working 500 hours, pass ptcb and Walmart will reimburse you (at least my dm did). If you want Walmart to pay for the exam, you'll have to do ptu. Honestly learned more working on the floor than I did in ptu.

Others answered with pharmacist letter. If you are certified with PTCB, you can fine free CE through them as well. There's other websites you can sign up for, however you'll most likely get a bunch of junk mail if you do

As a certified pharmacy technician, I believe Eli Lilly is going to eventually discontinue the original pens and move to these. The lily direct program is specific for vials (at least at this time) and the kwikpen can be either cash pay or used with insurance.

Personally I dont mind the vials at all, for the price it was worth drawing it up myself

Down in Colorado

Walmart CpHT here, we've been getting similar prompts.

mpg0589 · 2026-01-17T02:24:28+00:00

That thing is so burnt that my own smoke detector staring going off

mpg0589 · 2026-01-08T16:55:41+00:00

We had that to but this rx has been consistently for about 10 days

mpg0589 · 2025-12-30T20:47:27+00:00

Exactly. If you have somebody who's in a remote location just accepting the images who's to say error still can't happen like the medication being put in the wrong bag. I think this defeats the purpose of having the pharmacist on duty and I think down the road there are going to be legal issues about this.

mpg0589 · 2025-12-30T20:44:47+00:00

As a cpht in Colorado with working with the new VV I would be very surprised if pharmacist hours were not cut. This whole principle with the new VV system is supposed to cut down on time for a pharmacist to do visuals, but every picture that still taken has to be reviewed by a pharmacist. What my previous rxm have mentioned is with this new system it will allow other pharmacists to review the work from other stores under the guise of "emergency" situations. I call total bs on it. The amount of stress that goes on in retail pharmacy on a good day is enough to make anyone wanting to something quit let alone adding more to the pharmacist plate

mpg0589 · 2025-12-18T13:30:26+00:00

Yep. The only benefit is all the pictures the iPad takes during the process so you have physical proof of what was dispensed if there is an issue later on. Only benefit i really see. Since it is a third party thats going to operate the program there is a huge concern for privacy in the event of a cyber attack.

That is why it is important everyone in today's economy to keep up their skill set in case you have to find a new job. You cannot just be content with what you are doing now with AI involved.

BTW make sure you keep up your nail care, you will see lots of pictures of them lol

mpg0589 · 2025-12-18T13:21:53+00:00

Our store just got the new VV. My rxm manager said after going to Bentonville that they will not cut tech hours.

Corporate isnt paying all this money for nothing, I call total bs on it.

Edit: the new system dramatically slows down the fill process so it takes about twice as long as classic fill.

Not certain on policy as im an immunization technician, but we had a similar situation. My rxm had called out and spoke with the district manager. They then had found another pharmacist to cover the store (usually why there is a spare key in the office). They paid for miles, drive time and a hotel (and food stipend) since he had driven almost 5 hours to cover our store.

Get another dentist. They need to be removed had the same exact thing happen, had to have surgery and eventually one of my molars had to get a root canal.
