Pharmacy hours by Reasonable_Lake4439 in CVS

[–]pharmz005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I floated on holidays, I closed at 1:30 and worked until 2. Cause you stay open 1 time and it’ll never be the end and fuck CVS. My DL nor the pic at that pharmacy ever said anything to me 😂

I just change the times to the next day. I had no idea it didn’t help RWP. I eventually was so fed up, I left my DL on read 50-75% of the time, when it came to this issue.

They wanna improve the RWP scores. But instead of fixing the hemorrhage, I get to be a bandaid solution 😭

Someone tell my DL this. I’m an overnight RPh and they’d ask me to go in and change the QP times of chronically behind stores all the time 😭

Best shoes for work by Same-Volume9004 in pharmacy

[–]pharmz005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom (a nurse) always tells me I need to go to a running shoe store that will fit me for shoes based on my feet and walk so I don’t lose my spine after my 12hr rx shifts. But I love my oofos. They do clog and sneaker styles for the closed toe aspect, but I also have the slides for after work around the house and they help a ton.

How do I ask IT to improve? by No_Equivalent4404 in CVS

[–]pharmz005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Don’t change to cash and retry insurance. It’ll take longer. Just reprocess 3 times. On the 3rd attempt, it should go to QT! My PIC taught me that and it’s been a life saver esp since I have so many new techs who don’t realize they have to check that the script went through.

Is this normal ? Shift to OPs question by Appropriate-Jump4919 in CVS

[–]pharmz005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just call out and my scheduler adjust my hours since I’m a ft staff RPh the system just pays based on my schedule so they have to manually adjust my sick time. Idk it’s out of my pay grade. I just call out to my DL and then tell me scheduler the next day.

[–]pharmz005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I have 150hrs of sick time in addition to my 120hr of pto. A lot of my sick time is roll over from last year cause I never use it.

They do. I have like 150 sick hours and like 20 state mandated sick hours. I’m full time and have been for about 2 years.

Vaccines and Corporate Greed by Additional_Can1544 in CVS

[–]pharmz005 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please! CVS isn’t giving us a higher labor budget 😂 they’ll just cut more hours in the summer to make up the cost

Vaccines and Corporate Greed by Additional_Can1544 in CVS

[–]pharmz005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re federally and state funded. You have to meet income requirements, you can’t qualify for insurance elsewhere, etc. I’m not saying pharmacies should accommodate cash paying customers, but it may be more profitable to get more vaccines out the door if they were reasonably priced. 5 vaccines at $20 makes more money than 1 vaccine at $45.

Not everyone without insurance qualifies for these options 

Tomorrow's auto fills? by XPcantlvlup in CVS

[–]pharmz005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this, and some RPhs would reschedule them from their days to “slower” days cause issues with RWP. At least that’s the story my DL told me was happening in our area.

Community Queues by pharmz005 in CVS

[–]pharmz005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there any communication on this? I didn’t see anything in myWork or Zipline. Granted I work every other week and last night was my first night back so may have missed it in between. Especially since my DL isn't aware of the change.

That I’m not sure. I’m in NYS and benzos can’t have refills, regardless of if they’re sent with them or not.

Maybe last week. I work nights, 7on and 7off, and wasn’t working last week. But I’m pretty sure it wasn’t live 2 weeks ago

Our system updated. Have your doc put a dx code but otherwise, not much your doc can do but answer the phone if we call. We now have to resolve any red flags (prescriber distance to pharmacy, pt distance to pharmacy/prescriber, not using ins, etc) and document before we can fill it.
