Week One at PMH

My first week at PMH went really well. It was a pretty slow week because the clinics are currently closed for the holidays and lots of staff are on vacation. I picked a good week to start because it was a super short three day week. Tomorrow will be the first time that I've ever had a paid day off and I'm really looking forward to it.

The department seems really nice. There are 52 staff so it's pretty big for a pharmacy department I think. The intern from last year has been hired on so right now he's my mentor. I'm in the main dispensary at the moment so I get to see some of everything. They're using some terrible software on the dispensing computers so it's been slow going this week. Apparently the department is getting new software in a couple months so as soon as I get the hang of this one I'll have to learn a whole new system.

This week I did a lot of compounding which was nice. One of the compounds was a diazoxide suspension took forever to make because it involved opening 200 indivudial capsules to get enough drug.

Updates

I'm going to try to post more frequently starting today. Lots of exciting things have happened in the past couple months and I just haven't had time to post. The wedding was amazing and the honeymoon was even better.

I'm scheduled to start at PMH this Tuesday. I'm sure that'll give me some blog worthy content.

I just updated the "blogs I Endorse" section.

Danielle and I are going on a picnic later today. It's been super hot in Perth the last couple days - 34*C today.

Happy Holidays

UofA sent out this holiday greeting. I think it's a great photo.
