i had done my two weeks attachment in retail pharmacy last week
i'm here just want to share my first experience about my future career
hmmmm...
kinda sad that i don't have the habit to snap photo all the time unlike my friends
they'll automatically take out their phones or whatever to capture every special moment that may just happens once in their life
so...
no photo for me to upload *sigh
ok, back to the topic
actually there was more or less the same for what i done everyday
the pharmacist gave me a task everyday and i need to seek for the answers
once i'm free, i took out all the controlled medicine one by one in the cabinet
and search for the info of each of them by using MIMS and Mr. Google of course
i did learnt and recognized some common drugs
but i knew that there are so so so many brand names for a single drug eg. paracetamol
for what i learnt in a short two weeks are absolutely not enough
be frankly, i had lost my passionate toward the attachment in pharmacy on the first day
i found that i knew nothing about every single thing that a pharmacist should do
i don't know how to educate patient on using the medicament
i don't know what appropriate medicine should be recommended to patient (there are really too many types of medicine that have same effect but somehow they are slightly different in some aspects)
i don't know how to assist the pharmacist and staff there
i feel quite shame for my overconfident before TT
however, i tried to approach the pharmacist and gain as much as knowledge in two weeks time
i believed that i can assist the patients and give them counselling about the usage of every medicine with full confidence one day, like a professional pharmacist ^^
by the way, my sis chew shean is doing her internship in mediacorp right now
(but i feel like it's a hardship from her blog XD)
it's normal that you found difficulty in the very beginning
but you will feel much better after you overcome the transition time
grab this opportunity to come in contact with your future works
because this is your first ever big step into your career (like what i done..hehe)
if you see my blog, you get a blessing from me ^^
PS: freaking cold here in Taylor's Uni library while i'm blogging XD
