I give up.

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am so sorry that pharmacy hasn't worked out for you the way you had hoped it would. Thank you for taking the time to tell your story here. Too many students don't understand the importance of working in an actual pharmacy, so that they understand what they are getting themselves into. It sounds like you are doing the right thing by taking a break from pharmacy, but I would recommend keeping your license active. Not all pharmacy jobs are the same, not even when working for the same company. There can be huge differences between stores, due to management and the quality of ancillary personnel. You might also want to consider going back to school to do something that builds on your pharmacy degree (like maybe think about getting a PhD and going into research, if you think that would be enjoyable for you.)
 
I agree with what you are saying. Retail is just horrible. People don't understand this until they have worked in one. I worked like crazy when I was a student. Working one day a week doesn't cut it. You need to work 5 days a week during the winter season in order to understand how crappy it is.

I went thru a very difficult period too and I can tell you things usually work out in the end.

I threw my diploma, license, my reference materials, gown, and cap into a dumpster today.

I am officially done being a pharmacist. I am so sick of all the stress and liability that goes along with it. This whole profession is awful. I hope that all the patients get their right meds, but I am not going to ruin my whole life working 14+ hour days to do it.

I graduated in 2012 and I have been miserable ever since. I did not work while I was in pharmacy school and that was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. I thought I was going to do a residency, but that didn't pan out. If I would have done a little research, I could have avoided this career completely.

I am not fast enough at my job. I have OCD, which makes the whole filling process 1000x more stressful for me. Then I go home and hope that I didn't kill someone or break some law that will send me to prison. F that.

Now I'm working as a cook in a restaurant making 15/hr and I'm going to go to school in the fall and leave this whole profession behind me.

I've wasted 10 years of my life doing this, along with a ton of money, and I'm unbelievably depressed about it. I just want a chance to start over and do something where I don't feel completely awful at the end of the day.

Sounds like you could use some anxiolytics and possibly an antidepressant. Sorry it didn't work out. Maybe it was just the place you ended up at?
 
Sorry to hear it's been going so poorly for you. I second the recommendation to keep your license active, at least if you still have student loans to pay off. A friend of mine finally threw in the towel on hospital pharmacy and switched to a consultant role with local nursing homes, and she's much more relaxed now.

Good luck, whatever you wind up doing! :luck:
 
It's important for people reading this thread and students in pre-pharm to understand that OP has mental issues that needs to be sorted out. He/she is the exception, not the norm. Speed in pharmacy has to do with how fast your brain works and reads. If you can read quickly, you can verify a prescription quickly. I can verify a prescription accurately in about 5 seconds. I'm not bragging, just saying that if you have OCD like the OP does, or if you really can't read quickly, then this profession isn't for you.

I really hope you get help and that it all works out. Sorry that pharmacy didn't work out for you. Being a cook isn't going to be much better, let me tell you that. People will get pissed if you give them the wrong medication, but they'll kill you if they get the wrong food or if it doesn't have enough salt, or if it tastes bad or if its slightly burnt, etc. You think being an RPH is stressful?

People don't realize that our job is NOT THAT BAD compared to other professions. The biggest scam in the universe was us convincing employers that we are worth $130,000 a year. What in God's name do we do to justify that? In the past, with written prescriptions, it was an art and I understood it. Every script was written with terrible handwriting, and we deciphered it. Now, most if not all scripts are electronic. ALL THE INFO PRE-POPULATES INTO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. It's mind boggling how people can still complain about our jobs. CVS wants us to call patients to tell them not to waste a trip to the pharmacy because their Belsomra isn't covered by insurance, and they track the calls to see if we're actually calling because if they didn't, you would have legions of techs and pharmacists who just would not call patients. And that pisses you guys off so much that you call us dogs and lab rats.

But yeah, OP, this isn't an attack on you personally. I truly do hope you get the help you need.
 
A lot of times when people say they have OCD they just mean they worry a lot, it doesn't mean they are actually diagnosed with it.
Still, I'm glad that you are doing what makes you happy rather than being miserable. Don't be depressed, there is so much in life to be happy about.
You should perhaps pursue a PhD and work on the side as a cook. You don't have to give up pharmacy completely perhaps look into academia?

Aww 🙁 Don't be disheartened. At least now you won't regret doing a job you hated for the rest of your life.

I hope you find something else you love! 🙂 Wishing you all the best!
 
Why are you so worried about killing someone or going to jail for breaking the law? You need to realize just how rare those scenarios are and the types of pharmacists that they end up happening to. If you're making a lot of errors or are too slow I understand leaving, but if it's simply anxiety you should probably work on it whether or not you leave the profession. A lot of pharmacists are drama queens for whatever reason, what we're doing isn't that complicated or stressful if you step outside of yourself for a second.
 
We didn't "convince employers" that we were worth that much. Market forces dictated those salaries. CVS can pay a pharmacist that much and still make a profit. I'm sorry you have such a low opinion of the value you bring, but I am fully confident that I earn my salary.
 
It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge sunk costs, whether they be financial or psychological, and move on.

Man if this is true then I really feel bad for you. Listen, I would recommend you just not give a **** and just pump out scripts. Get yourself liability insurance if your employer doesn't already cover you. I hate this job too. You are not the only one. Just collect your check and go home. Make sure it's correct too. Remember you are only there to verify, go through the DUR, and counsel. Tell Larry Merlo or Steffano Pessina that he can come in and do the extra stuff if you aren't given enough help to do it. And blame it on the geniuses who came before you who accepted this bull****.

And if you haven't made a major mistake in 4 years that hasn't cost you your license then I wouldn't worry too much.

btw you may want to look into becoming an overnight pharmacist. They mostly just clean up the mess left during the day and get the place ready for the next day. You will be doing refills so you don't have to worry as much. But I've found it to be hit or miss. Some nights are literally impossible if you are left with a bunch of labels and truck or something to put away. Other nights you can chill for a couple of hours but the chains are getting rid of 24 hour stores. Of course they would do that. I hope they go bankrupt.

Do you know my ex wife?
 
@justjoe Hey joe, have you ever tried working for a long term care pharmacy? I was a technician for a very small location and all the pharmacists seemed to be pretty happy there relative to the pharmacists I worked with at CVS.
 
Do what makes you happy. What's the point of making money if you are not happy? The profession is horrible. It's not for everyone. I hate it, but I do it.
 
Several years after I graduated in 1994, I had a job experience that was so bad, I briefly considered surrendering my license. I'm glad I didn't, and even though I too chose to leave active practice (in 2012 in my case, a decision for which I've had 100% support) I have remained licensed because you just never know what the future may bring.

As for that job, I later got some dirt on that boss that didn't surprise me at all, and several years later, while interviewing for another job, I was asked why I left Hospital X after 4 months. I hemmed and hawed a bit, and the interviewer said, "You can tell me the truth. I've been told many times that Hospital X is a very difficult place to work at."

I had a few classmates who never worked in a pharmacy of any kind until they had to do internship hours, and were often in for a very big shock.
 
justjoe said:
Thank you. I'm considering building on my degree, but I haven't made any definite plans yet. I don't mean to trash the profession, but I'm just so frustrated and depressed right now that I needed a place to vent. I have been calling crisis hot lines periodically over the past few years, but they are not very helpful because they don't understand what I'm going through each day.

Trust me. I've been here too...am still in that spot actually. It's not your fault. The professional has degraded so much that it's all about putting the drugs in the bags the fastest.

I worked in restaurants for 15 years before I got my pharmacy degree, and the jobs are not as different as you might think they are. :dead:

There's a woman on another site I post on who worked at Subway for a while, and hated that job to the point where the stress affected her sex drive - not a good thing for a young newlywed. She mentioned one day that she was thinking about going to a pharmacy tech program; I, and several other people in the know, convinced her not to for several reasons, one of them being that if she thought Subway was stressful, this would be a LOT worse. IDK what she ended up doing.

Maybe if you would have gone into it for the money like most people you wouldn't be as disappointed. The schools try to sugar coat it but the reality of pharmacy is retail and working retail is pretty close to some people's imagination of hell. But i'll happily work alongside the devil and the damned for 100k a year. Everyone's soul has a price, clearly yours is more expensive than mine.

A lot of hospitals start people in the low $40/hr in the South. I didn't break $50/hr until I got two years of experience and a new job.
 
I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. I only worked at a retail chain for a year but I was very depressed about my job and career prospects while I was there. While you work as a cook for the time being, maybe you'll have more time to think about what other career has the greatest potential to make you happy--while still allowing you to pay your bills--and things might just turn out okay after all. Best of luck.
 
Overnights at chains can be stressful because you get blamed for a lot. If the inventory is too high it's because the overnight rph is not managing the inventory. Why is customer service survey low? It's because of the night rph. Why is the call doctor score low? Because the night rph isn't clearing out the callback queue. Why is the action note score low? Blame the night rph for doing after hours on everything instead of calling. Why is the automation unit messing up? Because the nigh rph isn't taking care of it. Why don't we have c2s in stock? Because the nigh rph didn't send out the order. Why is the readyfill enrollment score low? Because the night rph isn't signing up enough people. The night rph is actually unenrolling stuff that isn't getting picked up like albuterol rescue inhalers. Why is the extra care card scan rate low? Because the nigh rph score is dragging us down. Why are the evening techs not being trained and completing their learnet? Because the night rph lacks leadership. Why was the trash not taken out? Because of the night rph. Why were the 7 day and 14 day return to stock not completed? Night rph. Why are we out of supplies? Night rph. Why is our printer jamming up? It's the night rph printing out too much of the queue when the readyfills drop in.
Some stores rely too much on the night rph to make the job stress free.

Overnights at chains can be stressful because you get blamed for a lot. If the inventory is too high it's because the overnight rph is not managing the inventory. Why is customer service survey low? It's because of the night rph. Why is the call doctor score low? Because the night rph isn't clearing out the callback queue. Why is the action note score low? Blame the night rph for doing after hours on everything instead of calling. Why is the automation unit messing up? Because the nigh rph isn't taking care of it. Why don't we have c2s in stock? Because the nigh rph didn't send out the order. Why is the readyfill enrollment score low? Because the night rph isn't signing up enough people. The night rph is actually unenrolling stuff that isn't getting picked up like albuterol rescue inhalers. Why is the extra care card scan rate low? Because the nigh rph score is dragging us down. Why are the evening techs not being trained and completing their learnet? Because the night rph lacks leadership. Why was the trash not taken out? Because of the night rph. Why were the 7 day and 14 day return to stock not completed? Night rph. Why are we out of supplies? Night rph. Why is our printer jamming up? It's the night rph printing out too much of the queue when the readyfills drop in.
Some stores rely too much on the night rph to make the job stress free.

aren't you the one who said you don't even check the contents of the bottle when verifying?
