That feel when u are solo overnight and u have 80 to fill, 120 deletes, 7 compounds, and it's 3 am. And there's 2 calls on the lines and there's a pile of vials from partial fills because the new machine is absolutely crap and u just want ur old machine back, and u want 2 cry... sigh
 
120 deletes? You mean RTSs? That's a lot. 5 pages of QP isn't THAT bad, though. You should be able to easily knock that out with a robot. 7 compounds is laughably absurd, though. That could take over an hour, easily.

Overnights at CVS are rather soul crushing these days. No matter how hard you work...you can never seem to get things caught up. Thankfully, I've proven myself to my coworkers, so they know I'm not just dropping the ball. It is really, honestly, just complete balls. I feel for the OVN RPHs that just work, without a break, for 12 straight hours as hard as they can...and the dayshift people come in and complain that it isn't perfect. Because I know some people that have to deal with that. No respect for a job that isn't as easy as people seem to think it is. Some of them think we sit around for hours doing nothing. Or that the phone never rings and that there are magically no customers as soon as they leave at 9PM until they come back at 9AM.

Good luck,man.

I had one day timer telling me “you used to be able to finish everything, what happened? I think you don’t care anymore”. They just don’t know...
 
7 CMPDs = crazy. Oh how RTS is the bane of overnight....averaging a solid 75/night it seems. Insanely more if patient requested RTS builds up (close to what you are @)

Don't forget about c2 cycle counts....daytime has no idea how perpetual c2 inventory works in most cases (....).

the best is when the compounds you made during your previous workweek show up on the RTS listp
 
Yep. :/ well ended up leaving my rxm 50 to fill told them sry but I tried (had 2 floaters the day before). Bin rec is tommorw and I couldn't even get to 30 of the return to stocks so tomorrow is going to be just that more crappy
 
You need to not be so hard on yourself. There's cuts everywhere to working hours, so you are being burdened even more. Take a look at your stats, if you are constantly doing stuff, it does show. If you are not failing, corporate considers that efficient use of labor. It is only when things break that corporate starts to care. I foresee another round of patient misfill lawsuits.
 
You have more returns than auto refills? How does that work?
 
Basically was crying after this last shift. We down 2 staff rph due to family and maternity leave, our new yuama is terrible (less cells, weird errors, pills jamming, constant partial fills without warnings) and the store manager says there is no ic3 for u and they'll yell my name over the intercom that I better pick up 101, meanwhile I'm slammed with 80+ to fill, etc etc. The worst is these damn phones ringing what seems every 20 min even at 4 am can't get anything done it feels like.
 
I remember I used to be done at 2am and start watching videos til 6am, and did robot & the trash. That was 5 yrs ago XD

Try to get into daytime shifts to reduce your cancer risk, plus your heart will thank you.
