Ok, so i have a one month mandatory rotation coming up this summer.

minimum 4 weeks with a minimum of 160 hours


i drew out of the lottery to pick from the list of approved preceptors....

96 out of 115


this means theres little chance im gonna get the cary or raleigh ones.
therefore i need to find a pharmacy in the area and go talk to them to see if they will adopt me for one month......

the ones on the list are mostly big chain pharmacies.
you guys know of any cool mom and pop places that i could possibly work a this summer?

it's nonpaid.


if they pay me it doesnt count

12/14/2009 12:19:26 PM

lol.... i don't think big sug files taxes so you're good.

12/14/2009 12:20:37 PM

my best friend went to pharmacy school @ UNC. She interned at CVS, but also did her rotations at a VA hospital, lab/clinic that researched blood thinner medication (I think she just sat and pricked fingers all day ), and she even worked @ Duke for awhile (can't remember what she did).

12/14/2009 12:21:11 PM

yeah-retail is this summer.

hospital rotations next summer

clinical the summer after that

then my whole p4 year is nothing but 4 or 5 rotations in different places.

but i dont want to commute to fayetteviile or some shit for a month this summer

12/14/2009 12:23:13 PM

you think garner/apex would have any on the list?

12/14/2009 12:25:11 PM

you cannot intern for a pharmacy ITT, BTW

[Edited on December 14, 2009 at 12:27 PM. Reason : lol]

12/14/2009 12:25:24 PM

^^yeah they do

basically they have all of the big chains covered from charlotte to holly springs

[Edited on December 14, 2009 at 12:26 PM. Reason : ^ ]

12/14/2009 12:26:48 PM

A cousin of mine did internships with CVS and now she's hired on full time with them.

12/14/2009 12:27:54 PM

i know a couple cool mom and pop places in goldsboro. the commute is easy, but i doubt you wanna do it.

12/14/2009 12:30:46 PM

do one in clt we may be able to fix yall up a place in our halfway house.

12/14/2009 12:31:52 PM

i worked at burton's pharmacy in downtown greensboro for 5 years. if you wanna make the drive...i highly suggest you go there. i know frank burton like a father.

anyways, if you have the choice, go to an independent pharmacy, not a chain. ive worked in both, and the independents will be a much better learning experience.

12/14/2009 12:32:15 PM

falls river pharmacy

12/14/2009 12:34:05 PM

i would MUCH rather intern at an independent pharmacy.
im gonna go around hopefully next week and talk to people about adopting me


i wanted to see any suggestions from you guys

[Edited on December 14, 2009 at 12:38 PM. Reason : ^sweet, ill check it out! ]

12/14/2009 12:38:44 PM

Yeah, Joie, I remember my friend had to go out to towns like Lumberton for a month for her rotations that whole last year. she hated living out in these small towns! But she loved her roomies.

12/14/2009 12:48:11 PM

What's the one in 5points?

Hayes-Barton or something like that?

12/14/2009 12:49:11 PM

^yeah
WillemJoel's gf is pretty adamant about me going there and talking to them.

[Edited on December 14, 2009 at 12:50 PM. Reason : rytfgyd]

12/14/2009 12:50:33 PM

quietly used to work in the CVS pharmacy. Maybe ask her for an in.

12/14/2009 12:51:35 PM

thie thing is

most of the CVS's and Walgreens and rite aids (among other chains) are in my preceptor list.
meaning they have agreed to take students.

when we drew the lottery we were drawing in what order we would be able to pick off of the list.


i cant go to the ones already on the list and ask for an in because they've given all of their spots to the list.



if that makes any sense.

12/14/2009 12:53:37 PM

Bummer.

12/14/2009 12:54:25 PM

I was going to suggest Hayes-Barton as well. Plus that means that you can come visit me at NOFO when you get off work.

12/14/2009 12:54:30 PM

I'm pretty adamant you go there too!

12/14/2009 12:54:42 PM

i <3 nofo

12/14/2009 12:54:58 PM

Work at the Rite-Aid down the street from me.

12/14/2009 12:55:22 PM

^^me too! nofo is awesome!

12/14/2009 12:55:55 PM

I would come see you for drugs and mawle427 for foods

12/14/2009 12:56:34 PM

what about http://www.hayesbartonpharmacy.com/

12/14/2009 12:59:36 PM

Did you try Ashworth in downtown Cary?
I don't have any personal experience with them, but you mentioned independent and Cary, so that is the first thing I thought of.

12/14/2009 3:06:06 PM

i was gonna suggest hayes barton too

then you can eat lilly's pizza at every meal

12/14/2009 3:12:27 PM

I've passed this place, but I've never been in.

you guys rock


thank you so much

12/14/2009 10:44:18 PM

you find your place?

1/4/2010 12:26:12 AM

There's also that pharmacy across from Landmark/Sitti on Hargett Street.

1/4/2010 12:30:31 AM

you could try Blue Ridge Pharmacy

1/4/2010 12:32:01 AM

it has just been secured


Hayes-Barton it is

turning the paper in tomorrow.

"you find your place?"

they have a list of places to choose from, if you dont want any of those places or you draw a lottery number that sucks you can find your own.

this is an obvious attempt to get drugs.

1/7/2010 4:00:35 PM

Ashworth in downtown Cary is pretty cool, it's like going to Mayberry. It even has a soda fountain, and they make some tasty sandwiches.

[Edited on January 7, 2010 at 4:04 PM. Reason : ^truth. Pharmacy student, interning at a pharmacy, none of this adds up at all.]

1/7/2010 4:03:49 PM

I am so proud of my heterosexual e-partner!

the next time I decide to get a gigantic piece of cake at HB, I'll stop in the pharmacy and say WASSUP GIRL

1/7/2010 4:04:42 PM

^YOU BETTER

im pretty stoked about it.
the people there were SOOOOO nice

[Edited on January 7, 2010 at 4:07 PM. Reason : thanks for the recommendations guys! ]

1/7/2010 4:07:41 PM

Sounds like you're already set, but for future use...

McDonald's Drug Store in Durham - I have no idea if these folks are still running the store, but this place was super laid back about 9 years ago. They had an awesome lunch counter and always made me cherry cokes. Very good people.

n/m...Googled and found this:

Quote :

"Old McDonald's The old McDonald's Drug Store, at 732 Ninth St. with the brown awning still out front, is being turned into a soda shop called "Ox & Rabbit." Opening is advertised as this fall. Bryan Nickell of the Watts-Hillandale neighborhood incorporated Ox & Rabbit Inc. last May."

There is a mom & pop drug store in Hillsborough NC's downtown area that would probably be pretty good too. It is on a side street about 1/4 block from their main street (Highway 86N). If you were going through downtown from I-40 you'd take a left and the pharmacy would be on your right. I can't remember their name though.

I doubt my moms pharmacy takes interns but its in winston-salem and would be super easy. its part of Novant health. I know we used to take interns at the main pharmacy (forsyth hospital) when I worked there. Some of the meanest college girls I ever encountered .

1/7/2010 4:49:43 PM

oh nm, didnt read the entire thread.

good luck ! prepare yourself early for technician anger.

1/7/2010 4:51:25 PM

after hearing a friend of mine got a 30k signing bonus to lock in 2yrs with cvs on top of the already nice pharmacist salary - i'd go with a chain

1/7/2010 5:19:25 PM

Joie are you going to hook me up? I need more meds than my family doc writes scripts for, but I don't want to go back to a pain clinic

1/7/2010 5:22:08 PM

You might want to PM hgtran.

He finished up at UNC pharm about a year ago and as I recall was also screwed with his lottery number.

1/7/2010 5:23:39 PM

Why don't you earn your hydro's/oxy's the old fashioned way and get down on your knees in some alley?

1/7/2010 5:24:30 PM

I go through a doctors office...

you've watched Requiem For a Dream too many times.

[Edited on January 7, 2010 at 5:27 PM. Reason : /]

1/7/2010 5:26:43 PM

Not too many times.

However, on my psychiatry rotation I did work partly in a suboxone clinic.
