Do you guys actually work in real retail pharmacy??? You must know script counts is not the only determining factor in how bad your job is. Hell I admit it, my script count is great, i usually get to sit in a stool when it's not busy. There are one off where you are bombarded with flu shot because some headlines some where in the newspaper about the flu epidemic this year (who knows).
But sitting in a stool comes with a whole new set of problem:
let's see here
"you aren't busy i need you to register for other stores and do their MTM so they meet their goals."
"I need you to call other store for their patients for adherence and refills and blah blah blah."
"I need you to remote verify for other busy stores."
"I need you to type for busy stores."
"your script count is not high enough, I think we are going to have to talk about changing your pharmacy opening hours to 9-7?"
You know what happens to the staff pharmacist when a store go to 9-7? You are on your own, float around. I'm sorry we can guarantee you full time now. Too many new grads need hours.
Listen, like i said there are good days and bad days. Do I work hard? hell yea, I may not fill as much as someone in a 400-500 hundred a day store (trust me I did my time), I still get stuck with a lot of crap.
you all are missing the point, I'm not here to brag about how great I am at doing 40 shots. Hell if I have a choice i'd turn them away like Gombrich suggested. (Is that still an option? LOL "I'm sorry sir its too busy you are going to have to come back later to get your flu shot." )Until I find something better, I'd like to keep my job.
If I had a choice I'd never go to pharmacy school to begin with, unfortunately I have no choice. So I'm just trying to see if anyone else has an option that I did not or have no seen.
Man you guys are brutal!!!!
