Just wondering as I keep reading "if you're good" on these boards. I've got a superficial idea from working with various pharmacists what I think makes a 'good' pharmacist but I'd like to know what thoughts are from qualified pharmacists.

1. Turn up on time
2. Actually work - don't read the paper all day!
3. Keep up to date on drug knowledge etc
4. Be nice to the staff
5. Be nice to the customers
6. Be prepared to go out of your way to help someone
I guess there are more, I just can't think of any right now. Here's an example of what I'd call a bad one.
You turn up at a place and the place is full of baskets with unchecked prescritions in them. You ask if they were busy the day before. The answer is no, but yesterday's pharmacist wouldn't check them - he was reading his book all day.
You'll soon get the idea...........Lively debate is encouraged but please respect the opinions and feelings of others.
Please help keep the forum vibrant by spreading the work to friends and colleagues via word of mouth or social media.

My ulterior motive for wanting to be busy is that time passes much quicker and then you can go home again!47 BC : Julius Cesar : Veni Vidi Vici : I came, I saw I conquered.

There are successful pharmacists - but those that actually exercise proper pharmaceutical care are probably unemployable.

What we need do is get the best parts of pharmacy from each of us, sew them all together, apply a few Megavolts from some lightning and behold. Super Pharmacist is born. The Pharm Soc would probably object as it would only get one retention fee.
The bits that are left could retire.47 BC : Julius Cesar : Veni Vidi Vici : I came, I saw I conquered.
