Did anyone learn meaningful ways to deal with stress during the pandemic? Sometimes I feel like I have mild PTSD from how intense everything was. People would not believe the things that pharmacists have had to endure the past few years, really

9 more weeks of lockdown, at least. How are you all holding up? It’s not easy.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

How long after a failed transfer does your stomach and body feel like it’s back to normal? It’s been a little over a week since I got the news that my transfer a few weeks ago didn’t work. But my stomach is still so pooched out and looks pregnant that it makes me cry knowing that’s not the case. Trying to eat clean, tons of long walks, but still feel really bloated and gross.

Do you all sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the self care tips you see online. Gua sha, sleeping mask, satin pillowcase, this body wash, that scrub, dermaplaning. I don’t know what I should do vs. what not. 😰 and I feel like if I don’t do it, I’m not taking care of myself and not going to look good a few years later. 😓

Hi guys

Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid .

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

Hi all!

I'm a UK pharmacist hoping to qualify and work in the US. Is it still worth doing or any tips in general? I've read on Reddit there's a surplus of Pharmacists in the US. What are your views on that?

Thanks!

Is it worth it to exit for pharma sales? I know some people have made the switch. The money is tempting but I can't help wondering if it's just a "grass is greener" situation

Do you think it's better to work hard and wait for a promotion based on your skills or to actively ask for and pursue a promotion?

Anyone care to share personal experience with the hiring process for Kaiser Permanente? Applied early October, completed Career Snapshot, and status has read “Talent Acquisition review in progress” for a couple weeks now. From their webpage, it sounds like the talent review is a lengthy process.
I’m curious to read how fellow pharmacist candidates herded through the process and the wait times between steps 👀

I am leaving retail pharmacy after 15 years. I am opening a 403b pharmacy for a FQHC. I don't believe that retail pharmacy will be able to sustain itself with patient costs skyrocketing. I think people will become enraged or indifferent enough to allow the federal government to take over healthcare. How many times do we see people getting free prescriptions via government coverage that drive better cars than we do?

I’m a pharmacist thinking to transition to the inpatient setting after being in the outpatient setting. Just wondering if the grass is really greener on the other side. I read on Reddit that a lot of hospital pharmacists are getting burnt out and that many hospitals also have a high turn over rate

Do you think it is time to find another job when your PIC is a micro manager, never trained you when you got hired, expects you to know things no one ever told you about in the first place, texts and calls you in the morning with questions you don’t have an answer to (I work evening shift so I’m mostly sleep when he reaches out), assumes the worst about everything, plots against you anyway, lies all the time, they don’t even do their job, they leave their trash behind etc. gives me anxiety.

Hi! I currently work at a hospital as a per diem pharmacist and have been there for over 12 years. We haven’t had a raise in over 6 years. I am going to talk to my boss soon to ask for a raise. I was wondering what other pharmacists make in the Philadelphia area so I know how much I should ask for. Thank you!

Today i was informed there is a national shortage of techs! Are any of your workplaces experiencing issues hiring pharmacy techs?

I'm a relatively new pharmacist and it's hard seeing so much negative feedback about this career path. Does anyone here have sage words of wisdom or actually genuinely enjoy what they do anymore?

Any pharmacist here transition from hospital to an MSL career? What does an MSL position pay for a pharmacist? Any tips on making the transition?

Anyone worked at NIH through a government contractor at NIAID? What’s the quality of life like? The pay?

Am I the only one that feels like we should have our student loans forgiven? (And I used to be adamantly opposed to ANY student loan forgiveness)
Our salaries continue to DECREASE as cost of living increases (not just “no raises”…decrease!…I realize I’m preaching to the choir haha). I can barely (and by “barely” I mean “can’t” TBH) make bills, pay for kids activities, etc (also a single mom of 3, for more context) LET ALONE pay my loans…
How do we start that movement?…
Who’s with me?! 🤷🏻‍♀️😜

Those of you that have left retail, what would it take for you to go back? I’m hearing about 50k sign on bonuses at the corner locally (up from 20/25k in February). I’ve been unemployed/underemployed for over a year and am still holding out for anything else.

Anyone know of any work from home pharmacy jobs?
