Hey guys,
Just got done with my first full day at three letter as a tech (in my full capacity anyway). Im not gonna lie I feel plain lousy. I feel like every time I turned around I had something else staring me in the face. The calls, the production, new scripts, drop off, drive through. I was doing it all, really. Had 2 techs, 1 intern, and 1 rph at the start of the day, then I was the only tech with 1 intern and 1 rph for the majority of the day. Maybe if I was a bit better and had a bit more experience I would enjoy it more. If RPH is like this, I dont know. Everything was just moving so fast and I felt like I was drowning in it all.
I feel like working at the independent was much better, maybe Id like working in a hospital or LTC as well. The thing is I feel like Id never be able to find a job outside of chain retail.
Im seriously considering asking my advisor about getting my bachelors and going Pre-PA or Pre-Med if I can, as I enjoyed seeing patients with my nephrologist friend. I might not even be able to do that without adding extra time beyond the bachelors. Then Id have to find some sort of clinical job to get patient care hours. And get shadowing hours. I feel like Ive wasted the past 2 years just for me to end up changing my mind like some idiot.
Do you guys have any advice? Does working at the chains get any better? I probably sound like a bit of a wimp, but I just felt awful. I felt like I wasnt doing anything right.
If anyone has any advice as to what route I should take, or if I should continue down the path Im headed, I would really appreciate it.
Sorry for bothering you all with this, just don't know what else to do
