A Job As A Pharmacist

I have graciously been given the opportunity to broaden my horizons and learn a variety of practices in the pharmaceutical environment. Since the October of 2017 I have been employed at Hoey Apothecary under the care and teaching of many pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. At Hoey Apothecary I work as a pharmacy assistant, and only because of the Youth Apprenticeship Program that Monona Grove High School has offered to it’s students.

My strongest impetus for the study of this major is pegged on the personal urge to improve the lives and health of those around me. I would only be able to serve the health of others when I am fully acquainted with the knowledge of pharmacy, which to me is one of the noblest professions. I am deeply concerned about the welfare of others. My experiences, especially as I visit hospitals form a significant part in influencing my choice to study pharmacy.

During my rotation, I noted that nearly everyone admitted into hospital have an acute condition that justifies the admission.

Also, in the hospital a doctor or nurse is not hesitant to contact a pharmacist when they need advice and pharmacists are accessible.

I learn to work the computer system not unlike training a seal to play a horn. Being behind the counter is much less confusing and cognitively intensive than learning all the jargon necessary to stand next to the white lab coats. I assimilate to the layout of the small, yet cozy pharmacy, and begin to feel comfortable with my change in scenery. Just as this positive feeling approaches me, it’s ripped away before I can fully enjoy it due to a new, arduous task that is introduced to my now spinning head. Now there’s nothing left to do except for the pharmacist to run out of new tasks to give me so that my head can have a rest from its
