Clean Pharmacy Technicians Needed

May 27th, 2010 by admin

Every time I hear about a messed up thing like a pharmacy tech stealing pills or somehow changing a dosage for someone to get extra out of what has been prescribed I am saddened. This does not bode well for the industry, and just goes to show why it is a major responsibility to keep yourself free from any shame that might be brought upon you for not following the rules.

Just recently a pharmacy technician in Dutchess County which or to be more specific, the town of Dover was arrested for stealing pills from a CVS she was working at. She was most likely selling these to clients she had on the side of her job, but this is no excuse to become unprofessional about a job in which peoples lives are in the balance.

According to police, 21-year-old pharmacy technician Kaitlyn Cassidy was arrested because she was caught by police stealing well over 10,000 pills of hydrocodone. She will be charged with felony third-degree grand larceny, and will reappear in court around mid-June to receiver her sentence.

This is the very reason that we need good pharmacy technicians to get the job done right. This lady was a lead tech and still got herself in trouble. Honesty is the best policy.

The call has gone out in Houston Texas by several colleges that offer certifications to find those who are clean and will uphold the law. Texas pharmacy technician schools are plentiful in and around the Houston area, and if you have interest in attending this coming year we ask that you will please contact us so we can get you into a class that fits your needs.

Health Care Reform - What It Means

April 2nd, 2010 by admin

A lot of people have been talking about the changes that will go into effect with the new health care bill that was passed. In most cases this is not going to have a huge bearing on how things will change in the next few months, but it will cause many to wonder where they are left with health care from their jobs and the future cost for those who cannot afford health care because of a preexisting condition.

Currently the government is working on outlines for making the health care reform work as smoothly as possible, but many speculators say that the new program is doomed from the start. Especially in part because of having a small budget for the many millions of people with current health issues. If this money runs out then there is no money to fund health care which leaves the government in a worse situation with people unable to get the care they need.

For many who still feel that private health care is the best way, the options for them may seem less apparent. Illnesses and health issues for people across the USA seem to be undeniably great, and many are worried that the drastic changes from the government could cause more serious financial issues for everyone in the long run. As fragile as the economy is right now, many people are going back to school in order to get health care degrees in nursing. What happens when there are no funds to pay even these people because of the public heath care system running out of money?

All of that remains to be seen. Nothing is set in stone as of yet which leaves many feeling very uncertain about their future. What do you think will happen with the current health and economic situation> We would love to hear your comments.

A Trip To Big Bear Lodging

December 3rd, 2008 by admin

I live in Los Angeles but I never went to big bear which is not too far from where I live.  I have a friend who had recently drove up to Big Bear Lodging and she told me the most incredible stories about the time that she spent there and I was completely jealous and so I wanted to check this place out for myself.

I made almost all the arrangements that I had to for my upcoming trip and I just had some final details to worry about.  Once I had everything taken care of I said goodbye to my friend and told her I would come back with my own stories and this time she would be jealous.

Pollution and Our Immune System

November 2nd, 2008 by admin

Did you know that pollution plays a major role in weakening our immune system, thus exposing our body to diseases which a normal immune system can fight without any problems? I’ve experienced this on my own body.

Twenty years ago, when I lived in the countryside, I never caught any colds in years. Nowadays, I have a flu every month, despite the fact that I take well being supplements like Claritose, or other glyconutrients. I suppose this is a tribute we have to pay for the technology wonders we all enjoy in our daily life, from mobile phones to cars, planes or electric lawn mowers. Everything that has an engine leads to pollution. However, I think it would be difficult to travel back in time with 20 years or so, to a less polluted environment. Life has surely changed and maybe not for the better.

Young women and learning sewing

October 17th, 2008 by admin

Recently my mother told me one of the best things that young girls can learn is sewing. It is something that can never be taught too early and young women should always be taught about sewing young so that they can develop their skills over the years.

It does become difficult for many mothers to find a good way to segway their girls to sewing by using a refurbished sewing machine that is cheap and is still very easy to use. It’s easier to use than a new one and you don’t need to worry about it breaking because you can get another one very cheap.

Fall, a Bad Season for Allergy Sufferers

October 17th, 2008 by admin

One of the most common allergens which trigger those allergic asthma symptoms I know so well, is pollen. This is why, for me spring and fall are two seasons I’m always sorry when they come. I am not sure what kind of pollen exactly I’m allergic to, but it has to be something from the fall flowers, because my symptoms definitely are worse during September-October. Some days are so bad that I cannot get out of the house, because I start sneezing and I never stop.

Seriously, once I sneezed all the way from home to the office, while I was riding my bicycle. You’d say it’s funny, but I can assure you it’s not. I seriously consider relocating into a country where there are only two seasons. Or maybe I should go to the South Pole to have only one season and no pollen at all.

Comparing Hosts to get the Best

August 6th, 2008 by admin

I have always seen ads for different hosting companies, but I like when there is a site that actually gives me the positives and negatives a hosting company. The Top web hosting sites on the internet are usually the ones that have been around for a long time. If you want to pay money for high end web services you can, but personally I’m all about a deal, and if I can get cheap web hosting from a company that gives good phone support, thats good enough for me.

I think that I’m pretty happy with my host now, so things won’t change with it, but I know if it does where to go and take a look at the comparisons.

My Sis wants to be a Radiology Technician

August 5th, 2008 by admin

My little sister just finished graduated and got her Associates Degree. Now I know that doesn’t sound like much but it’s a wonder she is still alive. She was quite the wild child during her teen years. Through it all we just tried to support her and it was hard, but she made it and I’m proud of her.

She announced to the family that now she wants to go on to become an MRI Technician or a Radiology Technician. My how times have changed from wondering to where she was every night, to my sister the college student. I love you sis!

The Ram

December 17th, 2007 by admin

Talk about fun, we got a chance to use Grandpas Dodge Ram, and we went mudding with it. But don’t worry, it wasn’t anywhere that we could have done any damage or anything. the kids loved it, and it gave us a chance to do something they had been wanting to do for a long time.

When I see my kids playing with hotwheels and remote control trucks, they have an imagination of crawling over smaller cars with them, and today we actually got to make that come true.

Africa

October 28th, 2007 by admin

I’m leaving for Africa tomorrow for almost 2 weeks. A lot of good and bad feelings come with it. I’ve just spent the last 3 days at the HPC Women’s Conference being encouraged to “Live the Dream.” Helping the people in Africa is one of my dreams. But like Chris Caine said, giving birth to a dream, just like giving birth to a child, is painful. Leaving my family is the hardest thing in the world.

Africa is a pretty place to visit, and if I had to live there I am sure I would enjoy it too. The people there are very hospitable and willing to share the little they have with me, so I am looking forward to seeing them and helping them as much as I can.
