"I completed my apprenticeship in the hospital pharmacy. During my shift, I would deliver medications to nursing stations and make sure carts were adequately supplied with medications. I would also manage the inventory of automated dispensing machines and assist with monitoring the diversion of controlled substances. In reviewing the job description, I have experience in each of the areas mentioned and feel I could hit the ground running."

"I currently work in a community pharmacy, so my day is usually very busy and I'm multitasking to complete different priorities. I typically answer the phones, enter in new prescription requests, work the pick-up window and sometimes handle the check-out process. Throughout the day, I'm also assisting customers with questions, updating patient information in the computer, follow-up with general practitioner offices to gather information and process prescriptions."
