Today was my last day working with the CVS Pharmacy staff. They have all been so sweet and helpful and made my experience there really worth-while! They even got me a present today filled with little gifts and a balloon! They were all so wonderful in helping me when I was struggling to find a drug, or to load information at drop-off, or filling prescriptions. On my last day, I was filling prescriptions with ease and talking to Vu about what school he went to which was Xavier University in New Orleans. He studied in the College of Pharmacy for six years and we talked about how it now takes seven years for a student to receive the professional degree of Doctor of Pharmacy, or Pharm.D degree, to become a licensed pharmacist instead of six years like when he was in college. We also discussed the cost of schooling for six years was only possible for Vu through scholarships and financial aid and knowing that it is going to take seven years of schooling for myself is still quite daunting for me to think about. He assured me that the schooling was harder to go through than the job is and that it would be worth it in the end. Today, Vu also offered me a job as a pharm tech trainee where I would get on-the-job training at the CVS Pharmacy and I have already applied online through CVS in hopes of starting very soon!
