Has anyone known any pharmacists who neglected to list other names they go by on their BOP or employment application? It's kind of shocking that this can happen... :wow:
 
Well, sometimes I go by Night Ranger or Big Poppa, but I didn't tell the board that.
 
Shocking? I think that's a strong word. I have, at times, forgotten about my other name, since I've had my current name for such a long time. I've had lenders/background checks, etc. come back with questions, and I just tell them I forgot.

I think it's kind of obvious because my original name was (for example, not my real name 😉): Stephanie Nicole Morris and my current name is Stephanie Morris Lawson... but perhaps it's not readily apparent.
