yeah, so, that deadly 36-car pileup on 390 yesterday? yeah. most of them are my patients. thanks, trauma unit. there's two broken spines, one massive thoracic trauma, one moderate internal injuries, and one with a wicked head injury who's being kept in a medically induced coma

Are you a nurse? I'm in my senior year of nursing school. :)

no, i'm a certified pharmacy technician - at the hospital i work at, there's one technician to manage each floor - i'm the liason between nursing and pharmacy, i watch MARs like a hawk to make sure there's no errors or therapy duplications or bad mixes, and make sure all my patients get their meds as quickly and safely as possible. on my floor i've got 5 units - oncology, oncology/hematology, acute medicine (total catch-all grab bag of everything that doesn't fit in anywhere else.. right now it's a lot of pnuemonia and sickle cell), solid organ transplant, and a trauma unit. it's a blast!

Awesome. I loove pharmacology. I work as a nurse tech right now on a IMC and tele unit and pharmacy techs are suuuch a great asset. :)

thanks! i know my nurses appreciate me, but i don't think anyone really has any idea of what pharm techs really do.

which hospital do you work at - Strong? I'm hoping to get a job there once I get a few things figured out.

yeah, i'm at strong - i love it! although i have friends that work at both rochester general and park ridge and i don't ever hear complaints from them, either.
