I''ve known your addy for a long time.! So what are you doing career wise? Jeanetta Hi Jeanetta, All I can say is WORK WORK WORK ............UGH UGH UGH! I do find time to read the newsgroup digests - even if it is not on the day it arrives. I try to read the e-pharm alerts, etc and have all my CE's done for the next 1 and 1/2 years until renewal time! I like to read new info and learn, what can I say! I am still working part time for CVS. Was floating as a tech for a while. I found that's great to do for awhile! You get to visit many stores and see which ones you really like and which you want to avoid. Everyone always needs help it seems. Unfortunately I got called ALL the time and ended up working 40 hrs each week. I really only wanted 20-30, but I couldn't say no when then called for help, so off to work I'd go. Now I have a home store and work an average of 20-30 hrs per week. Of course we were down 2 techs this week - one in nursing school hospital classes and one off sick. Though I would collapse last week.....whew! This week hasn't been great either - now another tech is off sick but the 1st one returned. So basically the pharmacist and 1 tech for 8 hrs overlapping partially with another tech for 8 hrs to cover the 14 hr day. It's a long day. Average scripts per week is 350-400. I like hard work, but this is crazy! Thankfully I only work 16 hrs next week if everyone is healthy and comes in!! Been also dealing with Mom with Alzheimers an getting her moved here from FL and into a nursing home. Also my 25 yr daughter has been off work for 10 months with some " rare disease " which they are yet to diagnose. They have been looking at rare auto immune type things, but now came up with something called familial Mediterranean fever. The weird thing is our family does not fit the profile for this disease! Trying to get into Mayo clinic for more investigation and diagnosis hopefully. Take care, Lynn PS - loved the Pharmacology Review Questions tutorial !
