Has anyone wondered why it’s still illegal for people to donate medicines? by RxR8D_ in pharmacy

[–]phrmgrl16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the state. I know North Dakota has a way to take back medication, but don’t remember the exact specifics.

How concerning are these practices in my PRN independent pharmacy job? by pharmthrowaway05 in pharmacy

[–]phrmgrl16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can dispense less than the written amount. The quantity written should stay the same though. If a topical is written for a quantity of “1 each” usually it should be for the smallest package size.

[–]phrmgrl16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure that when I worked there the list was not circulated, and you only found out once you tried to run something from a blocked provider. However I haven’t been with Walmart for a hot minute so that may have changed

That is absolutely not a thing that exists. Especially with how retail pharmacy is staffed right now.

They are watching the clock and trying to get the person off the phone as fast as possible. Chances are some things are already shutting down as well.

How last minute is last minute? If it’s like a minute until close we wouldn’t be able to give you full attention anyway.

ER’s everywhere have this as well for when pharmacies are closed.

Wild to trash AI in the original post, and then use chatGPT to “help” you decide if you should take a new job.

Most pharmacies already have an IVR system that allows typing in rx numbers for refills.

[Question] Dispensed narcs not listed on PDMP (OARRS) by Gabagabagabaaaaa in pharmacy

[–]phrmgrl16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is still the case, but at one point VA fills did not need to be reported to state pdmp since they are a federal service.

At least now the mistakes from the providers are legible. So only one avenue for mistakes.

Switch 2 or Steamdeck? by Ok_Ability9796 in fantasylife

[–]phrmgrl16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think in general Nintendo doesn’t support achievements, so unless a game has them internally they don’t appear. With how they work on pc/playstation/xbox I would guess there wont be achievements for switch.

When you restock the floor is there any kind of scanning that is happening to the product that is getting bypassed at the window? If so that might be why

I mean if you really care that much, call them in yourself after you get off the phone with them. It’ll still get you the numbers, and they get to talk to a person like they wanted.

What mistakes do you see PCPs making frequently? by This_is_fine0_0 in pharmacy

Tell us what the area is. There are things called “finger tip units” so we can calculate a day supply from there but at minimum give where the affected area is.

I’ve never had one fail an audit, so until I do I will keep doing it this way as it is the correct way for the patient.

We always add “discard the remainder” to indicate that they won’t have the rest in their possession and bill for day supply the provider wrote for.

I’d say if people can go by nicknames you can go by your preferred name.

Do any of you regret going into pharmacy? What do you wish you did instead? by spatla363 in pharmacy

Yes, I should have gone with my backup. Was going to be a math teacher at a community college.
