I'm done with school! I'm done with school! I'm done with school!
The last week of April was an exciting one for me, because it was the last week that I would ever have to sit in a classroom! No more lectures. No more note-taking. No more block exams. I can't even being to describe how amazing it feels. And I can't believe that I finally made it to this point!
So, what's next? Rotations... for the next year. From now until next May, when I will FINALLY graduate, I'll be working at seven different sites, exploring various fields of pharmacy. I'll be at each site for six weeks, learning the ins and outs of each pharmacy's role in the world of healthcare. Here's my schedule:
May 2 through June 10: Walgreens in downtown Louisville
June 13 through July22: University of Louisville Hospital, Neurosurgical ICU
August 1 through September 9: BREAK!! I'm off for 6 weeks!
September 12 through October 21: Kroger Patient Care Center
October 31 through December 9: Louisville Compounding Pharmacy
December 12 through January 20: University of Louisville Hospital, Outpatient Oncology
January 30 through March 9: Norton Suburban Hospital
March 19 though April 27: Kentucky Professional Recovery Network
I started my first rotation at Walgreens a few weeks ago, and am really enjoying it! I've been able to put a lot of what I learned in school to practice, but it's amazing how much I've learned from simply being in real practice that I could have never gained from sitting in a classroom.
I'm excited because my rotations cover lots of different areas of pharmacy, and I'm excited to learn about each one. I've only worked in retail before, so everything will be very new to me. I'm sure many of them will be challenging (neurosurgical ICU, anyone?) but I'm looking forward to being pushed outside of my
comfort zone and seeing what else is out there! :)
Until next time...
