Walgreens rxom

I am currently temp pic at WAG, and the rxom keeps telling all the staff that she has complete authority over me. Is this actually true?

Depends on what they mean by “complete authority”

This thread is completely useless without pics.

RxOM = Rx Operation Manager. It is a tech position. Wag created this position a few years ago to boost moral of their senior techs so that they don't quit.

We usually use "PIC" interchangeable with "RXM", and also most of the time they are the same person. However, PIC is only matter to the board of pharmacy. BOP doesn't care if a PIC is a floater, staff RPh, RXM or even a HCS. In term of pharmacy operation, yes RXM is the 1st in command, then RxOM is like the 2nd in line. So in your situation, pretty much that store/pharmacy doesn't consider you as their RXM (which is reasonable). They just need you to be responsible for PIC stuffs or deal with BOP if there is a problem (as a temp PIC) and leave pharmacy operation to their people (RxOM).

RxOM is not over any RPh, even floaters. RxOM is in charge of the technicians. RPh receive their review from RXM. If there is no RXM, RPh receive review from SM. That being said, let RxOM handle pharmacy workflow unless you feel something legal or pt safety is being compromised. RxOM cannot write up a RPh

If rxom is not doing their job properly, am I permitted to step in? Or do I just have to let her run wild?

 

[owlegrad]

Have you tried enjoying not having to manage the techs? Just how bad of a job is this person doing?

you know your situation best, pick your battles. If it is a big enough problem, rope the SM in on the talk

Yes, you are correct in term of who give annual review to who & Wag corporate structure. However, in daily pharmacy operation (workflow, making tech schedule etc), I doubt that a "temp PIC" have more power than the local RxOM (well unless the temp PIC is an well known seasoned floater in the area or a RXM somewhere else).

What do you mean by saying "not doing their job properly" ? Did the RxOM cause any harm to the public or breach their scope of practice or violate any Wag policy? Or the RxOM just didn't meet your expectation ?

🤣🤣🤣

If you know she's saying it and you haven't directly confronted them then it's true.
