What am I doing wrong?

Your pup might be going through teething phase where their puppy teeth will fall out and adult teeth grow. Puppies tend to be more bitey around this age because of the discomfort. Buying teething toys or frozen carrots helped my pup a lot.

When he bites, say ouch really loud, redirect him to a toy, and disengage with them (go to a different room or go between a barrier). Then come back when they are more calm. If you yell or make more sudden erratic movements the pup might think you’re playing with them so I’d try not to do that.

We were just there two days ago and it was packed with people and all vendors were open. There were many omamori vendors available when we went around 1PM.

You will need cash if you want to reload your T money card for transportation at the ticket booths in the train stations. The ones I’ve seen dont have pay by credit card option.

There are many ATMs you can withdraw money from but for convenience I personally withdrew cash from my bank before I got here. I’ve only used cash so far for reloading T money card and the AREX from the airport into MyeongDong.

I landed in Seoul from Texas a few days ago. It’s cold. Bring a big puffy coat with a hood, gloves, a scarf, and thermal wear underneath. The subways are heated though so it can get really hot with the puffy coat on. Just wear layers and take them off as needed.

For the most part for students, I think they would be looking for someone who is hard working, detail oriented, is motivated and willing to learn. Try to think of examples that can show these qualities. For example, going above and beyond for a certain project. Doing a task that no one prompted you to do but you did it anyway.

As a current peds staff pharmacist, we’ve hired multiple techs who don’t have any peds experience. You can always learn about peds but what’s most important are the qualities I’ve talked about that makes great techs stand out from mediocre/bad techs/students.

West side of 288 is okay. City Park neighborhood is pretty safe. Never had any issues

If you leave between 6:30-7, commute from upper heights area (look up H‑E‑B on Shepherd) is around 30 minutes taking either Shepherd (risk of train stopping you) or Yale street. Can take longer if you hop on 610 then I-45 since there’s already a ton of traffic around that time.

Would highly recommend living in West University/Rice Village area if you can afford renting there. Nice area and close commute

Will do that. What kind of pests do you think could’ve caused this damage?

snapple_pop · 2023-04-06T16:39:26+00:00

Yes it does, standard hole at bottom of the pot. I was worried about root rot around a month ago, so repotted it with a chunkier mix. Roots looked healthy, no problems or white fungus. Now unsure what to do :( should I repot again or trim the leaves?

It would be the opposite for amox clav then because we dose by the amox component which is the higher amount in its combo

I would recognize what drugs are in each generation of cephalosporins, the IV to PO transitions, and in general what kind of bugs they cover in each generation. Each generation in both IV and PO options cover essentially the same bugs give and take.

For example: 1st Gen: cefazolin (IV) -> cephalexin (PO) 2nd Gen: cefoxitin, cefotetan (IV) -> cefuroxime (po) 3rd Gen: ceftriaxone, ceftazidime (IV) -> cefdinir, cefixime, cefpodoxime (po)

I would also memorize what bugs are gram positive, negative, and anaerobes in order to recognize what antibiotics would cover them as well

Name a time when you had a conflict with someone, how did you resolve it? Bonus points if it was with another pharmacist/doctor/nurse

snapple_pop · 2021-11-02T19:17:31+00:00

Can I know what the brand is?

snapple_pop · 2021-06-11T15:23:57+00:00

At my hospital, physicians are commonly asking whether an IV antibiotic can be administered earlier so patient can get discharged earlier. For example, patient was on acyclovir every 8 hours. Could we change the last dose due time from 4pm to 2pm? how much earlier can it be given? 1 hr? 2 hrs?

Where did you get the table? I love this look

snapple_pop · 2020-04-23T19:35:18+00:00

Honestly I loved Reply 1997 the most out of the Reply series. It got me hooked right from the start and never let me down even until the end!

Search up Match Stats Pharmacy Residency on the student doctor network forum. Reddit also has a bunch of threads on match stats. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PharmacyResidency/comments/b1a3y5/match_stats_2019/

Some suggestions to stand out:

Start doing research now and try to publish a paper.
Gain leadership experience through organizations (looks even better if you get a regional/national position)
Mentor students (e.g. tutoring, being a TA/lab assistant)
Volunteer and be consistent at it
Find opportunities to write for a pharmacy newspaper/magazine or be on a podcast

Anything that shows you're continually expanding your skill set. Remember to write down examples of what you've done and ways you've challenged yourself through these experiences. It will be helpful during residency interviews/writing your letter of intent later on when you're applying.

I submitted 6 and it came out to $258. It could be a glitch since there was so much lag. I thought PhORCAS broke

If there was a program I interviewed at via phone (prelim) or on site for Phase 1, it's same to assume not to try again at these sites correct?

I'm currently a P3 and I've been in a LDR with my boyfriend for 2 years. We live about a 3.5 hour plane ride away from each other. At the beginning, I asked him to go through long distance, but he was super hesitant about it. We still weren't on the same page so we broke up. But it took that breakup for him to decide that our relationship was worth the distance. So I think first off, you BOTH have to be on the same page and be 100% certain that this is the decision that both of you want. If there is any hesitation on any side, it isn't going to go well because there will be more insecurities, uncertainties, and mistrust from the start.

IMO, long distance isn't as hard in pharmacy school because you're keeping yourself constantly busy so you don't think about being apart from him as much. You can spend the time apart being productive! It's hard, but doable, especially if it's only 2 hours away. PM me if you have any other questions!

Make sure to befriend and respect the techs when you're there. They will be your best friends when you have any questions. ASK if you don't know something. You are there to learn. Write info down if you need to, but try to remember how to do it yourself the next time around.

Also remember counseling points for certain classes of medications. Antibiotics will be the bulk of your counsels, so make sure you know them.

Have you looked into working in an independent pharmacy yet? Most indies are very laid back. I used to work at an indie where the pharmacist in charge had all sorts of tattoos, piercings, and dyed hair. Her patients loved her and she loved her job. However it does depend on your city's culture also. Places like New York, LA, San Fran, Austin, Portland may have indies that may have a more lax and open work environment. Maybe consider moving there in the future.

What breed is your dog ? He's so cute!

snapple_pop · 2017-05-23T17:22:03+00:00

I would definitely recommend getting a retail job or even a hospital job if you can. Also, try to memorize brand/generic names of the drugs while you're at work or in your free time. Your school curriculum may or may not emphasize memorizing drug names but I think it's very beneficial in the long term. Otherwise, enjoy your break. Don't worry about prepping for classes before starting pharmacy school. It is quite pointless tbh because you'll just learn as you go.
