r/pharmacy

It happened… I was the only one in the pharmacy for a few hours

& it was horrible… damn near cried. I wish I could leave but until then I have to keep on applying. They knew about this shortage since last night but I found out literally an hour before lunch. If any hiring managers or recruiters sees this, please save a retail pharmacist if their resume comes across your desk.

The things patients say.

Heard this recently. Like, okay that was all wrong but I’m following you. You’re currently taking one 325mg aspirin QD despite being recommended to only take one 81mg aspirin QD. This is because when you were selecting the aspirin to take, you saw that that there was also a 325mg dose right next to the 81mg doses. You, being the intelligent person that you are, thought to yourself that 325mg is more mg than 81mg and so it must be better. What does that doctor know anyway?

If a pharmacist manager is supposed to take all the responsibility (even if they're not working that day), how come the pharmacist manager blames everything on me all the time?

I'm literally only an intern. I'm not a registered pharmacist yet.

I've noticed that if i do a mistake, i get told off (rightfully). But if an actual pharmacist makes a mistake and I'm involved, I get told off. If a pharmacist makes a mistake and I'm not involved, no one gets told off.

The pharmacist manager is just taking out their stress on me, right? Because deep down, the pharmacist manager would know that in a court of law, everything that happens in the pharmacy is their fault and they can only try to convince the judge that it's the intern's fault.

In any case, I don't want to work here any longer.

The other pharmacists dont have anything to worry about, because the pharmacist manager never blames them.

But I get blamed all the time, so I should leave before things get worse. Because the manager has shown me time and time again that he will not hesitate to throw me under the bus.

I see job ads for rural pharmacist manager positions that say "newly registered pharmacists welcome". Would it be a bad idea for newly registered pharmacists to take this position?

I reckon it's hard for rural pharmacies to hire and retain pharmacists. So that's why they mention in their job ad that newly registered pharmacists are welcome.

But wouldn't a newly registered pharmacist struggle in a pharmacist manager position, because you need to manage a rural pharmacy.

The salary is good, but is it a bad idea?

The responsibility would be high.
