You wake me when I can no longer snooze Especially after a night of too much booze I can’t explain what you to do to me All I know is without you, I’m unhappy No really, sometimes I get very moody In that way that’s more intimidating than Judge Judy But then, I find a…

Despite what some people think, the point of the “99%” is not a bunch of people bitching about their personal situation on a Tumblr account (or at least it’s not supposed to be). Just as people should be held accountable for depending on welfare while being lazy, living above their means, or taking out way…

I had my first day as an intern at my IPPE site, which is an independent pharmacy about 30 minutes away on the freeway, which is only a little longer than my commute to work was in Dallas. I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially having never worked in a community setting before. It also…

Many jobs have been replaced by machines and robots, but are pharmacists next? This article from Slate magazine would have to believe so, but this goes back to the perception that all we do is count pills.

I was reading a thread in a pharmacy forum where the original poster complained about being disrespected by some non-pharmacy coworkers. The first thing that comes to my mind is, “Do they act in a way the warrants respecting?” Pharmacists have a very respectable title on their own (don’t get me wrong), but a title…

This article reminded me of a video I just watched in class about pharmacy robberies. In that video, we were instructed to just give the robber what he or she demanded. I have no problem with that. I understand that it’s just a bunch of pills that can be replaced. However, most robbers aren’t going…

One of the things I got involved with at school is the Student Ambassador program. Throughout the year, I have opportunities to go with fellow pharmacy students to various schools and speak to some prospective students about pharmacy, my school, the application process, etc. A main reason I’m doing it is because I don’t really…
