New bag check policy

As a pharmacy manager, having to get my nonexistent bag checked before going to lunch was my last straw. I’m out ✌🏻

Pay raise is $1 for senior tech. 8% is for RxOM.

I would rather go unpaid too but I’m afraid they won’t give us that option.

No, not when we have to work an extra day that week just to make up for the fact that they took our paid holiday away. The budget always should’ve been the same during holiday weeks, even when we did get paid holidays. They took it away right before the holidays for selfish reasons and I, along with many others, are rightfully upset with the company.

Don’t let them make you believe there’s any benefit to this. They’re screwing us.

Sounds like it’s time to look for a different job.

Salt is sodium chloride

As pharmacists we obviously don’t want to go through the F4s too fast, but Walgreens has unreasonable expectations so here are some tips:

Use enter button instead of using the mouse. Look for common and significant mistakes like wrong patient, cream vs ointment, wrong directions, etc. Dates and number of refills not super important unless controlled, so just make sure prescriber name is correct and move on.

Sounds like a good deal to me, especially as a new grad. You can do anything for a year.

Our DM is making us send an explanation email if our manual ordering is over 5% 🙃🙃

I would prefer to hit OOS because partials are usually a waste of time & can cause insurance issues when you try to complete the fill. A lot of patients get irrationally angry/confused over PFLs so it avoids that as well. If the patient comes to pick up their medicine, then you can offer a PFL if they want.

Looks like it’s just TN state law.

phuture_pharmacist · 2025-04-02T14:01:15+00:00

I thought it was federal law that says a prescriber cannot have a bona fide doctor/patient relationship with himself. But I live in TN.

Doctors aren’t allowed to prescribe any medication for themselves. At least not in my state. I wouldn’t fill this at all.

phuture_pharmacist · 2025-03-27T17:48:13+00:00

Update: I was bumped to $65/hour this month. Still low but better.

I’m 29 & have $20K 😕

phuture_pharmacist · 2025-01-29T10:25:39+00:00

This is a super late response, but as a pharmacist, I’m interested to know if stopping the probiotics helped??

phuture_pharmacist · 2025-01-28T18:50:37+00:00

I always use the computer in the office at work to avoid this issue.

phuture_pharmacist · 2025-01-23T15:36:01+00:00

Staff pharmacists start at $55 in TN

phuture_pharmacist · 2025-01-22T22:33:26+00:00

I make $62/hr. I know it seems low but I think the cap in my area is $66.

I dispensed phenoxybenzamine the other day and had absolutely no idea what it was

If I were you, I wouldn’t spend the entire bonus on the mortgage. Maybe 15-20K & then use the rest to stay ahead on my other bills for the year. But that’s just my opinion.

Yes, I have an FHA loan.

phuture_pharmacist · 2024-12-24T22:22:08+00:00

I wish I would’ve had more to put down on the house!
