<begin shameless plug>
Well, there have been hints about it (read through the comments on some posts from a month or two ago and it’s pretty obvious), but I’m finally ready to announce….(drum roll please):
BlogPharm, the blogging community for pharmacy people, and…stuff.
Seriously, if you’re a pharmacist/tech/student/pbm employee/drug rep/etc, and you’d like to blog but don’t know how, BlogPharm is for you.
It’s based on the world-renowned WordPress (the same software this blog runs on), and it has so many features, you can do almost anything with it
So if you’re interested, head on over to BlogPharm and sign up today!

Note: we are no longer looking for technicians..
My store is in desperate need of a technician to be hired by the end of next week (at the latest.) If you are a technician or pharmacy student in Norther Virginia, please email me at andrew [at] chronolink [dot] net ASAP. We are looking to fill a full-time position (35 hours, or part-time if you know someone else who can share the hours with you.) The shifts we need to fill are every other weekend (10am-6pm) and mostly evenings (either 12:30-9pm or 5-9pm, with occasional morning, 9-5:30pm shifts and 12-hr, 9am-9pm shifts). Our store is 5 minutes away from a metro station and no more than 30 minutes from most parts of the NOVA section of the metro area.
Perks:
- Our store is relatively slow; very rarely do we go over 100 scripts a day.
- The schedule is flexible; great for students. I can work around any scheduling needs you have.
- You get 10% off anything in the store (a major “big box” retailer)
- Health benefits/401k after 6 months of employment
Please email me ASAP, as we need to have someone hired by the end of next week (at the latest), since the other technician is leaving for school next week.
PTCB certification is preferred (and rewarded in pay), but not required. Please be licensed in Virginia or able to get licensed soon. We prefer someone who has a background in pharmacy, but we will consider applicants who are untrained. Retail experience is a must, and experience with PDX is a plus.
Well, maybe not, but I have been linked from the Wall Street Journal Health Blog (and its requisite copyblog). The article is about Medicaid’s new requirement that all prescriptions must be written on tamper-resistant pads beginning in October, something that will undoubtedly cause headaches in the last 3 months of this year.
The WSJ Health Blog is a great resource for health professionals. It’s a great honor to be linked from it.
Well, I’ve been meaning to do it for a while, but I finally have a new theme for PharmCountry. It’s a heavily modified version of Festival by dirflux.com. The title graphic is just the old one except on black instead of white. (The procedure used to change the colors made the pill logo look really cool, didn’t it?)
I added a reflection to the header because that sort of thing seems to be in nowadays (and I thought the header looked to short without it.)
So, do you like it? hate it? don’t care? Post a comment.
More real posts to come tonight after work (hopefully.)
FYI, I’ve added a few more links to the blogroll to the right (all pharmacy blogs) that I’ve found while surfing. I’ll probably have more to add tonight after the Blogger meetup (is it that time of the month again?)
