Why? Turkish rugs are really quite spectacular. You should think about buying some gold while you're there- it's typically so cheap, you might be able to turn a profit if you pawned it stateside. Just try not to exceed customs declarations.

Started my hospital rotation. Last thing I have to do before becoming certified. The environment is most certainly different, but kinda exciting.

You're becoming a nurse?

No. Too many nurses in my area as it is (Not that I don't respect the position). If you look to my left, it'll tell you what I'm trying to be.

What's a pharmacy tech, as opposed to a regular pharmacist? Forgive my ignorance, it's not a field I know much about at all.

Originally posted by Sushipunk What's a pharmacy tech, as opposed to a regular pharmacist? Forgive my ignorance, it's not a field I know much about at all.

Basically, pharmacy techs do most of the grunt work. In a retail setting, PhT's are in charge of billing, contacting a patient's insurance company in case there's any problems, doing basic paper filing, filling and dispensing the drugs, inventory checks etc. In an in-patient hospital setting, techs will also go ahead and fill med stations located in various departments, fill STAT orders, do some basic compounding (Mixing 2-3 different drugs together and dispensing them in vials or containers), fill IV bags and TPN's, as well as deliver orders of high volume drugs that may be requested from the Emergency Room, Intensive Care Units, or Anesthesiology.

The pharmacists are our supervisors. In both retail and hospital settings, the pharmacist has to check our work and ensure that the order is right, before sending it out. Most of the time, the pharmacist is the only one who can fill CII orders (Narcotics that have been given a Schedule II rating in the USA such as Adderall and Morphine), although some of the more experienced techs can fill these depending on the pharmacy rules. Also, the pharmacist is the only one who can give consultations to the patients regarding the medications they are taking. In an in-patient setting, this is inapplicable, but in an out-patient setting, pharmacists will spend the majority of their time consulting patients. In the USA, Pharmacy Techs are not allowed to give consultations. If a patient has any questions, for example, how 3 different drugs that they are taking in conjunction together will react to one another, only the pharmacist can answer that. The pharmacist can also do any of the jobs a tech could do and some, but they normally only do that if the pharmacy is busy. In a hospital setting, pharmacists will spend their time answering drug-related questions from other doctors and physicians. And while they can't alter a prescription, they can contact the prescriber's office and question the script, if they believe that the dosage is too high or if a drug interaction may be harmful to a patient from what is read on their profile. Lastly, it is the pharmacist who takes full responsibility if anything goes wrong. If the pharmacy fails a surprise inspection from the state, or if significant harm or death befalls a patient. Pharmacists can be sued in a court of law. Hope this answers your question.

Congrats. Yeah, it seems like everyone wants to become a nurse now. The sad part is knowing people who went through the trouble and then not being able to find jobs. They thought they were safe because nursing is suppose to be recession-proof career.

Therapist? He used to be an analyst, so I guess that makes him an analrapist.

Holy crap! Ken! Long time no talk. I've wondered where you've been, man.

I've been out of pretty much every loop there is, life hasn't exactly been peachy for the past years. But after the baby came I've started to socialize a bit more. Really does wonders to have someone who's always happy to see me no matter how I feel.



He's 2 now, I've had him for about a year. His first year consisted of getting beat up by his alcoholic, junkie owners on regular basis. The stuff that's been done to him is so graphic that I don't even want to talk about it. When I got him he was so afraid of everything, and I do mean everything, especially people. I don't think he'll ever recover completely, but now he's safe with me and I'll give him all the time and help he needs.

Nonsense! I always ask permission first.

awesome dude....what's his name?

Robert, Robbie.

edit: Would probably have gone for something else, but that's the name he was given. If he'd been 'Spot' or something I would have changed it, but Robbie ain't that bad.

When you said 'baby' I thought you had a child haha.


That's so fucked up, but at least you're able to save him and give him a second chance at life. Good for you

Actually, the really sad part is that so many people DO want to be nurses, and most of them aren't really cut out for it. But they want a good paycheck and view it simply as a job. Way too many shit nurses out there because of that.

Hey Rose. Long time no talk. Here in the central valley area, the nursing field had already been strong long before the financial crisis. I remember going to community college in 2001 and about half the people I knew were all trying to get into nursing school. Even my parents and a few of their friends were trying to get me to be an RN as well, but I just didn't want to "go with the flow" because my heart wasn't in it. I probably wouldn't have even entered health care if it wasn't for the recession, that shit changed everything here. But at least by that point, I had a high interest in drugs that handling large volumes of them seemed cool. So far, it still is.

ROSE I WOULD LIKE TO SLATHER MY EMISSIONS ACROSS YOUR AMPLE NAVEL CLEAVAGE
