Guys...ask around to pharmacists and techs (not your potential school, not your advisor, not anyone who makes money off of your dreams) how they are being treated during the COVID crisis...

A warning..heed it or don’t

 

[mentos]

But it's their passion and they want to help people!

 

[farm4real]

Help the stockholders of the chains, help the deans of diploma mills, help the PBMs, help our “leader$” of pharmacy organizations.....definitely will be helping some people with their financial goals

Healthcare may come up once in a while....make sure to pretend that the patient’s health is your pharmacy’s top priority like the commercials say

Hard to imagine a profession that is so In need of reform, where the reality is so far from the perception sold by schools.....

A quick reading suggestion attached

I just googled that book. Turns out, the author of that book "advocates for changes in the pharmacy workplace" yet works in a PBM. In other words, she's shedding crocodile tears and is trying to make a quick buck off selling books that appeal to the masses. Basically, this is no different from Alex Barker's scam business model.

lol, everyone is scamming everyone in this profession apparently.

logic 101: the truth value of the content of this book is not dependent upon the author's job ; the book's argument stands or falls on its own...

logic 102: credibility matters. Me telling a pre-pharm that pharmacy is saturated carries a different weight than a pharmacy school dean/professor saying the field is saturated, which carries a different weight than a family member, family friend, significant other or non-healthcare worker saying the field is saturated. So no, the book's argument does not stand or fall on its own because context matters.

It's called cannibalism. This profession is literally the most cannibalistic profession I know.

Seems like many of them are doing it more for validation or other self-centered motives.

If they wanted to help the profession then they need to not sign away $200k+ in loans to a predatory pharmacy school only to end up in a position where they're so desperate for a job that they inadvertently set the new standard of no bathroom breaks, no protection from a virulent disease, lower pay, and compromise of patient safety for the rest of us.

Truth value and credibility are two very separate concepts

they're still in lala land haven't even fully transitioned from high school mentality. they're in that undergrad phase still of not letting the real world bother them yet. i mean i don't blame them either it's a nice place to be in, but yeah ignorance is bliss

I was lucky and got started with a hospital system right out of school few years ago. If I could go back...I would have done the CRNA route.

They think all their student loans will be forgiven.

 

[nickw2401]

A few of the girls that thought they were instagram models in my class did that too and this was 3 years ago...dont see any of that anymore from them

 

[sozetone]

capitalism at it's finest.....

 

[trailerpark]

Is it true pharmacists were initially forgot about for the HEROES Act over hospital garbage picker-uppers? I'm just going to keep working hard to differentiate myself.

The school professors that do not even know what DIRs are or the dean that does not understand the root cause of this hyper over saturation when his school JUST opened 3 years ago lol This is worse than blind leading blind. Blinds have their other senses heightened i.e. Daredevil lol We are more like Olaf, the snowman that wants to go to the beach. We know we're gonna die yet we still going...

This is such a typical delusion of grandeur. Somehow they probably think they’re superior than others because theyre in pharmacy school and one day theyre gonna be all mighty pharmacists. Lol its gonna hurt when they hit that wall of reality lol

Were pretty much useless weight for this crisis.

The only thing i have seen as far as being asked to step up and be heroes during the pandemic, is testing. They want us to sit in booths and scrape peoples funky noses who are possibly positive. Awesome..... It's like we are the janitors for this situation. No thanks, ill go scrub garbage trucks somewhere for 35 or so an hour....lol real providers huh?

Aren't the tests pretty much self-administered now? You give a patient the testing kit. They swab themselves and put it in a container and give it to you. You take that and send it to the lab. If pharmacy gets involved with corona testing there is nothing clinical to see here... no counseling, no diagnosing symptoms, no nothing. And don't even try to bring up the "would you like an MTM with that corona test?" argument.

Pharmacies are simply vehicles that act as collection sites, not primary care sites, for covid -- in other words it's the location/accessibility to pharmacies that public health officials and consumers are interested in, NOT access to pharmacists that they are interested in.
