Congrats how was the road to becoming a pharmacist? I'm in the pre pharm program at my school, but I'm not so sure. Were you always sure of it that you wanted to become a pharmacist?

That's awesome, really inspirational too. I looked into Pharmacy earlier this year but I'm not so good at chemistry
Props for looking out for your mom too... I know a lot of people would splurge on something for themselves as soon as they made it, but you're giving back to your roots
Please do update this thread with job experiences, tips, etc.

im confused as to what pharmacists actually do...are they making pills in the back or just bottling drugs according to whats said on the label?

Congrats, you are now one of many pawns for the pharmaceutical industry.
Good job finishing up, though.

They don't make the pills, those are made at the pharmaceutical factories. I think they sort and issue prescriptions?

not really. i was always great at math, so initially I wanted to be an engineer in undergrad. But we all knew the job market around the mid-90s in regards to that, so I switched to pharmacy. It's a good job and people trust you a ton.

common misconception bro. We can do that, but we have techs for that. What we do at CVS or moreso in hospital environments is to make sure the right drug is being filled according to the prescription, make sure there are no drug interations (and if there are, we notify the doctor for drug changes or notify the patient), side effects, and a ton of patient counseling. I get around 30 questions a day from customers purely off of OTCs stuff and what is good and what they should buy. And you get a ton of questions on birth controls, and common things that people aren't really sure of, and we advise them on that.
But it's understandable that people think that's all we do.
