Life in the Pharmacy

I have been working in Wal-Mart pharmacy for a tiny bit over a year now and it is very different from the first pharmacy that I worked in a few years ago. I spend my days on my feet for 8 hours each day. I use a computer to accept new prescriptions, and to type them in so the pharmacist can make sure I put it in correctly. Then the process of filling the prescription comes next. We use handhelds to scan the correct bottle and then count the pills out. The pharmacist then checks our work to make sure we did grab the correct medication.
I also talk with people on the phone and put hard copies of the prescriptions away in files. The hardest part for me is being on my feet for that long each day--40 hours in a work week. I am glad to be a technician. In fact the good news is that I took the National pharmacy techician test at the begining of the month and I passed it. So now I am a nationally certified Pharmacy Technician. Horray for me!!!
Lately I have been thinking about going back to school to become a pharmacist. The hard part is choosing a school to go to and being able to work while I attend school. We will see what happens in the near future.

Anything is possible

The reason for the title of this post is very simple. I have spent the last month studying to take the national test for pharmacy technician. The national test will allow me work at any pharmacy in the United States. I took the test on May 6th and passed it. The score for passing ranges from 650 to 900 and I won't have my offical score until the 21st. I did all I could and then allowed God to help me know what to do.
With God all things are possible!!!! Hearts can heal but not always in the time that we want it too. Sometimes we want to go a lot faster than we need to to heal. God knows better than we do and even when it is hard He will be right there with us. I hope Mother's day is all that each of you want it to be. Mother's deserve the very best.
