Turbulance in the pharmacy job market, It's the economy stupid!
There is a press release from the APHA regarding a study of how the current economic crisis in this country is affecting all pharmacy practice settings. In general most pharmacies are finding that they are having to cut thier budgets which means cutting full time staff and hiring less, which in turn leads to asking pharmacists to do more work with less incentive to do so. And as we have also found out in the past, mistakes happen in pharmacy more often when people are put under pressure to fill scripts without much oversite and under extreme stress which is what happens when you have to cut staff and those remaining pharmacists have to the work of two people instead of one. There is a bright spot in the midst of the storm some pharmacists are being asked to take on leadership roles which may been out of reach before and some are going back to school for more education to help them in the future become more specialized.

ReplyDeleteMy older sister when to school to become a pharmacist. This is something that she has been wanting to do for awhile now and I am glad that she can finally do what she loves. I am really excited for her to continue to do this work. There is so much that she does and it is really exciting to hear about.

There's something to be said for not making assumptions about people, especially when you're dealing with medication. Asking questions and talking to people will help remove a lot of the inefficiencies in pharmacy work. That will help reduce stress and allow you to fill more prescriptions. Just food for thought.

Pharmacy market turned from a candidatedriven market into an employee-driven market. It is more important than ever before for students seeking a position in the current environment to stand out from the crowd. Sometimes pharmacy technicians are trained on the job but most pharmacies do prefer to hire certified pharmacy technicians.
