We can't apply for our intern licenses in VA until we've finished a year of pharmacy school, but CVS has a 3rd year Intern classification for people in their P1 year. Evidently you're supposed to learn how to be a tech during that time (I've been working for CVS forever, so I've got that stuff covered). I just do the regular tech duties that I've done all along, but now I don't have to run register nearly as much!
Sometimes, under direct pharmacist supervision, they even let me reconstitue liquid antibiotics using the automated water dispenser thingy...
..oh wait, I've always done that...but new CVS policy says only the Pharmacist or an Intern can. BTW...how are the new CVS policies about only Pharmacists being allowed to get things out of the fridge or reconstitute going for my fellow CVS employees?? I understand where they are coming from, but it's rather inconvenient for customers during busy hours when we don't have Pharmacist overlap, the Pharmacist is otherwise tied-up, and the customer is tying up the drive-through waiting for their kids liquid antibiotic.
