there is a lot of ridiculous crap that we have to do that cuts into our time. you have to bag stage--write info on each script bag which takes time, and you can only pull 1 drug at a time, only 1 basket can be on the counter at a time. (at least thats how our district is) so a lot of it will depend on how closely your district follows rules.
since you aren't used to another pharmacy and computer system, then you should be okay. i really had a lot of stuff i had to "re-learn". I used to be able to fill 130 scripts on a Saturday with me and a pharmacist at CVS--and most of the time we would be sitting around reading magazines (I know, its against the rules...yeah yeah) or I would go pick up lunch and we would have a leisurely lunch or whatever..but now I do 70 scripts with a pharmacist and there is NO DOWN TIME and I am more stressed than ever. So just because the numbers are better, the stress load isn't.
I never thought I'd miss CVS, but sad to say I do.
Since you are just going in though you'll probably like it. All the techs that are completely new really love it there. good luck!!!!
yea i've seen the way they run things, i think it's inefficient.
