I'm Crine

Hi everyone, I recently started my externship hours at Walgreens and it has been 5 days so far. To be quite honest in school we were told how overwhelming retail pharmacy is, and being there so far has shown that was an understatement. My schooling was 6 months and was over laws, sigs, drug names etc but honestly lacked in real world training which yes I know is what externship is for. However, I just feel so slow and lost so far that it is making me question myself a lot. Ive been trying to write stuff down as I was told a notebook is helpful when starting, and I have been paying attention to my other techs advice but I still feel like I am not doing enough. The people training me are pati...

I am a recent Doctor of Pharmacy graduate and community pharmacist. I am currently working for Walgreens as a floater pharmacist for about 1 year while I figure out next steps career wise. Some Background: During pharmacy school, I always had a passion for learning the role of medical writing, scientific literature, and evidence-based medicine in facilitating patient care. I did one group poster during my final year of pharmacy school and published on Pharmacy Times after I graduated. My initial career path after graduation was that I matched into a residency program out of state but I did not complete the program due to not passing the MPJE for that state on time. I eventually passed my ...

HELP PLEASE!!! I recently applied for a Pharmacy Technician/Apprenticeship at Walgreens. A couple of days later, I received a call from this location asking me when I'd be available for an interview. I went in for an interview the following day, and on my way home, I received an offer letter. Upon accepting this offer, I was sent an email stating that I had to call the store to schedule my drug test within 48 hours. I called and scheduled the drug test for the following day and was told I'd receive forms to fill out by the following Monday, along with a call from the hiring manager. Fast forward a week has passed since the drug test and still no call, I took it upon myself to call ...

So I’m filling a claim against a Walgreens pharmacist/pharmacy manager. First, for two med errors- one where 30 benzos were missing from my bottle where the qty was circled and initialed. Next week, 6 of my antidepressants were missing and the qty, which was only 30 to begin with, was also circled and initialed. Theres no part of me that thinks she was attempting to steal from me…however, Im a nurse and years ago a colleague and supposed very close friend of mine, stole a lot of narcotics from the Pyxis under my name. That being said, anything is possible but anyway…this pharmacist has made going to pick up meds so uncomfortable because, frankly speaking, she treats me like a junkie. I...

UPDATE: TLDR; **dump the chain pharmacies if they're treating you badly**. Don't restrict yourself like I was. I sent my prescription to Walgreens and began to experience the same purgatory of having a pharmacy technician tell me "we'll have it in stock tomorrow" for days at a time. In the past I allowed myself to be strung along for 2 weeks this way so I knew I couldn't trust them. I wound up calling a pharmacy located inside a high-end grocery store and couldn't believe how nice the person was. I could tell it wasn't crazy busy because she wasn't rushing me off the phone, and was incredibly open to talking about what generics they h...

Two people mentioned in the comments they would like to know how to order from Walgreens. I had screenshots of what information I have saved but could only put one image per comment so I'm creating a new post and it may help others. I've seen some people saying Walgreens does not have lactated ringers anymore or can't order them. I can't speak to that right now as I haven't ordered in awhile. But hearing how others had problems even getting a pharmacy to help I don't know if they are saying the fluids just can't be ordered because they don't know how. I'm including various screenshots I've saved. My apologies if they are not in a good o...

Insurance stopped paying for Nurtec for some reason. I’m so mad as I’ve tried other rescue meds and this is the only one that helps. Thank god they still cover my Botox.

I’m in Florida. I’ve spent about 6 months trying to get a Vyvanse prescription. I had to see 5 providers before I found one willing to prescribe it. Well turns out the local pharmacies, Walgreens, Publix and CVS will not fill a stimulant unless the doctor is within 20 miles of the pharmacy. There aren’t any local doctors or clinics that will prescribe stimulants. I called my insurance company and they can’t mail schedule 2 drugs. I’m just stuck. What do I do to get this prescription? I’ve spent over $3000 between appointments, “intake assessments”, 2 EKG (because different docs required different tests), bloodwork, etc. I feel so defeated

We lost my stepmother this morning. After getting my father back to his place, he wanted to do the responsible thing and safely dispose of her medications. He’s a senior who recently sold his home and moved into a Frisco apartment. Here’s the "bureaucratic wall" we hit: Frisco disqualifies residents from dropping off medications if they don’t have a current Frisco driver’s license. Before the "just change it online" comments start...he is 1/2 Comanche and 1/2 Kiowa. He is over 70 and navigating the nightmare of getting a Real ID, which required a certified birth certificate that took over two years to secure. Because of his age, he also has to take a physical dr...

**Key takeaways** * Healthcare employment has exploded about 84% since 1996 and roughly 24% just since 2020, reaching a record \~18.4 million workers—by far the strongest long‑term job creator in the US economy. * This shift makes healthcare revenues and profits structurally less cyclical than many other sectors, giving well‑run healthcare companies and ETFs a long runway relative to weaker areas like manufacturing, which has shed about 27% of jobs over the same period. * For retail investors, the sweet spot is a mix of diversified healthcare ETFs plus leading stocks in services, insurers, med‑tech, and biopharma that align with demographic aging, chronic‑disease care, and technol...

I keep getting called out for not offering vaccines to each patient in line when I do register, but like why???? We are understaffed as is, and the line is usually 10-15 people from open to close. If people want vaccines they're going to ask for vaccines. I feel like it makes every interaction you have with a patient so transactional, even though I know to corporate they are all 100% transactional, but ending a positive patient interaction by trying to force vaccines on them is part of why so many patients **** Walgreens now. I understand financially why Walgreens is pushing them, but we can barely keep up with prescriptions as is. The vaccines people get this time of year are also not ...

This is my first year with FSBP insurance and recently I had a prescription refill denied by insurance. After calling I was told it was denied because it was a 30 day refill - any prescription that is for a regular reoccurring drug must be a 90 day refill. They said this was a change made back in 2018 to the plan. Apparently they have a two month grace period where they will fill the 30 day prescription but the third month triggers a block. I don’t remember seeing anything about that in the information packet I got when I signed up, anyone else who has FSBP insurance know where to look to see that requirement ? It wasn’t a huge problem - we have about a dozen prescriptions that had t...
