Im a pharmacist, Ask me (almost) anything?

My penis is about 9 inches and regular condoms dont fit me
any advice ?

I would probably say your not using it right or a faulty batch (1 once stuck my head inside a regular condom (partly scientific curiosity, partly I wanted to see if the rumours) and I apparently have a big head (11 inches by 6 inches by 10 inches at thickest points) and in fact, you can inflate them like balloons. if you want to you could try different types tbh try and see which one fits if your not satisfied

Hey
How difficult is it to get into a hospital pharmacist after the degree?

How hard was it to do your pre reg?

What was your fav part of the pharmacy course in general

How much do you (almost) make?

Erm I have a friend who was wondering how to make Crystal meth which is a similar to the type in Breaking bad

1) depends where you do pre-reg tbh. you need to spend at least 6 months (ideally 11 months +) as a hospital pre-reg to be considered at all by most hospitals nowadays so try and get as much hospital experience as you can (getting an interview for me was more straghtforward than getting interviews for community tbh but I fluffed all my interviews due to unfortunate circumstances / in 1 case: jetlag)

2) it varies from people to people but mine was hard (I will actually be addressing that in a future blog/vlog so stay tuned to my posts).

3)I enjoyed all the clinical stuff tbh and even though i dislike law & ethic lectures, I was surprisingly adept at it (also loved hosting seminars/ presentation and was always forced into debating things by my classmates for some bizarre reason)

Why do they call the degree pharmacy and not pharmacology?

Iinteresting.
I prefer hospital over community, so I might just do a 12 month rather than a split pre reg.
Even though its good to learn all the community stuff too surely?

Did you ever consider graduate entry Medicine?
Would you recommend your job to A-level students?

Thank you for the info
Will defnitely try and get as much experience as i can get during the degree to boost my chances of hospital pharmacy as well as finding a pre-reg firm
Ahh well done on the interviews

Ok. will watch the thread religiously

Ooh nice

I have one more question if you dont mind
Would being an introvert put you at a disadvange?

@quasa


what tips would you give to a gcse student (i noticed you gave tips for A-level though)

would you say pharmacy is tedious and repetitive? I worked for a day at a pharmacy and i could not stand it...)

do you have any advice for acne sufferers relating medication and treatment?

dont mind at all. the answer to that question is ultimately how you do at interviews tbh. you do have introvert hospital pre-reges but its not an advantage or disadvantage, as long as you do well on the day of the interview and dont appear scared of everything you should be ok.

tbh, community stuff you can cover in a month as a hospital pre-reg it is not that hard. the only difference you will notice is that community is more restrictive regarding what you can and cant give out per prescription (has to be brand product if brand specified whereas hospital you can give anything as generic) and cds are generally lax in community vs hospitals (eg in most hospital wards I visited up north and down south, all cds on wards, including schedule 5 like codeine, are kept in CD cupboard, whereas in community it is usually 1 (if they keep), 2 and some schedule 3s (also weirdly some keep 10mg methotrexate in CD cupboards )

Unfortunately they dont offer 11 month, one month pre reg in england?

or do they? is it that they give people one month in communiuty if yeh do a hospital pre reg?

grand thats that sorted then. Il go for the 12 month hospital if thats the case.

its actually a 12 month pre-reg in hospital but you would have to organise 2-4 weeks in community. (similar to what I did with my pre-reg but the opposite ie 11 months in community, 1 in hospital but it was classified as a 12 month community pre-reg)

would someone take yeh on for 2-4 weeks though? yeh reckon youd be better off doing something like that?

doing a 12 month hospital pre reg and try an organise volunteering at some place for free the month before yeh start?

yeah, some community pharmacies will be willing to take you on. some hospitals actually arrange it with people like boots for 2-4 weeks. but generally you would have to organise it yourself and gain permission. you would still be paid by the hospital for those 2-4 weeks but show that you attended the community placement
