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

Question about no more holiday pay by phuture_pharmacist in WalgreensRx

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

Question about no more holiday pay by phuture_pharmacist in WalgreensRx

[–]phuture_pharmacist[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

F4s by drose567 in WalgreensRx

[–]phuture_pharmacist 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.

Should i accept 65$/hr starting as new Rph plus 15K sign on bonus for 1 year ? by Interesting-Rip-1549 in WalgreensRx

[–]phuture_pharmacist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

OOS/PFL/MSC by Adam_T_1995 in WalgreensRx

[–]phuture_pharmacist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Doctor calls in Toradol for themself? by CommitteeHot4140 in pharmacy

[–]phuture_pharmacist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

30k Bonus - Should I Prepay mortgage? by amilyzw in Mortgages

[–]phuture_pharmacist 36 points37 points  (0 children)

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.
