So nobody gave you a chance, now you're gonna turn around and not give someone a chance? lol interesting...viscous cycle
Not quite. If you read this thread carefully, you should've read that I hired a retail pharmacist.
I have given many chances. So the viscous cycle you speak of is completely false.
Despite not getting the chance, I still give it.
Not because I believe people deserve a chance rather I believe the most competent should be given the chance, not just because everyone deserves it for the sake of deserving it.
Like it or not, I have 30+ resumes for 1 spot. You can talk all you want about giving someone a chance.... but all you ever done was work CVS then you're just not going to get a call...LOL.

Interested??
lol.......🙂
lol.......🙂
I am on the other side of USA......MI lol
you need to have some standards regarding screen name originality Z
Zpaksux was a great screen name. Except it went generic and it didn't suck as much...
So I had to change.
But I do think abc1234567 is very creative.
Are you licensed in CA?
speaking of generic. you know who i miss? SDN1977.
hmm...eh, i guess as long as the applicant has an @gmail.com address. someone applied to my friend's workplace with an @hotmail.com and everyone kind of laughed a bit. we totally judge your domain name.
I know exactly what you mean ......I can relate to it .....It seems that you wrote my story.
I am thinking to become board certified in pharmacotherapy .......long process.....I hope I meet the requirements though.......I really hope .....and its once a year if i miss this year it can easily take 2 years.
I cannot believe that nobody had and nobody is planning to take a lead in making sure that retail pharmacists are not treated like trash........ no food no restroom.....what are we super natural??? and yes tech is a luxury and we are to stand in confined environment for 8-12 hours and smile like that is the best day of our life.

Hey mountain applied to the positions you mentioned....ask them to show that love and care to my resume lol
Yes ofcourse, till i get my CA license but I never thought of moving to CA before this moment lol.
or comic sans on the resume...i've seen that once, we made copies and passed it around (so professional, i know).
i miss her posts, i think it's been like 4-5 years. sheesh married? i thought she just finished medical school, great now *i* feel old, how is this possible talking to you?

Last posts I remember were taking her daughter to NC for M2 year or something. Her daughter was on SDN, but I don't know the name. Should be into residency and possibly finishing by now.
I'm trying to get hospital experience, but I need the DOP to call in sick more. 😳 My per diem job is purely staffing. Walgreens has been more clinical than the hospital. I can't even change standard QD = 9am levothyroxine to am ac. DOP here has autosubs on several things but we can't switch timing of doses. I've seen 9am singulair, simvastatin and synthroid.
A hospital gig....Not too bad, hope you get some well qualified candidates.
Like some people have stated here, you might be better off going with B+ joe with a great attitude than some of these holier than thou pgy2s. [ disclaimer: not all overachievers are holier than thou, but most are]

As a new grad, you know nothing. Everyone thinks they are ready to be clinical right out of school, but they have a lot to learn.
Doing is residency is what gives you hospital experience right out of school and is "giving a chance" for new grads to get start in hospital.

Yes, it is all your fault. Damn you Z all of this!
I knew it!!! All that pent up anger from being turned down for a retail position years ago! Now it is time for Z to extract his revenge!
I had her personnal e-mail address and lost it. She was a very good contributor and I miss her as well. Lesson learned. Do not get in a pissing contest with one of the founders of SDN.
Dammit Z! I told you to keep my personnel e-mail address private. You damn Kommiefonia hippies can't be trusted!!!!
You don't have to worry about that.... wth is balshy anywho.
Btw...online persona is just that
Fyi

You're so mean...
That's because medication administration time is set per policy and you can't just change it. Your timing sucks too.....my positions opened right after you accepted your job.
I didn't know ish coming out of school. Residency has forced me to learn in a short amount of time. I used to think that the people who said one year of resi was equal to three years of work were full of crap, but I can see how that could be true. I still have a lot to learn, but love my position and wouldn't trade learning more for the world.
On a serious note....Working in a hospital is not for everyone. It is extremely difficult and requires about 1000 times more knowledge and skill than working retail. I worked in a very big and very busy hospital as an intern during pharmacy school. I have been a retail pharmacist for 8 years. I would love to get on at a hospital now. I know enough about hospital pharmacy to know that I would not be very much help to them for a long time. The chances of making a mistake and killing someone because you do not now what you are doing is very likly in a hospital. Hell in retail CVS got busted for hiring a pharmacist who faked thier license. This person worked for months in the pharmaqcy with zero problems. There is no way I would apply or expect to get a clinical pharmacist position unless I had the experience to back it up.
You want to hire me to be your order entry grunt, do every crap job staff pharmacist then I am your man. I will get in bust my buttt and learn everything I can and someday have your job.

I agree 100% on the knowledge part....I worked in retail as a tech and intern for 8 years before coming to residency.
Sigh..I used to get blasted for saying that kinda stuff.....
But now you see it don't you.
There are whiny losers who think I should hand out chances.....then there are kids like you, karm12 and njac who went out and earned your chances. I would take you guys in a hearbeat..Heck...I knew you when you were a pre-pharm.
You may not have known but I left a meeting at ashp to go read your poster. You had no idea who I was.
Not really.
Being a *good* retail pharmacist is a bitch. I don't think you quite appreciate how hard it is to go from the world of dosing antibiotics and sitting in the basement to learning the ins and outs of insurance billing, how to do a complete counseling session, how to deal with the public as a professional, and relearning all of the little things you need to know manning the shift at CVS. What drugs you can take while breastfeeding wasn't even on my radar as a hospital druggist...yet I get calls about that every night it seems.
Being a schmuck is easier to CONCEAL at retail...I'll grant you that...but who wants to be that useless idgit?
I actually got acclimated to being a 50:50 clinical:staff pharmacist straight out of pharmacy school faster than I became proficient at being a retail pharmacist...which honestly, I still don't think has happened yet. Billing medicare baffles me.
Cool story brah .... may I subscribe to your newsletter?
Wrong recommendation on breastfeeding won't kill a baby.....screw up an electrolyte and you will kill a neonate.
Dude, you were my first subscriber...Don't tell me you are not reading it! Good stuff there!

Creeper. I think it was probably my third year poster...I was so nervous, I had never done anything like that. You should come by next year and let me show you how poster presentation is done.
Can't imagine how hard it is to find the right pharmacist. The majority can learn the clinical hybrid job easily, but so few can gel with the rest of the staff. A person can look stellar on a resume, interview great and pass their 90 days. Then they let their true personality come out and they're a disaster for workplace morale for the next decade.
So....you were doing ashp posters as a p3. And others wonder why some are more competitive than others..

No...first one I didn't attend in years. I had just started the new job. Will be there this year.
Most of what you describe here has nothing to do with the actual practice of pharmacy. You are not going to kill someone if you do any of it incorrectly. Getting calls about breast feeding is no different than having the nurses call down to the pharmacy 50 times a day to ask about compatibility of IV's. Breast feeding look it up on clinical pharmacology. IV's look it up in Trissel's. However you give the wrong answer in a hospital and you can really f someone up.
Exactly! You can spend a whole career as an idiopt in retail. If you are an idiot in a hospital eventually you will kill someone.
This is a no brainer. Pharmacy school prepares you to practice pharmacy. This is why you acclimated to hospital so quickly. You said all that needs to be said about retail. Being proficient at retail means learning how to bill insurance and how to take getting yelled at by every idiot that walks in the door. It has nothing to do with practicing pharmacy or what you learned in pharmacy school.
It took me almost 6 months to get a California license. It was brutal.
And there is a lot of truth here. I know people I really like as individuals but can't stand as coworkers.
