This libra person might be right but speaks as if they know they are right. Maybe Russia does end up being successful. It seems like libra is cheering for them. I most likely think Russia will continue if they aren't stopped. I hope Ukraine can defend its territory and even get the occupied...

I got hired as a DOP after graduation.....right out of school. Just the pharmD and being fine with working in rural area. That might be a path? go rural, get experience, come back to a more desired location for promotion?

Pharmacy is like an annuity for a retirement. No high gains but a steady paycheck that will cover your expenses. I actually like that about it. Compared to how I grew up, I'm living pretty good. But yeah, I'm not "ballin".

I am not even considering insurance. That is an agreement that you make with your insurance company as far as I understand. For example your pharmacy doesn't want you to dispense gabapentin if it's being used for restless legs. Is that actually something that can required for pharmacists to...

I remember when I was getting into pharmacy school in the early 2010's this forum was really hopping. I look at it now and it seems like it died. What happened? At that time it was the pre pharmacy forum that had a lot more traffic than the Pharmacy forum. Now it's changed.

The Donbas is not ****ty land for Ukraine. The land aint great but the what is under the land and the industry there make it one of the most important areas of Ukraine. They give a lot of money to the central government in comparison to the other oblasts. The biggest problem is that the...

great point. I actually have never seen an order where they used it for CAP but I do see now it is FDA approved for that and i see that capped dose recommendation. Interesting there is a max for CAP but not for AOM. Thanks for the insight.

The pharmacist doesn't care. It is at the direction of their employer. You can make most doctors or pharmacists prescribe/dispense or not prescribe/dispense most anything as long as it's in an order set, has a pop up in their system, or a memo is sent out to every one.

yeah if you're from out of state it's only 30k a semester after the first year! wow.

The is always a trip to the ED. We get patients like this all of the time. They just need a dose of their medication they don't have.

Yeah crazy that a FDA approved drug that is prescribed off-label by a doctor would not be filled by a pharmacy. I actually had quite a few issues with this A few of the doctors in my ED thought ivermectin was safe enough and had enough upside that they would prescribe to some patients. The...

at my hospital we get about 2 dollar raise each year depending on performance. I've got about the same each of the 5 years I've been here. My previous hospital I got one raise in 7 years. I guess it depends on where you're at.

weird how those things can persist in some providers minds. "this is how i was trained in residency"

What do you guys do when you are asked about dosing augmentin liquid for kids with acute otitis media. The docs usually want to go with 90 mg/kg but when they calculate the dose they come walking over to me because the dose is usually a lot more than an adult dose for the same indication. It's...
