I am glad that you work at a facility that is completely free of any and all State and JCAHO requirements. Wish I worked there.

Trissel's ,Micromedex, Lexicomp, Sanford Guide, Epocrates, Drugs.com Good thing you lost your "old" IV medication book, because it's not updated. You need electronic reference books. How bad could your internet be? And what size reference book can you carry in your pocket? The State of...

I wasn't going to chime in, because the thread was from 9/2020, and some (2-3) posters were banned, on this thread. The main reason was, circumstances have drastically changed, POST Covid. I was a travel / COVID pharmacist, for over 2 years, we were at a COVID-only hospital in Albany, GA. Some...

Undergrad- UK #6 (that's why they wouldn't let me in, to save their ranking) My home state, Georgia UGA #15 Mercer #60 (where I went to school) P-COM #122 South #132 (always on the verge of un-accreditation As a hiring manager, knowing what I know, I would question hiring from PCOM. And...

Hey Dred, I wouldn't be able to afford you!! I am not hiring "middle aged', or OLD pharmacist, anyway :eek::cool::eek: Thanks for your interest, but we decided to go a different direction ( if I had a $1 for every time I heard that, I would have $25) Update, I have hired a full staff. It was...

Mason, you do realize this is a pharmacy forum! This thread is from 3 years ago. My favorite super hero, Captain Obvious, to the rescue.

Hello Everyone - Just started my second week as DOP. We are working out of temp. spaces, while they finish the new hospital. Grand opening should be May, this year. We have already had to go in front of the Georgia Board of Pharmacy, once, to request an exception. Looks like we have to go in...

sunnyandseventytwo love the forum name, aptly describing SoCal. We have lots of family and friends in LA and OC. Wow, great weather, great diversity. But, for the price of my mini-mansion, here in the ATL, I can get a 3br-2ba, fixer upper in LA. Hey, I will put up with a lot of chit, for...

I don’t know how old you are, or how long you have worked as a pharmacist, but as a general rule, life is not fair. There is a whole lot of politics, nepotism, and favoritism that goes on in pharmacy. I was fired (sort of) from a sweet daytime 7on/7off hospital staff job, because the a-hole...

Just a few words of advice, some encouragement from a senior citizen. I have been a pharmacist for 38 years, Pharm.Tech, staff pharmacist to re regional manager, and back down to staff pharmacist. Several times over, like 9 times! Now, out of pure necessity, back to hiring manager!!! Having...

Wow, this thread took a dark turn. From comical, easy going 2024 predictions, to World War 3 and US elections and revolt!

Clinical Pharmacist/IV pharmacist for 38 years, I wouldn't even begin to assess infection risk in IV compounding in such an environment. USP 797 gives us a BUD of 24hrs for emergency, "table top" compounding. Bacteriostatic, as named, is not bactericidal, so limited in scope. Now, these...

Wasn't Leo, The Great Gatsby, the eccentric billionaire (inflation), lived in a mansion, threw wild parties? Did I miss the part where Leo was filling Rx's and making milk shake? I stand corrected.

Along the same line: Can anybody point out a movie, where a pharmacist is the lead, at the same time, not a psychopath or an idiot! Seems like all the pharmacist roles are minor, selling condoms, or filling a prescription for the lead actor. I am sure there is a movie out there, to fit the bill.

Yemen is of no consequence in the region. Their only natural resource it, is "Strategic location". It's political system is "Civil War". Yes, battle hardened, due to decades of civil war. And that is amongst several different warring parties. Sort of like, a poor man's Afghanistan (without...
