Pharmacy Half-way dinner with classmates!!

Woohoo! The therapeutic midsem test was finally over on thurs! i cannot say that i did really well in that, instead i think i shud be more consistent in my study. so that i can be more relaxed before exam. But i really had this big Relief after finishing the test in morning and the practical in evening!

Maybe it is partly due to the fact that i had a pharmacy dinner with the classmates in sublime at night. maybe also cos it was a tough subject and i was glad that it was over d. or maybe also easter camp is coming soon and i am really excited about it though i have many commitments in it as the secretary of the camp..too many maybes..haha

OCF advisor, Phil gave a very good sharing which strucked me alot. when i m stressed and anxious, can i really liek surrender to Him and just life all my burden to Him and have that BIG RELIEF too?? It is really a very good question as we always say we will totally rely on Him but how many % we really can achieve. we still hold on to it and keep on worrying about the outcome isnt it? i really pray that i can strengthen ny faith and one day proudly handle all my burdens to Him without holding back and really have that nig relieve as my problem is in his hands now. and He will eb in control of everything. and i need not to worry anymore!! Amen!!

Anyway, back to my topic. I enjoyed alot in the dinner and i got to know my placement partner, Eleanor Thomas better thru the dinner. She is the prettiest gal in our class and even the whole faculty!! i must say that she is much more prettier than many local aus stars and even the international stars and models. She is the gal who we all the asian gals will always wan to look at,..haha but our class relaly full of pretty aussie gals!! below is one picture of her but she definitely looks far better in real!

My growing passion for Pharmacy!!

My interests and passion for pharmacy is growing everyday!! I did struggle alot when i first started my pharmacy esp in the dispensing practical. The good new is that there is not so much of dispensing drugs in 3rd year pharmacy!!

Instead i got the chance to counsel the patients and have placement in various places including the rural areas. However, counseling patients is not an easy task as there are thousands of patients on multiple drugs and each of the drug is unique and will interact with each other tremendously. And we as the pharmacists have to check every single drugs and assume that our patients dont know anything about the drug at all so that most detailed info can be given to them. Not forgetting that we have to deal with the doctors who may had carelessly prescribed a wrong drug. So pharmacist's burden is really huge ya!!


In last week's lecture, my favourite lecturer, Luke showed us a statistic and below are some of the amazing facts:


- On average there are 170 prescriptions per pharmacy per day!! (so now you know how much a pharmacy earns ya..hehe)


- A pharmacist has only 3.4 minutes to check one prescriptions ( there's seriously too short of time as our two hours exam onli have two presriptions!!)


- Many pharmacists dont have the proper lunch time due to the presription bulks.( most of the pharmacists have only half an hour break.)


But all these does not stop my passion for pharmacy!! hopefully i can keep this passion ongoing..hehe.


Dear Lord,

I am looking for a pharmacy assistant job now and i pray that the pharmacies which i have sent in resumes will contact me soon. I dont mind low pay as long as i got to learn more and enhance my experience in dispensing and counselling skills. Thank you Lord!! i am really eager to work in any pharmacies Lord!!
