I am working at my favorite pharmacy! I love each one of the 6 Pharm Techs and the 4 pharmacists! It has been a great couple of weeks. I am not used to working so hard. The pharmacies that I worked in during my time in Ogden were not as busy and this one! It has been so fun talking to the life-long patients. It is so great to see a few patients who were on their 'way out' waiting for organ transplants and received them. They look so healthy and strong compared to the last time I saw them! It is such a great feeling to be working in the health professions!
One drawback to the health profession is that people feel they must share everything with you. I have heard some 'hum dingers' in my time at the pharmacy. The latest was a male patient who was getting some Viagra and I guess he was a nervous talker because he would NOT shut up about the methods his girlfriend used before resorting to the little blue pill....man I could have lived a thousand lifetimes without that kind of info! I will forever look at him as the man with a problem I know too much about! I am not sure what compels people to express such private matters to their health care providers but they do. Sometimes I wonder how much worse it is to be a nurse or doctor. I am sure they have heard it all! and I do mean ALL! I am honored to be working in the health care field. I chuckle at night at the great and not-so-great stories of other people!
For all of my fans (ha ha ha) I wanted to let you know I was offered a job yesterday. As soon as my license gets here I will be able to start working a few days a week. The office I am going to start in has 3 dentists and 2 part time hygienists all in an office with 8 operatories. So there is not a chair available for me to use full time yet. They have a new office under construction that will accommodate me full time in a few months. I am excited for this opportunity to start off slow, working my way up to full time. I have a few weeks until I am able to work hygiene and so I feel some road trips coming up--now that I am rich with my $0.60 raise I got in the pharmacy ha ha ha!

Yeah! So excited for you!! Little bummed you will have a job, so Boise will not be needed!! :( I love ya anyways and am so excited for ya! How much time do you get for a prophy?? SCL/RP?? Can't wait to hear all about your first day! You will be amazing!! Did everyone pass clinicals??
Yeehaw!! Congrats on the job! That is so great! I'm very happy for you! So, where are you planning your road-trips?
Totally awesome congrats on getting a job. I seriously can't even think about an interview right now! I seriously wonder how I'm going to do it! I'm assuming you just take a lot of stuff we do at school and just throw it out the window...but how do you decide what to throw out, besides the nasty scale checks. Anyhow, I'm really happy for you!
P.S. Where is the new location?
Mary Ann
your email reminded me that I haven't blogged lately or checked bloggs lately so thanks for that small reminder!!
That will be so great to be working with other hygienists because then if you have any questions you have an older, wiser RDH there for ya!!! That is so crazy that people tell health care workers so much detail about everything. I haven't had the privaledge of that yet!!! But I am sure it will come!!! I just watched Pride and Prejudice the movie. i love that movie so much!! It is so romantic and I wish that life was still like that where all that people were concerned about is going to balls and going to visit people. Oh well!!! Thanks for emailing me!!
keep in touch!
Mary Ann, first congrats on you big raise! Makes it almost dang(I am trying to watch my language as my baby can hear me in the womb) near worth it to have gone through hygiene school:) That is exciting that you are going to be working in such a great office, best of luck! I on the other hand am taking my merry time to get my licence as I need to visit the restroom about every 10 minutes until this baby comes! You are such an inspiration to me and I hope you continue on blogging so I can find you!
