I have been a floater pharmacist with walgreens for 8 months now, and I have already gotten 6 STARS. would this stop me from getting my own store? How many of these events before you get in trouble?

Thank you!As long as you don't make too many "wrong patient" errors, you'll be ok. If you're a hard worker and customers like you, DM might be more forgiving. The worst kind of errors are wrong prescriptions sold or wrong patient. Try not to make those and you won't be in trouble.

It has to be 2 within same week or 3 within 1 month. 6 errors in 8 months is not bad and will not get any visit or call from DM. I had 15 errors last year but my store is a high volume 400+ scripts/day. DM did not mention anything to me about my errors.
From what I've heard Walgreens decides who is in trouble by calculating your major error rate vs total scripts reviewed and then comparing it to your peers. Anyone in the bottom xx% gets disciplined.
So if you had 6 errors in 8 months but you mainly worked at busy stores where you verified 300+ a day you'd likely be okay. Inversely if you were working st slow stores with that many STARS your error rate could be high enough compared to others that you'd get talked to/written up.
As others said take the errors as a learning experience and grow from them. Identify what caused you to make the error and figure out what you can do in the future to prevent it. Get a good working pattern down for data and product reviews and then do it exactly the same every single time. Every. Single. Time.

Strategic Tracking and Analytical Reporting System or something close to thatStars are a negative term? I remember in grade school we wanted to get as many gold stars stickers as possible.
