Had a visit from the MHWD about customers complaining that the pharmacy would not help them after it was closed. Also the MHWD said he wants us to help the people out- anything reasonable after close and the days we close for lunch we have to reopen by 2 no matter the time we go to lunch.

Does this sound normal to you?

There’s a group chat with the RPH and lead tech.
The RPH is constantly texting on the group chat about what did and didn’t get done the other day etc etc

The lead will text about issues like haz-wasting medications, what’s acceptable behavior and etc

I was under the assumption outside of work hours. They’re not supposed to be texting us about work related stuff??

Can I just leave the group chat?
I don’t want to be in some group chat where everyone is complaining and talking crap while I’m not at work.

Leave me alone!
Why am I in this group?
While the other intern isn’t ?

I recently got hired as a pharmacy tech at Walmart and I’ve only taken a pharmacy tech program, so I have no actual work experience. I’m kind of nervous 😭

For anyone who’s worked as a Walmart pharmacy tech, what are some tips/tricks that helped you when you first started?

Also, what are the pros and cons of working there, and is there anything you wish you knew before starting?Anything that made the job easier or helped you learn faster would be appreciated!

Got a pallet of boxes of meds from Blessings International. 6 or 7 brown boxes (look like Warehouse boxes) with only sharpie'd numbers on them and a FedEx QR code. They are investigating how it got to us, it has our address on it. Did anyone else get a shipment from them? Like seriously, why us? We didn't order this, what the hell 😭 the world just loves to torture my store specifically. We don't have the space for their crap! Like take it back while they are investigating!

I’m a part-time tech that barely received any training. I’m curious about the prescriptions that are $0.00. I’ve seen my coworkers not scan them and just hand them to the patient. Is that what we are supposed to do? Or is that just a work around waiting on the papers to print and scanning the barcode?

Did anyone notice a small raise in hourly pay ? I noticed a change

I had an older lady call and tell me she got the wrong medication so I pulled up her profile and looked at her losartan and explained she got the same one as she normally did. She then explained to me that this was losartan potassium and she is supposed to get just losartan. Typically she gets an amber vial, but someone took multiple of the small losartan 50 mg bottles and put them in a large amber vial (which I hate soooo much).
She tells me that the previous label says losartan and the current label says losartan, but the bottle says losartan potassium so there’s a mistake. I tried to explain that just losartan does not exist, that’s just the full name of the medication and she yells at me that I’m wrong. Conversation went on for about 5 minutes and it was going no where, at this point it was 7:02 pm and I hung up knowing she couldn’t call back.
Now I can’t look at losartan without thinking about it. I’ll annoy my coworkers by saying “do we have some potassium without this losartan in it?”

Why is the pharmacy manager’s full name on display. It’s not a state law. I really am not comfortable with this.

Is anyone else in agreement??

Hi guys... i found out that i failed TX MPJE twice. I'm looking for advice on what are the options. I think my offer the job was I need to be licensed within 3 months after graduation. And I think after this second attempt my TX internship will be expired... idk what to do

Please let me know if anyone was in the same shoes...and how did you get through it.

long story short, i work at walmart in opd and recently applied the other day to be an apprentice in the pharmacy, but when i look at my applications and their status, it claims my pharmacy one is an application for digital pickup. not sure if it's some sort of glitch, or what

I question that I have is do yall ring up patients groceries when they ask. My pharmacy manger insists that we do it when asked but I just had a patient get upset and yell at me because we couldn't ring up produce due to not having a scale.

has anyone checked theirs? does it seem to be pretty accurate since we are about midpoint in the year?

I’m a RPh in CA and recently changed my legal name. All of my work apps have been updated except WFS, which is still showing my old name.

Does anyone know who I should contact to get it updated?🙏

I didn’t know when you’re choosing a NDC in f9 it tells you the non preferred(NP) and warehouse preferred(WP) I know it’s not hack per se but a speculation that I never noticed after 8 years.

Like a rejection of insurance for invalid zip code you go into the profile you delete the second part of the zip code i.e. (11111-2222) and it’ll go through

I also have been utilizing AI (which pains me) to find OTC NDCs that are covered by their Medicaid plan with a lot of success

Or like changing the dispense qty so it goes back to 4pt and then can type in the drug field that isn’t greyed out anymore

Hey, my manager said that when I come back to Georgia and just need a few hours, I can work at either any Walmart or Sam’s Club. How does that work? Working at Sam’s Club, any difference, or is it as easy as throwing me on the schedule?

Fairly certain when I was hired, I was told they are required to pay a minimum of 4 hours if scheduled less than 4 hours and they could not have us come in for small shifts. But that was almost 15 years ago. Our store is now making us come in for a 1 hour meeting every month after closing on Saturdays. Some of us live almost an hour away and are being expected to drive 2 hours total for a 1 hour meeting monthly, isn't this against policy or does walmart not restrict that anymore?

The manager refuses to actually put it on the schedule. He said if we don't show up we will be coached, even though it isn't officially scheduled.

This is specifically for staff rphs

Has your schedule been changed, I mean, template? For those who work 72h, my HW director added a 4 h shift, thereby adding another day in order to meet base. So, I’m working 8 days per pay period.

Is this something implemented by HW directors nationwide? Can they do that?

what is the typical hourly rate of an rxm based on 80 hours
I know it’ll be different based on locations and volume Just trying to see if I am low balled
$82.50
