is Texas the state with the most openings?
No. All the Texas jobs are long gone.

I remember you had trouble finding a job. Congrats!I graduated in May 2013 and I just found a job last month with Target. It took me 6-7 months of applying to literally every job within my state to find something. The market IS tight and even if you want to relocate it's hard. You have to just be at the right place at the right time. I got the job at Target because several people just decided to leave, but that doesn't happen often.
Send me a PM about your situation, maybe I can offer some helpful advice!
how long were you in Barrow? Was it the IHS?Barrow Alaska? I no longer live in barrow alaska. But because of the experience I have from barrow I got the job I am currently working. You are making fool of yourself in this forum and no one is respecting you. Sorry for you to waste of time forcing people to believe what your doom and gloom life is. Lol
which hospital? I'm close to NYOne entrance to the campus is on the Queens side of the border and the other entrance is on the Nassau side of the border. Kinda narrows it down.

I'm actually leaving that hospital. Pediatrics is not for me.
u have another job lined up?
proof that the grass is not always greener on the other side!

Wow, that didn't last long. Just out of curiosity, what was it that you didn't like about it?
everyone thinks they're the alpha dog...
I totally agree. In hospital it's like too many cooks in the kitchen. When ur in retail there's just one boss.that's why I prefer retail over hospital. I can't stand $hitty/gossipy co-workers. if it happens in retail, I just tell them to go back to work cus there's only one chief. too many chiefs in the hospital setting, not enough indians
I have a great boss. she does not micromanage and I haven't seen her since my last review. it must mean that I'm kicking ass when I don't see my boss and get minimal emails

Peds Motrin, 60 mg/kg q2h right sparda ? Tehehehe
To be fair you should be following clean room standards and medication safety procedures... Anyone can make a mistake. Peds is a high risk area and that is why there are so many safety measures in place.
Thank goodness for the sick children of NYC that you are quitting!
Except, it is not a clean room. It's a regular room with an IV hood installed. No ante room. Why can't I just spray my pen with alcohol and use it after that without having to change my gloves? Isn't the pen now sterile? Even if you put a dirty item into the IV hood, you can just pour alcohol on the area and it is now sterile.
You could autoclave your pen, but it might not write well afterward.Except, it is not a clean room. It's a regular room with an IV hood installed. No ante room.

Umm... You know alcohol doesn't kill everything, right? ...
I'm making an IV and a pharmacist working next to me would say some **** like, "if this was the Part 3 exam you'd fail, you're working less than 6 inches into the hood". That's what I don't need to hear.
So, you're upset because they treat a non-clean room like a clean room AND upset because they point out that your IV prep is occurring too close to that non-sterile room? Sounds like they were warning you about what you pointed out yourself.
that is a terrible attitude to have when training. no wonder you didn't last.
I don't know. This may be your last opportunity to work in a hospital.
I like to do things my way too but there should be limits as well.
The above PHARMACY is a Company run by indians and they have history of commiting frauds..In Michigan they had a chiroprator and dentist who wrote fake prescriptions and made over 2 million a month....DEA bust thier A$$ so they came down to florida in 2008...don't join THEM unless you don't care about your license...the company i work for (Rx Care Pharmacy) is always looking for qualified pharmacists as we continue to expand, currently licensed to open pharmacies in Texas, New York, New jersey, Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, Michigan and Virginia. If you are open to these areas shoot us over your resume and more than likely we will be in touch.
The reason we have standards and USP 797 is to prevent "professionals" thinking they know better and want to eat a sandwich while making an IV or doing surgery. Common sense isn't the same in everyone.
I also second that you have a horrible attitude regarding how peers can't help you. Just because they aren't a supervisor doesn't mean they don't know more than you. Some people choose not to be a supervisor.

You just graduated do I forgive you as you got a long way to go in this profession.If the person telling me this was the director, assistant director, supervisor, etc, I'd have no problem with it. I have a problem with other staff pharmacists telling me how to do things. You do things the way you like to do things, and I'll do it the way I like to do it.

we all gotta learn - you can't be too proud to take advice from people with more experience that you (even less experience than you for that matter) - I have been out 10 years and am still learning from both MD's, new grads, new journals, etc - if you took that attitude from me, trust me, you would not be lasting long at my place.
you have a long life ahead of you young man.I don't mind listening to advice, doesn't mean I have to follow it. Don't get mad and tell everyone when I choose to do things my way.

You are lucky you work in a unionized environment or you would have the door hit you in the arse so damn fast
Not anymore. I left my unionized hospital for that peds hospital which wasn't union. Then I just left the peds hospital. I'm currently full-time at an independent and per-diem at another hospital.
What is your long term plan? compounding pharmacy? looking to return to a hospital?
I don't get to read this forum often enough to know if Sparda is right or wrong. What I can say for sure is good for him having the balls to make a change if he is unhappy.
Hey Sparda, if you see this, how long is reconstituted daptomycin good for? I've been a retail girl for 16 years, and now all of a sudden I have to be responsible for IVs too. The package insert tells me 48 hours, but the idiot we are calling PIC claims its good for 7 days.
Also, Sparda Sir, or anyone, how are real pharmacies handling the normal saline shortage? From the research I am doing this morning, it appears that Lactated Ringers would be the most appropriate substitute. But the holier than thou Pharmds I am working with keep throwing D5W into my vancos, and I have a huge problem with this. My patients fingerstick QID, and you can't tell me this isn't throwing off their readings.
