How much time do you spend with data entry and counting prescriptions vs being up front checking people out or doing drive thru? I think the more time you spend typing in the prescriptions the faster you learn what they are for and the generic/brand names. A lot of times they will say as needed for pain or as needed for insomnia and you'll slowly link the drugs to what they are for and what they cost, if most insurances cover them, if they commonly have to get PA's... That stuff. Once you move to counting the drugs a lot just pay attention to what the computer says it is. Most systems show the brand /generics on the screen as you scan the drugs out and count them. If you see one you don't know, just casually ask the pharmacist if they aren't busy. They'll usually know right away, and it's a quick way to learn stuff. Seriously you have 6-8 years of school experience and however much work experience standing there with you, just ask them stuff about drugs if you get slow and need something to talk about. Don't be annoying obviously, but they are a great source of knowledge. I also like to read our weekly pharmacist letter and stay up to date on the new medicine. Like Adzenys. Wtf is that. Apparently orally dissolving Adderall. Wow. See if you don't stay up to date you'll never know what that stuff is for. I'm kinda rambling lol but ya if you have any questions let me know I'm happy to help out. I understand the struggle, but you'll get better over time. Don't let the annoying pharmacist get you down. Show her that you're eager to learn and maybe she will be more instructive and less bitchy, ya feel?
