Pharmacists...I need help!?

well....I'm a pharmacist.  What exactly do you want to know? There is and has been such a huge demand it's ridiculous.  I read a pretty good article at salary.com (pretty sure where) explaining the shortage, benefits, etc that might be what you're looking for.  If not feel free to ask whatever.

Go to your nearest smaller drug store and talk w/ the pharmacist there.  Ask if you could shadow him for a few days.  Tell him about your dream to become one.  I say the smaller ones because you would have a much better chance at getting the answers you are looking for first hand.  You would get to see all the ins and outs and possibly even assist a bit.  If you get to do that for like a week, then you will have all the info you need to see if this is really what you want to do.  If it is, I wish you all the luck in the world because you deserve it!

I have had this problem with many services.  The pharmacy is a good one.  I take so many meds that sometimes  I accidentally get cutt off of their automated refill system.  I will die because I have diabetes meds and drugs for my mental illness.  You can say I have a wooping pharmacy in my bathroom.  \n\nA couple times I get right down to the last one (number14)Then something  happens and I get disconnected.  Which means that I have to call back and give all those horrid pill bottle numbers to them.  I do this late at night so that I dont freak out on one of my loved one lol.  \n\nAnother automated system that I despise is aol tech support.  Oh man I could go on about them all day.  Whenever they tell you to say something(the automatic teller)is prompted.  Then they do not get anything right you tell them.  \n\nBecause of this they will trasnfer you to their first available tech support person.  Then you will wait forever listining to doctor office music.  Then finally somebody answers and you are like WOW!!!!!!! Finally...\n\nUnfortunately this representive speaks very broken english.  This really sucks.  I try not to loose my patience but my God I cannot understand what they are saying.  Then you can always call back and wait again.  Hoping and praying it is someone that you can understand.  \n\nI could go on but then I would be here for a long time.  Good question and YES it makes me mad.

note im talking about pharmacists in the US, they have different powers and responsibilities in diffrent countries\n\n\ncommunity- working at walgreens, bob's pharmacy, etc. basically count pills, occasianally do a little compounding, answer people's questions, monitor for potential drug problems\n\nhospital- count pills, put them in blister tabs instead of bottles, give doctors advice if needed, make IVs, do some compounding\n\nnuclear pharmacy- prepare radioactive drugs that are used for cancer treatment and diagonostic testing\n\npharmacy consultant- go to nursing homes, hospitals etc. and review patient medications, fix problems, eliminate or add drug therapy, try to switch people to lower cost medications that would be as effective to save money.\n\nclinical pharmacist- work in patient care programs (lipid clinics, diabetes managment, drug therapy managment, research, etc)\n\nthose are the main fields, there are some other nontraditional things as well.\n\npharmacist mainly does the dispensing of drugs (have the degree BS in pharmacy-titled RPh, or Pharm.D- doctor of pharmacy), doctors (have a totally diffrent degree, an MD or DO) are the guys you go see when you are sick, and pharmacologists arent pharmacists, they are scientists who do drug research and try to develop new drugs (for degrees, they have a BS, MS, or PhD in pharmacology or pharmaceutical science or a Pharm.D and then do a couple years of a research fellowship to become certified). if youre interviewing to get into pharmacy school, it'll be fairly similar to a job interview., theyll probably ask stuff such as but not limited to "why do you want to do this" "why would you be a good pharmacist" "what are your strenghts and weaknesses" etc. just look on the web for interview preparation stuff.

Find a 24 hour pharmacy like Wal-greens or CVS and call now and ask the pharmacist.  \n\nI mix alot of stuff but that doesn't sound right.\n\n\n\nAlso - I was on Cymbalta for awhile and that stuff made me CRAZY when I drank 3-4 alcoholic beverages.

I live in Utah and can tell you what the rules are here. You are in another state, and any other answer you get here is somebody's guess.\n\nContact the Indiana State Board of Pharmacy and they can give you the rules and requirements.\n\nI would bet the guys in the Pharmacy know the rules already. If they are 'acting stupid'  or otherwise discouraging you, then I would suspect they are not so keen on having a student. I can't blame them really. Students are more trouble than they are worth, UNLESS they are going to stay with the company.

that is a really serious question, ask your doctor or pharmacist

you can call the doctors office that wrote the perscription for you and ask for the doctor to call the pharmacy you go to  (like giant or cvs) and fill it. just be sure to have the pharmacy's phone numbers to give to the doctors office.

First you should contact your local pharmacy and ask them what you should do. If you can't get a hold of them then dissolve the pills and then flush them that way no one can get a hold of them and try to take them.

Talk to the pharmacist at your nearest drug store.  There is a book, but I can't remember the name.  It might be in the PDR.\n\nhttp://www.pdr.net/Home/Home.aspx

You need to make sure your doctor knows all the medications you are taking as well as the pharmacist.  I would probably trust a pharmacist at least as much or more to know what can be mixed together.  If you have concerns, ask the pharmacist when you have the prescription filled to check for compatability of the medications.
