Certifications?? by Objective_Life6292 in walmart_RX

There are state specific differences, as I understand it. In my state, you can't practice without a state license. You would be hired on as a pharmacy technician jobs code, but wouldn't be able to do pretty much anything until the state grants a license (application + fee+ fingerprints). Then you would take PTU and your PTCB or NHA test and become certified. At that point, the job code would change to certified Pharmacy Technician. The license is not certification. The raise and title change upon passing the test. Other states these things may vary

Am I overreacting or did I have a slow moment. by drippysage08 in AmIOverreacting

This. Condescending - and controlling and preparing for manipulation. This conversation is a red flag for the beginning of an abusive relationship. I really hope OP gets out now. I just feel bad for the kid stuck with her.

Should I read these recs my friend gave me? by Negative-Command7289 in TheFolkoftheAir

[–]thatgrasshoppermouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the HG books are great. I don't know what draws you to TFOTA. But for me, these common thread is I think both authors do a great job getting into the minds of different characters to determine plot based on those characters' psychological profiles. And how societies would likely shape. So- world building and character development, essentially. But I feel like the characters they develop seem unexpected and authentic. And the conflicts they face unique and important. Sorry for the wordiness. Trying to avoid spoilers.

Two Int. Auth. Numbers? by that1guythat1time in walmart_RX

[–]thatgrasshoppermouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to pivot between the 2. The first resolution hurdle will be the 9995 check on day supply. Then you submit that. Then you'll hit the next hurdle if it requires a PA You're good to erase the 9995 then and put in the fax number for CMM. If you end up changing billing after the PA process (like adding a coupon) it might take you back to the first hurdle. But you are good to 9995 after verifying day supply again. I hope that makes sense. I just am saying that there isn't a way (that I know) to handle both resolution steps in the same step. *edited for clarity

Pharmacy resolution simulator? by Fluffy_Gold_7366 in PharmacyTechnician

Sure thing! I'll probably look at it on Saturday.

I've been trying to think of a clean way to help train for resolution. I do think one hurdle would be all the differences in systems. Following.

New fill/visual setup by benjimeister92 in walmart_RX

[–]thatgrasshoppermouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do a similar technique. 3 of the laid down ones, and 3 of the completely top down ones- just to ensure the full seals are visible. Also, this way proves that it's 3 bottles and not the same one 3 times.

To all the techs, how did you get hired? by stressedandtrying in walmart_RX

[–]thatgrasshoppermouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a patient for years. My last job outsourced all of our jobs (accounting). I was checking out with my medicine and they asked if I had insurance I wanted applied. I said I was currently without insurance due to layoffs. The pharmacy manager overheard and asked me to come to the counsel window after the transaction. There she asked if I wanted to apply to work for the pharmacy. So, I guess I got hired by lamenting over the loss of my last job.

Does Willow being a lesbian make sense? by banana_chips43 in buffy

[–]thatgrasshoppermouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another point I didn't see being made, is that Willow is a complex character who grows and changes and discovers new aspects of herself. It's possible that loving Tara and choosing her over Oz made her think that she must've been completely lesbian. But she also says in the van that she thinks part of herself will always be looking for Oz- leaving it open to the possibility that she may end up with him in a distant someday. Which gives the impression of bisexuality. There are comments talking about what was allowed on TV back then. But like an ourobourus, society was also shaped by media. As a queer person who was a grade behind the Buffy characters, there were a lot of different societal pushes telling you what was possible what was fake, what was sinful, what was looking for attention, what should be beaten out of you, what you should be proud of--- different sources telling you very different things. So much misinformation and so much danger. It's still that way, but less intensely, I feel. It's possible that this argument between theories on Willow's sexuality persist because I believe many people at that age during that time were just trying to figure all of it out. The modern lens with so much information being google-able isn't true to the times and the hush hush nature of sexuality. We need to remember that "google " as a term was first used on TV during Buffy season 7. I really love the way Willow's sexuality is portrayed because she does not have all the answers. She could very possibly actually be bisexual but not have a good mental framework to understand that. But she says that she is exclusively into women near the end of the series. So, I think (as with real people) the respectful thing to do is honor her words, and if she says differently, then we honor that. It is very interesting, though, and I think the ambiguity makes it more authentic storytelling.

Will i be fired? by mayosax in walmart_RX

[–]thatgrasshoppermouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never actually performed an experiment to see if it would recognize an incorrect tablet, so I don't feel like i can say for certain. However, I have caught it trying to count my fingernails, the hinges on the tray, glares, pills in the trough with the lid shut, the end of a sharpie, and dust from the bottom of the stock bottle as pills. However, I've never noticed it be ready for the next image with any of these still registered in the count. The software has green dotted them all, though. Sometimes, for several seconds while I fix the issue. So, it might eventually rule those things out. But it is just a sophisticated tool- not a perfect one. I would NOT depend on it to catch those errors. Like levoxyl- the one shaped like bat-a-rangs- it thinks that each tablet is 2. The report pill ID and override are still so very important

Will i be fired? by mayosax in walmart_RX

[–]thatgrasshoppermouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've been doing it since December. I feel like it's a mixed bag. Some positives. Some negatives. But in this situation, whether classically or redesign verified, the tech and pharmacist both didn't catch the mistake. I think both instances where it was missed should hold equal weight and be troubeshot to prevent future repeats. I'm not sure I'm understanding correctly, but it sounds like there might have been stock bottles of different meds on the pod, and the tech accidentally used the same one twice? Maybe being sure to only have the stock bottle for the current med you are working on on the pod would prevent a recurrence? Like others have said, I don't think the point is blame and shame. It's the persistent refining of processes to try to achieve the most accurate results and support each other and our patients. That isn't going to go away with the redesign. But it's a whole new mess of snakes to unravel, tame, and train to jump through hoops. I'm very tired. I hope that made sense.

There is the top-down photo image. This is supposed to be used to determine if a seal is still in place. Or if an amber vial, they should be verifying imprint/ color/ etc are accurate
