2023.05.29 04:46 ripnbryy Never been trained

so, I've been working at here in the pharmacy for like almost 2 months now? I'm part time, I only work 2-3 days from the week.
the last month or two I have not been trained by one person At All, not even when I was doing "training" for cashier, no one at all bothered training me and I've guessed most of the way and it's worked for the most part. I've been trying to get the technician license but no one at all even bothers.... training me? all I do is rts, pick ups, putting medication in their numbered box and occasionally drive thru if there's not many people scheduled. I can barely do anything and I always have to refer customers to the drop off where another employee when their medication has been rts'd or on hold.
I used to ask a lot of questions but recently they've been just ignoring me or just not answering my question and go straight to the customepatient and deal with it themselves.
I truly hate just standing there for 10 or so hours every single time I'm scheduled.
I've been to other locations to pick up shifts and it's usually the same thing, I am simply there to be a cashier.
I always ask the manager is there anything else I can do, what else can I learn and she'll just put it off and send me to do the usual, pick ups, drive thru, rts and putting the baggies in their numbered box..
I was just thinking of asking the pharmacy manager or the store manager if I can just be front store? will they accept that? how would I bring this up to the managers ? will they even accept this offer ?

2023.05.29 03:43 ElfMage83 Not sure if this fits, but here's my story.

I'm currently finishing a contract with a long-term care pharmacy as a temporary employee, to leave and take a job as a regular employee for a job that pays more, offers comparable benefits to those of regular employees, and is closer to where I live. I don't mind the work I do, but I feel unfulfilled. When I told the temp agency about my upcoming move they countered with a pay increase of a bit over a dollar an hour, but still with no benefits or PTO. I'm a certified pharmacy technician with six years of experience and a degree in a healthcare-related field and I'm filing pills for people I'll never see for less than $18 an hour. This new job is better all around IMO.

2023.05.29 01:56 ProfessionalAgno Pregnant fiance looking for remote work postpartum

Hello,
My fiance is currently 6 months pregnant with our first (very exciting). However maternity leave is only 3 months and day care is quite expensive so she is interested in finding something remote to continue bringing income while avoiding childcare.
She currently works as a pharmacy technician which she needed to get certified for. Neither one of us is sure where to begin to look for a remote position since we've always worked and gotten hired for traditional in-person jobs. Any point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

2023.05.29 01:55 ellielisabeth7 today’s the first day i raised my voice at a patien

today i’ve officially been royally pissed off by a customer. everything started off smoothly. it’s sunday and our hours are 10-6. the day went by ok and me, the only technician, and the pharmacist were working together pretty well and getting stuff done and filling for PLENTY of waiters
the time is now 5:55 and we’re both ready to go home. i’m off for monday and tuesday so it’s like my own little weekend. the pharmacist and i had both been working for about a week straight. lady pulls up in the drive thru, we have one script ready for her. she says there’s supposed to be 4 new scripts the doc sent in. the doc only sent one in, and i tell her this. so she tells me to use some refills on year old scripts and i say ok.
i sent through her scripts to be filled another day. i tell her we don’t have enough time to fill 3 scripts in 3 minutes (it’s now 5:57). she said “well i’m here now so”. i said ok well we close in 3 minutes and i have 3 other people to take care of. again, she she says “ok well i’m here now”. at this point i’m already fed up and just hang up the phone and tell the pharmacist to handle it because i have other things to do before we go. i hear him tell her the same thing, we don’t have enough time. then i hear him get repeatedly interrupted when he goes to speak. then i hear him say “you know what, i tried to be nice. we’re not filling the scripts. have a good day”. he then tells her his name and the number for corporate and hangs up
i finished ringing up a customer and she is still sitting there on the phone with corporate. there’s someone literally sitting behind her. i tell her she needs to get out the line. she immediately starts yelling and i have to tell her not nicely she needs to get out or i’m calling the cops. she just keeps arguing. i’m pissed so i just march out the pharmacy and get shift lead. by the time we get back the dude from drive thru had just come in, thankfully. shift lead essentially told her the same thing. we ain’t filling it. 6:00 rolled by and i shut the window in her face. took the trash out and we went home. now i’ll enjoy my personal weekend

2023.05.28 19:59 lieutenantspoon Just accepted into nursing school!! Any Advice?

Hi guys!!! Feel free to delete if this post is in the wrong place.
I just received my acceptance letter to nursing school last night. I am so excited but also so so nervous.
I was hoping to get some advice on how to survive nursing school and some of YOUR experiences in nursing school and how you survived. I’m really scared. Maybe specifically how to balance work/school/life and any advice for the more difficult challenges you faced class wise. I do have quite a bit of knowledge on pharmacology as I am a pharmacy technician and am always asking questions at work.
I plan to work around 18 hours a week at my job as a pharmacy technician as I still have bills to pay. I don’t have children.
Thank you so much in advance to anybody who responds.

2023.05.28 19:28 Unlucky-Community315 30 [M4F] North Carolina/Anywhere in the USA - Introvert looking for a fellow Introvert

Hello, my name is C (real name will be given out once we're comfortable with each other). I am 30 from North Carolina. I typically work anywhere from 35 to 40 hours a week as a Pharmacy Technician. In my down time I enjoy being a night owl (when work allows me to be), conversations over Discord, Gaming (I have a gaming PC and a Nintendo Switch), watching YouTube and Twitch content, watching movies or shows, and listening to music. I also appreciate dark humor!
(I am 6'2",chubby, and white if that matters to you)
I love nerding out over new tech, learning about pc parts, audio gear (microphones, audio interfaces, etc), cellphones, and other stuff. I enjoy building PCs as well. I would like to get into making content on YouTube or Twitch, or possibly streaming, so finding somebody with similar interests would be huge! I have been told I have a very nice voice :)
Gaming: I typically play RPGS and Shooters, but I'm also an avid Pokémon fan, and I'll dabble in MMOs from time to time. I like to keep an open mind so I'm always down to try something new and outside my normal.
Movies and Shows: I go for Action and Comedy movies usually. The Rush Hour trilogy is my favorite series.
Music: I listen to a lot of different types of music but I tend to focus on Pop Rock, Pop Punk, and Acoustic music the most. Some rap and country is alright but I don't usually go out of my way to listen to it.
What I am Looking For:
I am looking for a serious relationship with a fellow introvert, someone with similar interests, someone I can game with and possibly make content or stream with, someone who loves dark humor and can take a joke while dishing them back at me. I love when someone doesn't take themselves too seriously (within reason of course).
I don't mind long distance as long as you're in the mainland USA and there will eventually be the move to meet up at some point.
If you think we would mesh well together, send me a DM or a Chat (sometimes the Reddit chat is kind of buggy, so feel free to send both!)
Hope to hear from you soon!

2023.05.28 18:17 No-Yesterday-717 I need some advice (pharmacy tech)

Hey Reddit so I’ve found myself in a bit of a situation. I recently started a new job as a pharmacy tech at a retail pharmacy, having come from a different retail pharmacy out of state. This particular location is only having me work register every single day for my entire shift and I’m very quickly becoming burnt out and overstimulated from having to talk to people and being the only person helping customers all day. When I go home after work I’ve been going to bed just to avoid talking to my family because I don’t want to talk to people anymore after my shifts. It’s to the point there is a full staff in the pharmacy and I will be working through a line at pick up or drive through while another line is forming at one of those stations and nobody else goes over to help those customers. They wait for me to finish and then jump back and forth all day from those stations. Keep in mind they aren’t short staffed and they aren’t particularly busy, at least compared to how busy my last pharmacy was where I still got trained and didn’t stay at one workstation.
At first I thought okay yknow I’m new here and it’s probably just because I haven’t yet been trained on every workstation. Then I found out they have no intention of training me or having me work any other stations. I’m not new to pharmacy and I generally know how to perform the tasks associated with this role however this is a new company for me so there are differences that I’d need to learn and be trained on to be successful. This particular location has a pattern of newly hired pharmacy techs quit due to lack of training and only working register.
The coworker who started most recently before me told me that she was stuck on register prior to my being hired and has never been formally trained with any other workstation, she has no prior pharmacy experience. There was one time where there were no customers to help at drive through or pick up so I went and filled a prescription. Literally one. It was filled 100% correctly and another coworker came over and said that I’d drive myself crazy doing that when I’m working register. Clearly there were no customers to help, I’m not even sure why she felt the need to be rude to me. Also nobody at work even speaks to me outside of customers and it’s very isolating. When I need to ask them for help they act bothered when I have no choice but to involve someone else in certain situations due to me having no training and being unable to fully help the customer because of it. There was one day where I was scheduled to be in the office working on some of the online training material, but I wasn’t able to login and instead of helping me get into the system, I was told to work on some online training on a different platform, and I did so for about an hour until they pulled me off to work register again. I was scheduled to do online training for that shift (8hrs) but I only did one. Next weeks schedule doesn’t even have any time set aside to do online training. So it seems like this is my permanent fate unless I quit or speak up.
Now I have no problem working register, as it’s a part of all retail pharmacy technicians job. However, I did not apply for a cashier only position and register has been the only part of my job here and I’m extremely unhappy and disappointed in how this position and their training program was advertised versus the reality of what it’s been like for me and obviously others before me. There is no rotation and I’m not being trained or getting experience in any other area.
In a short amount of time, I’ve gone from being excited to jump in with a new company to feeling completely hopeless and wanting to cry when I think about my next shift.
Sorry for the long rant, I’m posting here to ask for advice in speaking to upper management about what’s going on or trying to transfer. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

2023.05.28 17:54 Ok_Masterpiece5050 What to do with ~40K that I may need to access within a year.

What to do with large sum of money.
Basically I’m moving to the state above me working for the same company for a promotion. I currently own a home where I live and am able to pay for everything for my wife dog and cat on just my income. Owe 240,000 more on the house at 2.25% and im 22 going on 23. This promotion will probably net me anywhere from 3-10k more a year depending on bonuses. I made 70K last year but had to work pretty hard for it and I assume the salary of this position will be at least 70K if not more with quarterly bonuses of a few thousand dollars. It’s the job I want and I know it’s probably stupid to leave my house I own at such a damn good interest rate but this promotion takes me from a pest control technician to a operations manager and it’s a step closer to district manager and future promotions and way more money then I could ever make as a technician. So assuming I get the job my wife and is have a child on the way and she will not be willing to get a job for a few months after having the baby (rightfully so) so I doubt I’ll be able to move directly into a house from this house and I’m pretty confident I’m going to have to just rent for a while. I’ve looked at prices and I also personally think interest rates should start dropping (and maybe house prices although I know I can’t time It) soon. I don’t think there is anyway it’s going to be a house to house move so now that you all have all the context. I bought my house for 250,000 assuming I sell I’ll have paid a little over 10K off principal and my realtor and every other resource are pretty confident I can sell for at least 300,000K I figure when all is said and done I should have ~40K lump sum of cash and if we rent for a year or so to help build a larger down payment and emergency fund I don’t want that much money just sitting in my checking account. What do I do with it to make me money in the mean time?

2023.05.28 06:29 JazzminsterAbbey Got hired as pharmacy customer service or designated hitter as the pharmacy manager said, what will my uniform be? Scrubs?

I got hired for the pharmacy and only pharmacy, all shifts will be in there. They asked if I wanted to work front end and I was like no thanks. But I’m confused on what my uniform will be, the email that was sent to me by Walgreens said all pharmacy technicians and designated hitters wear blue scrubs. Is that what I’ll be wearing?

2023.05.28 05:52 Crazy_Albatross8317 What do you guys do with a suspected dealer? Retail setting

Currently working as a grad intern at a retail pharmacy and our current staff pharmacist is new but she suspects 2 patients of being dealers. One has picked up 720 pieces of sildenafil across 3 pharmacies between 2 cities in just 8 months, and this just includes the pharmacies that we know of. He usually pays cash and he always tells the technicians or clerks that he will be moving out of the country soon which is why he is hoarding them, 6 months later he is still here.
More serious one but also could be a little bit more vague is a patient on max dose of oxycodone possible and the thing that alerted the new pharmacist is that this person does not show any signs of discomfort or pain in the last year that he has been picking it up (for a person who for this dose should be in a hospice but it has also been more than 3 years that he has been picking up), always pays cash, never wants to wait, doesn't pick up his other meds on time but he is always on the dot when it comes to this one and will always give us trouble if he doesn't get it right away.
New pharmacist questions why it has gone for this long but at the same time is curious about what are we supposed to do with these people? I thought why not just report to the doctor so they stop getting scripts but will that really help? Use professional judgment and refuse service? But what happens if they retaliate either physically or with a lawsuit?
As I am a foreign graduate I really have no one else to ask these questions so I will appreciate genuine professional advices thank you! As for my pharmacist, he may be new in the big chain retail department but he has been working in an independent pharmacy for the past 30 years until it got bought out. Apparently, it is easier to tell people they ran out or no longer have access to medications in an independent setting than it is in a retail.
Edit: Thank you for all the responses! I will probably just end up deleting this post after a few more hours just because there might be too much info here and since I got my answers.

2023.05.27 21:59 CurrentSector3329 Things are getting bad at home with my family. I'm looking for potential roommates to rent with

Hi! I'm Laura! I'm a 22 year old trans woman who's looking for a like-minded person to rent with!

First, I'll tell you a bit about myself:
My hobbies:
Cooking! Ever since my first cooking class in Grade 6, I've loved cooking. I can make anything from pancakes, to stir fry, to a 5 course Christmas dinner complete with gravy, oven roasted turkey, and cranberry jelly!
Origami! It seems simple on first glance, but origami is actually quite tough to do right. If the folds are off by even a small amount, the final product will be a bit uneven.
Space! Astronomy has been a life long passion of mine. I spend quite a bit of my free time watching space documentaries.
Exercising!

My personality:
I'm a fun, confident, and outgoing woman! I love getting to know people! I'm really excited that I'll get to move to a proper city! It's not as easy to meet people in the small town I live in. Everyone is either too busy, moving to Vancouver, or twice my age.

How I realized I'm not cis:
Like most trans people, it took a really long time for me to realize I wasn't cis. I spent several years dressing as a woman in private and using a feminine name before realizing that wasn't very cis of me. Up to that point, I had been in denial about my desire to be a woman. Despite fighting against it with all my might, I could never stop myself from buying a bunch of cute clothes whenever I went shopping at Walmart.
After I started questioning my identity, I realized that I had been acting like such an egg for my whole life! I really don't know how it took 21 years for my egg to crack lol. I mean, no cis guy is constantly overwhelmed by jealousy of women's fashion and makeup! No cis guy wishes that he was born a woman!

Why I'm moving out:
Due to health issues, my family found out I was a trans woman. They ended up being just as transphobic as I knew they would be. On top of that, they invalidate my health concerns and feelings in general. I can no longer put up with them. Plus, I currently live in a small town in the Lower Mainland. There are multiple "Freedumb convoy" supporters on every street.
I'm looking to move to a decently sized city with more job opportunities. I currently work as a Math and Science tutor for high school students, but I'm looking to get back into retail work.

My career plans:
In the first few months after I get a retail job, I will study for the Cisco CCNA exam so I can get a higher paying job as a help desk specialist. After working in help desk for about 6-8 months, I will have the necessary experience to work as a network technician (which is a well-paying job)!

My qualifications:
I have a Pharmacy Assistant diploma and the CompTIA A+ certificate. The CompTIA A+ qualifies me to do computer repair and help desk type jobs.
I've spent the last few months studying interpersonal, sales, and customer service skills. I've made a massive improvement in these skills since the beginning of the year. While I'm not quite at company spokesperson level, I can definitely succeed in any customer service role!

What I'm looking for in a roommate:
I'm happy to live with anyone, regardless of gender or orientation. I myself am a lesbian trans woman (transbian?). However, I do not want to live with any cis straight man.
I don't smoke, use cannabis, or use any kind of street drug. I don't mind if you drink or use cannabis responsibly, but I don't want to live with someone who smokes or uses illegal drugs. I don't drink too much these days because alcohol can cause health issues if on Spironolactone.
Someone who is upfront with any concerns. For example, if you want me to leave a bit more space for your food in the fridge, please tell me. I sometimes miss body language gestures, so it's best to say things in a more direct way like "Can you leave a bit more room in the fridge so I can fit more of my food in there?".
Although I'm a fun and easygoing woman, I don't like partying. Specifically, the kind of partying where everyone is high or drunk, loud music, and a huge mess that takes hours to clean up.
I go to bed at 10 pm and wake up at 6 am. After 10, I'd like you to be reasonably quiet.

Since I'm at the start of my transition, I will not be girlmoding in public. I expect you to keep my identity secret. I will keep your identity secret as well.
I'm currently on a low dose of Estrogen and Spironolactone. Once I get a job as a Network Technician in 2-3 years, I will start fully transitioning.

I will be girlmoding in our house. If you have family or friends visiting that are not very supportive, I will present as a cis man.

Message me if you want to be roommates together! Then we can set up a roommate interview and see how well we get along. For our first meeting, let's do it over Zoom or Google Meet or another video app. If we get along, maybe we could meet at a coffee shop?
At the end of our roommate interview, I will go over my budget plans for the next 4 years.
