But... OP didn't ask you to save them lol. Good intention but at a wrong place.

I am confused since your reference shows PharmD is a part of the work flow ??? I dont really see any "innovation " in those HTN care order set. RN has been working with similar things such as Insulin Sliding scale or Heparin Drip forever. What if the patient conditions don't fall into any of the...

Who doesn't want "Value" right? At my workplace, there are only 2 streams of revenue: billing for patient visits (clinic) & selling drug (pharmacy). Revenue from clinic visits is enough to fund about 4-5 FTE and my pharmacy fund the rest which is around....30 FTE + all the operation cost. My...

I am the opposite. I made the change from nursing to pharmacy.

What do you mean by saying "not doing their job properly" ? Did the RxOM cause any harm to the public or breach their scope of practice or violate any Wag policy? Or the RxOM just didn't meet your expectation ?

Yes, you are correct in term of who give annual review to who & Wag corporate structure. However, in daily pharmacy operation (workflow, making tech schedule etc), I doubt that a "temp PIC" have more power than the local RxOM (well unless the temp PIC is an well known seasoned floater in the...

We usually use "PIC" interchangeable with "RXM", and also most of the time they are the same person. However, PIC is only matter to the board of pharmacy. BOP doesn't care if a PIC is a floater, staff RPh, RXM or even a HCS. In term of pharmacy operation, yes RXM is the 1st in command, then RxOM...

The advantage of a program with a strong network of APPE sites is that during your APPE year, you are more likely to stay in one location (ie you don't have to pack your stuffs and move across states or country every 6-12 weeks). That also means less chance to have APPE sites in the middle of...

I would go with the one that had the best Experiential Education.

I would find a pharm tech job at a health system (if possible), get done with the initial training then go per diem when pharmacy school starts in Fall.

Sure, you can PM me your stuffs. Yes, good jobs are hard to get. Most of the time, those hiring managers already have their preferred candidates in mind (especially in saturated area)

Nov & Dec are "holiday & PTO months". Admins stuffs usually move slower than usual. However, I agree that they are probably waiting for their chosen candidate (such as references check or HR approval). Politics is just a part of any professional career.

Maybe they are doing "courtesy interviews". It happens quite often.

The "reference check" step usually takes the longest (we allow up to 4 weeks to complete) and so we normally initiate the process within a week after interviewing. Usually a quick phone call/email the top/chosen candidates to notify them that we want to check their references. Our HR portal...
