Hi!
I'm looking for some help with some ideas from some community pharmacy oriented people for a "community pharmacy survival kit" for two friends who are graduating from pharmacy school this year. I'm an ambulatory care pharmacist and have been removed from retail for a number of years now, so I'm just looking for some help with putting this together!
Here are some practical ideas:
- a nice lunchbox to put the items into, and also to imply that they will hopefully be able to take a lunch break
- some non-perishable snacks (such as granola bars, nuts, etc) in case they can't get a lunch
- pens (seeing that they always go missing, maybe with name on them?)
- coffee mug
- personalized stapler...because those always go missing too
- energy drinks
- gum/mints
- stress ball
Some funny ideas:
- a stamp or sticker to call people out on their "BS" or the like
- although I'd love to throw in a catheter incase they can't get to the bathroom, probably not going to happen
- funny pharmacy socks
- some alcohol nips for those tough days (not to be consumed in the store)
- bottle of hand sanitizer for touching all of those prescriptions covered in goodness knows what
I just want to avoid the normal "mortar/pestle" or "ties"
I found this online (but I think most of it's kinda lame-o and won't really be used):
FIREBALL: for the times you feel completely "burned out".
SAFETY PIN: because safety always comes first.
LIFESAVER: to remind you that you are a real lifesaver.
TYLENOL: take two for the headaches you deal with everyday.
PLASTIC MAZE: to remind you that you are truly "amazing".
RUBBERBAND: for when your "patients" are being stretched.
SNICKERS: after all, laughter is the best medicine.
TISSUE: for drying tears.
MONEY: for all the free advice you give.
PLAYING CARD: to help you be a better mind reader.
BANDAID:to keep you stuck together when you feel like falling apart.
ABACUS: for all the counting you do.
KISS: to remind you that you are loved.
(make abacus by putting small beads on a safety pin)
Any suggestions of things that you think I should add? Thanks!!
