Pharmacist School?

pharmacist — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 18:40:26 +0000

I just started working in a pharmacy and I’m going to be trained to be a pharmacy tech. Where can I take pharmacy tech classes?
Also if I wanted to go to college to be an actual pharmacist, how would I find a college that teaches it? And what is it called, like is the course route called pharmacist or is there like a fancy name for it. Do you have to go to 4-year college first?
I live in Connecticut. Thanks…

Wedding Details, And Tolerance. Am I Wrong?

pharmacist — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:19:44 +0000

My now fiance and I met while in our undergrad programs. For the past four years we have been absolutely devoted to one another, and done everything that has been asked of us. Her parents are old-fashioned New England traditionalists that have insisted on very strict adherence to the old ways. For the first three years we were dating, she could not visit my apartment overnight, and when I visited her I slept in the basement. To stay with her, I turned down a lucrative job offer after school to stay in the state, and help support her finishing her graduate program. Now, she is planning on helping me as I enter law school.
In December, we were engaged and tentatively planned a wedding for the summer of 2010. By this point she is finished with pharmacy school and I would have completed my first year of law school, while living with friends. We will be apart for the year. The early wedding was to placate their beliefs so that when she moves to be with me after that first year we would have already been married.
Now, her parents have said they will not pay for the wedding. They argue that since they have put both their daughters through school they can’t afford it. While this is normally a perfectly valid argument it doesn’t hold much water with me since they recently found money for a new BMW, a new truck, a new snowmobile and a $5,000 gun. It feels that they are putting their own greed above their daughter’s happiness. And that is fine, and certainly there choice.
However, they are now saying because we won’t be married until after I finish law school that she can’t live with me while I am in school. Also, they have said that despite our wishes to have a wedding on Cape Cod, where we spend a lot of time and where my family is from that they won’t attend since it is more than one hour drive from their home in Connecticut. Am I wrong or is this rediculous?
I was brought up to believe that traditionally the bride’s parents would pay, and that more modernly the groom’s family would pay a signficant share. Only recently has it been argued that the bride and groom should pay themselves, and that is not usually argued by the same people that are advocating strict adherence to tradition.Plus, if we do pay for the wedding ourselves shouldn’t we get to choose exactly where it is and when it is? Again am I wrong? Any advice on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated.

What College Do You Think Is Better For Pre-pharmacy?

pharmacist — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 20:59:09 +0000

I’m a senior in high school and I got accepted to Univeristy of Connecticut and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. Everytime I ask people this question they’re like…if you like the country then go to UConn but if you love the city then go to Massachusetts College of Pharmacy (It’s in Boston). But to be honest with you…I can adjust to any area. My main concern is which college has a better pre-pharmacy program? Please help me!!
