I'll try to be quick, but I'm a third shift impatient pharmacy technician. I'm trained and work mostly in regular sterile compounding, covering the hospital for the duration of the evening shift. I've asked to be trained in chemotherapy before(because it includes a premium added to my hourly wage), but have been told no by management since we won't have to do that on third shift here and training would require them to get 2 weeks of third shift coverage.

So of course last night we got a stat chemo medication that needed to be prepared in out hazardous room. I have no training in there with the BSC hoods or with the use of the closed system transfer devices that we use. The pharmacist ended up going in to make it after he figured out how everything worked with the tubing and such.

So anyway, today I get an email that it's our responsibility to make these medications if we get stat orders overnight. They also included a pamphlet of how the closed system transfer device is supposed to work. Am I in the wrong to refuse to prepare chemo until I'm properly trained? I feel it both a patient safety issue, as well as a safety issue for me preparing it. Also, if I am being expected to prepare this if it occurs, I feel I should be getting trained so I get the hourly premium associated with it.

Thank you!

Finally managed to add a nice 1903 Springfield to my collection. Stumbled upon it at a local shop by chance today, for a fairly decent deal. Been looking for one for a while, so I'm happy to check that box off the list. Stock has some cool patterns, especially on the bottom.

Here is an 1880s CT Ham No. 12 side lamp. It throws an impressive amount of light for being 140+ years old and kerosene fueled. Beamshots included!

Some of the well dried Osage staves my dad cut and split in the early 90s. Some are cleaned up and some are still in the rough. Many are 6' plus. There are easily over 100 of these stored in various rooms in our barns. There are a few staves of other types of wood, and some random boards too.

I'm being told I need to prepare chemotherapy IV medications, despite not being trained.

R. E. Dietz had significant holdings in the Stem Gauge and Lantern Co, and they made the same models of lanterns with slight differences. Here are the "Square Lift" models from each company, showing some of the variation. SG&L was fully absorbed by Dietz in 1898. USA
