Summer homework - NOT NICE!

I'm all bogged down.

I'm doing the Walgreens summer internship and we have all these projects we are supposed to do. Of course I have no time at WORK to do them, so they become an unpleasant after-work task.

Plus, we have summer homework assigned for pharmacy school. Stuff we'll be tested over the first or second week.

Anyone else having this much summer fun? I was looking forward to a break from school, but no such luck.

obviously, you don't know how to do the summer intern thing...

...be like the Walgreens summer interns that got 'stationed' here in AZ.

...like the one who disappears to the waiting room to talk on her cell phone all the time.

...or the one who refuses to take Rx's from the voice-mail, because interns can't do that back in his home state.

It sounds like you're actually working, which seems to be taboo to many of the 'quality' future pharmacists that walgreens is dumping into our stores.

Yes, yes, obviously I need to change my ways, LOL.

I've been filling, filling, filling, taking new RX's from doctors, doing transfers and all of the compounds.

Plus a billion and one hours of IC+ computer training.

Do you have the formal intern program in AZ? The one where there is a large group of interns that meet weekly like a class? With field trips, workshops and stuff?

I've really tried to love this intern program, but I just don't.

Well, on the bright side, at least the techs and local interns won't talk $hit about you. 🙂

Yes, WAG has that program out here, since they've traditionally been pretty desperate to recruit for the Phoenix market. No 'locals' participate, since MWU-CPG is a year-round program, and the UA students probably have their own regular intern gigs... but they've got students from Purdue, KU, etc. ...doing just what you described. (I'm sure there's some good ones out here, but have yet to hear about or meet them.)

I made four compounds today:

Norvasc suspension 1 mg/ml

Triamcinolone/menthol/phenol something or other

Desonide and clotrimazole cream

Velvachol/betamethasone/coal tar thing (smells GREAT)!




I wonder how many cities have the formal intern program for Wags? We also have the "business management" internship program for more advanced pharmacy students. Although there are some third and fourth years in my program who have never worked retail before. Most of us are P1 and P2 though.
