I am also currently working at Walgreens Pharmacy as a Tech which might hopefully help my resume' when applying. <br /><br />Is there any advise you can give me about pharmacy school?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817205780911729159.post-84898293536486942772009-02-01T20:22:00.000-05:002009-02-01T20:22:00.000-05:00Kudos to you, Mike.

I want my pharmacist to tell me about potential problems (e.g. Li and NSAIDs don't mix well). Although I despise Walgreens, they're a decent PBM - I can get 90 day fills at my local non-Walgreens pharmacy for the same copay as mail order, with no mail order hassles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817205780911729159.post-63281817912490765622009-01-28T16:43:00.000-05:002009-01-28T16:43:00.000-05:00Can I be your partner when I graduate??

However, I faced a similar decision a few years ago and came to the same place. I like my current job and I just couldn't give it up for the opportunity for future advancement. Happiness right now is worth a lot.

Maybe, sometime or another, it'll be time to rethink another opportunity, and things will be the same or changed. In any case, it's nice to know you've chosen to be that particular pharmacist right where you are!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
