Hey all,

I'm feeling frustrated because I get straight A's, and performed well in therapeutics last semester for DM, HTN, dyslipidemia, warfarin dosing, etc etc etc. After winter break, we are being tested a lot on this information in lab in different real-life scenarios, and I feel like I don't remember ANYTHING. It's making me doubt my abilities as a future pharmacist. Is this a normal experience?
 
I wouldn’t sweat it because in the real world the three skills you need to be successful as a pharmacist are:
1. Communication skills
2. How to look something up using a drug info resource
2. How to count by 5’s.

I totally agree, but i count by 2's!!! lol. All my life. And im not stopping now.
