What are your hobbies?

Being in pharmacy school has really left me little time for the hobbies and activities I love. For example, I love makeup, clothing, dressing up, doing my hair, etc... definitely will be spending my holiday break doing more of these! What are some hobbies you wish you had more time to do?

In the Midst of the War on Words, All I Did Was Listen

All throughout the years, I’ve learned a lot of things not only with pharmacy but a lot about psychology. I feel like I’m doing an internship for my psychology course, way back, because all I do in my four years of stay here in this institution is understand each people in this department.

I’ve learned how and why these people act the way they do. These people came from different places and were raised in different ways.

And because of that I respect and forgive their acts.

I’m not coming off clean and saying that these kind of bad attitudes should be tolerated. But maybe there should be a little bit of softness when it comes to reprimanding someone.

Maybe when one has something to comment about a person’s attitude, they should tell it to their face and not to others who are not involved.

Because that would be really unprofessional.

For I live by the principle that “when you have nothing good to say, just shut up.”

We are all humans and we all make mistakes. If a person is bad yesterday, that doesn’t mean he’ll be bad tomorrow or stay being bad forever.  One should not define a person by the wrong doings he/she made in his life. It’s the 21st century folks and everything is changing!

For change is the only constant thing in this world.

And there are two sides of a coin.

This is only the other side.

Not my normal type of convention, but in Las Vegas for ASAP Midyear to look at children's hospital residencies from across the country! Sorry there hasn't been much with cosplay of late, but I'm having fun with vintage professional for these few days :) #vintage #ashpmidyear #studentpharmacist #vintagedress (at Las Vegas Strip)

The struggle is so real

August Rotation - Advanced Hospital (@ Mission Hospital)

I started my Advanced Hospital rotation this week. This rotation essentially exposes us to the inter-workings of the hospital, and allows us to learn about most of the roles of a pharmacist in the hospital. I say most only because there are so many areas that a pharmacist can work in, and we simply don’t have enough time to see it all! Most of this rotation is the “non-patient care” part of pharmacy – not to say we aren’t taking care of patients, but we have less face time with patients, and it’s more of the background work. Some of my experiences include kinetics dosing, core pharmacy, metabolic support, cancer center, pharmacy informatics, management, operating room, emergency department and off-site filling facility. Some other experiences that are offered on this rotation that I will not be doing is pediatrics (I have a rotation in this in March, I’m SO excited!), pharmacogenomics, psychology, etc. My preceptor’s name is Jordan. She got her PharmD at UNC, and did her Residency at Mission Hospital!

My first day was awesome! I think part of it was finally doing something real. Not to say my past three months have been a waste, but I haven’t truly put my pharmacy knowledge into good use. I’m spending the first two weeks in the CTC, where I’ll be doing pharmacokinetics dosing. The last two and a half weeks I’ll spend on those mini-rotations.

Pharmacokinetics. What is it? It’s “the clinical application of the principles of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion to the safe and effective therapeutic management of drugs in an individual patient.” We use patient characteristics (such as age, weight, and lab values) to calculate personalized doses for patients. I’m focusing on dosing aminoglycosides (a class of antibiotics), vancomycin (an antibiotic), warfarin (anticoagulant aka blood thinner), phenytoin (a seizure medication), vitamin D, and occasionally adjusting medications based a patient’s renal function (how well the kidney is doing!). A lot of times doctors will prescribe these medications, and will call in pharmacy to “consult” on them. Then we’ll calculate a dose if it’s a new start, or adjust based on changes if the patient has been on the medication. See, there’s more to a pharmacist than what most people think! We’re doing some hard work in the background :P See above for an example of what some of my notes look like while calculating doses.
