There is shorthand you can use that automatically turns into a SIG when typed. Take 2 capsules by mouth twice a day? Just type 2C;PO;BID and it will become that. I'm sure you could Google a cheat sheet. As for the drugs, a lot of it just comes with experience. I am fairly new myself, so I still get hung up on a few, but I just ask someone else to clarify. It seems daunting, but it is actually pretty idiot-proof once you get into it. With the consultation thing, I just make it a habit to ask patients if they have questions or if this medication is new. It seems like half the time there is an automated prompt, it's just a new prescription for a drug someone has been taking for years. My pharmacists do a pretty good of indicating on the script if they have things they want to talk to the patient about. The thing hanging me up right now is insurance. Learning how to properly enter that info and work out issues requires a lot of trial and error and shaking your fist at insurance companies for being difficult. Actually, I haven't gotten drop off training. The Lead Tech doesn't want me doing drop off or anything with the system at all right now, the pharmacists will tell me to do something with the system, watch my fumble around for a bit and then take over. If I'm lucky they may explain part of the process, but usually it's "Here, I got this. Get pick-up/drive-through". And last but not least, another tech there I thought would help me out has largely been insulting. So yeah, no real training on drop off. --- Eternal Gust: Now a Social Board. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1079-eternal-gust <cite>gadgaurd posted [p:876634112] in Any Pharma...
