Hey All,

I posted this in pre-pharmacy but got no ideas, so I decided I better ask Pharmacist's and other technicians in this forum instead.

Just wondering if you can look over a little something I've made to help people who want to learn pharmacy SIG codes. I've started with only 12, but want to work on any possible ideas before going forward with the rest of them. It would eventually have the person doing multiple SIG code recognition. Like in the first few stages, you are asked to identify the meaning of "QD" or "PO". Rather simple beginner code, and then you add those together in later sessions to see if they can interpret what "1POQD" means. I think applications like this are what other technicians may need but can't find. For free, of course.

I work for Walmart, and they gave me a list. This is not so much for me, but for other technicians. I know most of the SIG codes, but didn't have a resource for me except time in "input" learning as I was going. Some people don't have access to a pharmacy job to get to do this.

This is for absolute beginner's. What I'm trying to do is give people an alternative to learning the codes on their own time. I believe that learning aids should be in place for FREE to help fellow technician's learn the codes. Perhaps during work they feel frustrated and don't learn well under stress. (I guess that might tell them they can't work in a Pharmacy 😉, but you know what I mean.) Or they have been away from the job for a long time and need to freshen up on their knowledge.

I tried uploading the file as an attachment, but it says upload error. I guess the forum won't allow you to upload .ppt files. Also, I'm working on another little training idea called 'Quantity Sufficient.' I'll upload it to my blog by the end of the week.

The 'SIG Codes Trainer' located at my blog, http://rxblogger.wordpress.com/, on the top right hand side. If you guys have suggestions for a better 'name', maybe 'SIG Codes' or something that sounds better than what I have.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance.

Steven
