   ApotheKitty replied to MamaNanii's topic in General Students

   I'm a recent graduate of similar age, so I'm imagining myself in the OP's position. Yes, life definitely happens, but that's not your professor's problem. It happens to everyone, not just just the OP, so I feel there should be no expectation of speci...

2. Pharm tech access to medical records

   ApotheKitty replied to Eschell2971's topic in Activism

   Are you sure the meds that are sent back to the pharmacy unopened are wasted or discarded? I'm currently an RN student, but I was a Certified Pharmacy Technician for 9 years until this semester, most recently at a state run residential facility for...
