I visited Walgreens today because I wanted to print out some of my pictures, and also I wanted to buy a digital camera for my mom. I choose Walgreens because it is one of the best company in photos and in the selling of digital cameras. My experience in using interactive tools, and digital displays was very interesting.

Thank you Lord! I am very grateful to be able to successfully finish my third rotation at Walgreens pharmacy in Wellington, FL. My preceptor was Dr. Andrew Guvetis, a graduate from Nova Southern University and he has been working with Walgreens for a little over 2 years. During the first day, I noticed that this Walgreens was somewhat different from the others. It was designed like a wellness clinic where the pharmacist can spend some time during the day sitting on a desk right outside the pharmacy check-out counter and be accessible to answer any questions patients may have. It also had a big consultation room with comfy seating, a table including a sink and counter where a pharmacist can prepare immunizations or perform several screening tests. Walgreens offers health tests every day which help determine possible risks for heart disease or are looking for convenient ways to manage diabetes or high blood pressure. Some of the services offered include: cholesterol and blood pressure tests, body composition test and a comprehensive medication review. Test results are provided within minutes and it includes a pharmacist consultation as well.

CVS's retail pharmacy operations are functioning poorly and dissatisfying customers. Many customers are defecting as a result. A pharmacy service improvement team has documented the current prescription fulfillment process, its exception rates, and the problems generated by exceptions. The company must now decide how to change this process, and what information system changes to make in support of the redesigned process.

Walgreens pharmacists are beginning to play a greater role in health care than ever before. In addition to offering pharmacy services, Walgreens provides convenient access to important health services such as health tests and immunizations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I have worked at Walgreens as a pharmacist technician, but never had an experience working in a hospital pharmacy before. During my rotation, I noted that nearly everyone admitted into hospital have an acute condition that justifies the admission. The conditions also tend to be more severe or unusual, which leads to a greater variety of medicines being used. Also, in the hospital a doctor or nurse is not hesitant to contact a pharmacist when they need advice and pharmacists are accessible.

A teenage girl drove into a Walgreen's parking lot and went into Walgreen's. She casually shopped in the store like a teenager would and once she was done shopping she checked out at the register. When she received her bags she exited Walgreen's and walked across the parking lot to her car and once she went to get into her car a person came up behind her and put her in the car and the criminal drove off with her and her car. Law enforcement used the surveillance that Walgreen's had. The surveillance showed that when the teenage girl drove into Walgreen's parking lot that a blue F-150 pulled in behind her and parked in the parking lot. Additionally, it showed the man casually walking into Walgreen's and once the teenage girl walked into Walgreen's

Working at Walgreens has taught me a lot about people. I do many different jobs like stocking shelves, working at the cash register or cleaning. My favorite part of my job is when I get to talk to customers. I have always been a shy, quiet, awkward kid. It's been hard for me to talk to people, especially strangers. I used to have preset phrases that sounded robotics and mechanical. If someone asked how I was, I would always respond with “I am doing well, how are you?” regardless of how I actually felt. These phrases guaranteed a short “good, thanks.” back and conversations ended abruptly. Once I started working at Walgreens, I began to get better at social interactions. I can now say a quick joke or just listen to people’s problems that

The initial intent of this analysis was to identify changes in accounting methods within the financial statements of Walgreens and CVS Caremark, as well as to compare and contrast their financial statements, in order to draw conclusions about which company had also have better earnings. However, in the process of this analysis, with the exception of a minor change to lease accounting by Walgreens, there were no major changes in accounting methods identified. In examining the financial statements for these two drugstore industry leaders, the analysis shows that while each company conducts retail drugstore operations in similar ways, their business models for carrying out these operations greatly vary. These variances in

Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, there are a few things that says Brooklyn. Heading to the park for a game of basketball with the kids in the summer, running through the sprinklers at the park, visiting the Brooklyn's Children Museum and even going for a ride on the Cyclone at Coney Island. However, when it comes to getting the necessities we need when we're not feeling well, one pharmacy has always stood out and that's been CVS. There seemed to be a CVS pharmacy within walking distance of wherever you are, which made me believe that their acronym truly did stand for Convenience, Value & Service. We however moved to the beautiful state of Colorado four years ago and the one thing that stood out to me here was that there was NO CVS to be found, so I was pretty excited when I got the news that CVS was finally making it's way to the Western US and Colorado was included on

As a small electronics retailer competing against Walmart, I would clarify my target customers, streamline the number of products I sell, and expand the types of services I provide my target customers. To begin with, I would conduct a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis to ensure I have made a complete, thorough, and objective assessment of my business and the competitive landscape (Parnell, 2008). Secondly, I would identify, review, and analyze my sales history, existing client list, and subscribe to a reasonably priced, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) service that would assist in analyzing my past, current, and potential customer base (Solomon, Marshall & Stuart, 2012). Lastly, after reviewing the CRM
