I started this thread in the pre-pharmacy forum. I knew Obama will one day save the pharmacy profession!

Not good news if you are planning to attend a pharmacy school that can't get federal student loans:
"President Obama's proposal for direct government funding of student loans -- cutting out private industry -- sent shares of Sallie Mae, Student Loan Corp., Nelnet Inc. and other college loan companies plunging Thursday.
For-profit vocational schools, such as Corinthian Colleges Inc., DeVry Inc. and ITT Educational Services Inc., also saw their stock prices drop. Their students often rely on government-backed loans from private lenders."

link don't work... but from your short excerpt...
How is this saving pharmacy? It could mean that all the pre-accredited school now get federal loan, so even more new pharmacy schools might form since financial aid isn't a problem.
That's not how it works. Federal loan is only given out to students who attend a school with regional accreditation such as WASC in the west coast (this is different from ACPE accreditation). So these students need to get a loan at a high rate from a private lender. If these private lenders have trouble getting credit or do not make as much of a profit to lend to these students, then these students would have a hard time getting a loan. It may very well slow down new pharmacy schools that not associated with a well established university since they don't have regional accreditation.
Off-topic, you say? OK, then. I got home today and saw some random jerk parked his gold-metallic Honda in my spot! That's the garage spot I pay every month for, thank you very much... first time it happened, too, in almost two years. The super said he can't tow it because his tow truck wouldn't fit under garage door, but he promised that if the sorry ass doesn't get lost tomorrow, he will get someone to tow it. For now I am parked in the building management spot... But hell am I irritated...
If they are still there tomorrow, then I will spray paint it with the words "I am a loser who parks illegally" on both windowshield and the back window. If I feel exceptionally mean, I will do it with permanent marker instead. It looks new, so must be leased... it has Rutgers student parking permit on the window.If you are mean, you could "accidentally" scratch that person's car, but that would be really mean. How big could the tow truck be to need someone else to tow a car out?
And where am I a going to get those 5-6 guys? It's not a college campus. Besides, I almost debating what I want to see more - my spot freed up by the time I return from the post office, or them still here so I can have the pleasure of them being towed and having to pay up a few hundred bucks to the impound lot.Hell its a honda, get 5-6 guys and drag the thing into another spot. My friend had a 89 civic in high school, as a prank we moved it into the teachers parking lot and he got chewed out bad

Depending on what state of undress I would be in, even more.Certainly you can wave down 5 to 6 guys..couldn't you?
That's the only thing that has stopped me from slashing his tires so far.Then again, you do anything to that car, it's not like it'll be that difficult for the car owner to figure out who did it...
Yeah it's pretty ridiculous.
One time at my store we had a guy in line who needed his albuterol MDI but didn't have any refills. He asked what was OTC and we pointed him to the epinephrine stuff but warned him it was ****. Well he goes to grab it, brings it to the register, and right as I'm about to ring it up the next person in line says:
"No, I'm sorry, I can't let you use that stuff, it's garbage. I'm a physician, I'll refill your albuterol."
Pretty lol.
Honestly? I thought it worked better than albuterol. Usually I need two puffs over 2 minutes when my lungs get tight...one puff of epi and my lungs were clear within seconds. I was actually impressed.

That's something that I think unfortunately is a big ego trip for a lot of pharmacists. They hide behind "I'm gonna lose my license" but I've known quite a few who just love saying no to patients. Kind of sad.I never understood why pharmacists refuse to give albuterol to the patient while wait for the physician to approve the refill. They have the full authority to do so. Just because they can't give a partial fill for albuterol to the patient, they would rather have the patient go to the ER.
Isn't it kinda odd that epinephrine inhalation aerosols are OTC, but albuterol inhalation aerosols are prescription only. (Says the guy who had an asthma attack at Dave & Buster's tonight with his albuterol 60 miles away...)
I think I have pink eye.
pink eye is so gross. I hate it.
I hate working overnight shifts...at least I get tomorrow off!
Me too!!!
Just be like me and only sleep 3 hours a night. Hell, I have to be at work in a few hours...

It is expensive but when you only buy a nice pair every 5 yrs then it is not too bad.
I'm becoming more and more conflicted....
Should I:
A) Get an MBA and become the director at Priapism hospital some day, and, thus, his boss.
B) Stay where I am as we were told that we'd go on the floors this next decade and I've "called" the ED (everyone else is afraid of it)...which is pretty much the only cool thing I'd imagine doing as a hospital pharmacist.
C) Go do a fellowship in translational medicine...which is probably what I'd be the best at.
Oh, to be young and with options...
Nothing says "I'm a pretentious biotch" like a pair of those oversized sunglasses that chicks wear.
