retail pharmacy= waste of pharmacy knowledge... it takes a special person to put up with all the bullshit from retail patients though... Though they can more likely tell you the ins and outs of different insurance policies rather than drug info, retail pharmacists deserve the big bucks solely due to the stressful nature of their work
And stop making corporate decisions without asking the pharmacists who actually do the work at the store level. OH and extra tech hours for the EXTRA things you are making pharmacists do. It quite ridiculous. I should start some kind of Target pharmacy petition for convincing the Target to quit making their pharmacists work alone so they can actually take care of their patients.
man I think I can keep doing this all day, anyways, they want the pharmacists to do all this ALONE. It's only a matter of time when they are burned out. I hope they see my post XD and give those pharmacists actual help. Oh, and those non-pharmacy people cannot ring people up at the pharmacy because they are not pharmacy trained. It takes them a second to make a mistake by giving the wrong bag to the customers.
selling otc items, pulling recalled drugs, doing return to stock, checking in the order, placing supply order, doing store trainings/ store meetings/ extra store forms that have nothing to do with pharmacy daily operation, giving flu shots, handling audits, doing extra work that corporate office wants you to do out of the blue/ and then they realize that it was a bad decision after they screwed up some numbers/ being treated like a drug abuser by the company,
Without having a tech around, how is the pharmacist supposed to get out of the pharmacy to answer all the questions people have in the store, when the pharmacist is answering the phone, taking prescriptions from phone, helping people who are dropping off, picking up, filling prescriptions, printing the freaking autofills with the PDX, labeling the prescription bottles that takes 10 more steps than other pharmacies...
Are you kidding me? They don't give you tech hours for low volume Target pharmacies. My friend works at a tech there, they only have 20 hours a WEEK! Target does not realize that there are basic daily operational things that go on in the pharmacy. You can't not do those things to run the pharmacy properly. Now I know Target pharmacists are very nice, but they are stressed because they don't have basic help.
@ballpeenbaby Then why do they need to get a DOCTOR of Pharmacy (Pharm D) degree in order to become full-fledged Pharmacists? Maybe you're referring to the "Pharmacy Technicians" who were usually manning the cash registers.
LMAO, Pharmacists ARE NOT doctors at all...Thats like saying the people who work at Starbucks are "Baristas", lol, Uh, no you're not....You're a cashier....
This commercial gives me mixed messages. No offense, but such a genius just ends up with Target Pharmacy, isn't she supposed to discover some cure for deadly disease?
@tintinban Just a target pharmacist? Try looking up what a pharmacist has to go through. Did you know that between a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, and pharmacist that the pharmaicst is the only professional that undergoes extensive pharmacokinetics? Not only that but NP and PA hardly see any if at all! Yet the only one without prescribing authority is the pharmacist? Pharmacists are a unique tool that is becoming more and more utilized. Not "Just a Pharmacist"
@tintinban Perhaps she chose pharmacy because she could use her intelligence in a field that will monetarily reward it and has a relatively flexible schedule. My father is a MD, my mother-in-law is a researcher (MD/PhD), and my father-in-law is a surgeon and med. school prof. (MD/PhD). Not only do I know more about drugs than they do, I'll be making more starting off than any of them did and will have more free time - I've only met my father-in-law two or three times because of how busy he is!
@1967nita They are just actresses (except the last one who is the real Virginia). They pick similar looking girls, dress them up similarly, comb their hair similarly, and give them the same red frame glasses. It's enough to fool your eyes into making the connection. It's quite common trick in TV shows, but if you think about it do you have the same hairstyle you did as a kid? Probably not :)
yay, pharmacy! :) most underrated profession ever. uneducated people think we don't do anything -- and then we spend 8 crazy difficult years of schooling under the radar -- and then 8 years later, we're making 6 digit salaries and working 3 days a week at a cushy retail store. nice. :)
@livverde It is a waste of talent. As a Pharm.D; I can honestly say anyone that talented should be a real doctor. A 6 year Pharm.D. doesn't make you a real doctor. It's only a year of rotations removed from a regular R.Ph who isn't a doctor but can competently do the job this young lady is doing. Pharmacy is truly for people who like to be paid well and who want to be able to leave their work at work. If you want to make a big difference an MD will always make a greater impact.
I'm a curious seeker too.. Wait... what,..curious seeker? I don't seek curious. I mean... I am curious..and I seek curiou~ hey, this is confusing me. What is the meaning of this! Target!
Pharmacists have the most knowledge about drugs than any other health professionals including the doctors. The doctors make tons of errors on drugs prescriptions, Pharmacist usually catch the mistakes and report back to the doctor. There is a reason why Pharmacists make a six figure salary.
Love the commercial, my daughter is the people pleaser that wants all her friends to feel better lol, what a great few days working with all of these people :)
The TALENT is BRILLIANT and worked very hard and the lady at the end is a REAL Pharmacist!!!!!!!!!!!!! My daughter is in the 2nd and 3rd scene...at the Science Fair and on the Gameshow. Great job on this commercial!!!
@gholland951 Thanks for sharing. . . when I saw this ad, I thought how great it was for Target to show that young ladies can grow up to be anything they want to be.
A pharmacist is like the middle man between the doctor and the patient. Just because they would work at target or CVS doesn't mean they don't make 100k + LOL. Their job isn't easy.
Pharmacists are completely over qualified on what they do in retail and in clinical. Hell, pharmacy students aren't even challenged in pharmacy school. Pharmacy schools teach students how to use a scale and learn how to type as part of the curriculum! I've seen some pretty smart undergraduate biology students enter pharmacy school and exit more stupid before they have entered. This is due to a "follow the cook book mentality." There is no out of the box thinking.
@truebreakerz11 I have no idea what pharmacy school you speak of. But I assure you, that at the University of Toledo of nearly 400 people that apply to the PharmD program, only 108 make it in. I am one of them. My classmates are some of the most intelligent and insightful people I have ever met. We are always tired, exhausted, frustrated - but we are challenged and in no way has pharmacy school been easy. If you have any more doubts, join me for a semester, and we'll see how you feel.
@truebreakerz11 You can't generalize all pharmacy schools based on the area that you live in and probably only 5 or 6 people that you know. Pharmacy schools are all over the country and each of them has their own way of teaching and developing their students. My school does a remarkable job at preparing their pharmacy students.
@carrothuy You are such a moron, at least half my class had biochem degrees including myself and quite a few had masters and actually worked in biochemical research, again including myself. Research may be intellectually challenging even exciting at first, but in the long run it's depressing and there is no money in it. You can be just as intellectually challenged death and life decisions on someone's heart failure therapy strategy or anticoag meds as you are in research, only paid better :)
@cutecheburashka Maybe I wasn't being very clear... Nothing against pharmacists. My argument was regarding how women are portrayed in this particular commercial. If it were a man shown, he would probably end up shown as a researcher with groundbreaking discovery... Money is not the issue, most people going into research seek to make difference, at least the people I work with do, money is considered byproducts.
@carrothuy they do make a difference. you don't know what goes on in the pharmacy. they're checking for drug-drug interactions, accurate dosing etc...they're not just counting pills.
Come to think of it, my annoyance with this commercial may have more to do with the fact that the character here is extremely smart, knows that she's smart and isn't humble about it in the least.
She's smarter than the rest of us, and she wants us to know it......it reminds me of certain people I went to school with, none of whom were liked very much by the rest of my peers. This commercial may turn a lot of people off
And I still say this commercial airs WAY TOO OFTEN!
Go Virginia!!! MCPHS Class of 2009 all the way!! If it weren't for pharmacists, doctors mistakes would kill tons of people. We know a lot about disease states, how to treat them and what to prescribe.. that's why there is a line at my consultation window every day asking for my advice. These commercials finally give us a little recognition on how we provide excellent patient care and we're not just 'drug dealers' like ignorant people think.
@TheNutPharm Yes, I recognize Virginia from my Target pharmacy in Pittsburg, CA....its quite funny because I saw this commercial for the first time today and was like, "Oh sh*!, thats my pharmacist at Target!" such a small world. I'll be sure to point that out to her the next time I go...heheh
@MiniComplainer you're closed minded...she's making the biggest impact of anyone. Do you know how many years super genius people have been working on a cure for cancer and we still don't have one. Working behind the counter and counseling people will save many more lives from over-dosing than a researcher waiting for a big break in a lab may have encounter.
This is a sad statement of today's culture. For a moment assume this girl is as bright and as intelligent as she is in the commercial. She ends up spending her whole life studying to be a pharmacy tech at a big box store. This is yet another tragic waste of American talent. Women like this should be Doctors and Scientists. It's hard enough getting women into STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) careers already. This commercial sends the wrong message: "It's OK to dumb yourself down."
@tyrrax Pharmacists are doctors. They have doctorate degrees in pharmacy. Waste of talent? I think not. Next time do some research. It'll save you from making a fool out of yourself. :-)
@livverde Lets see. No favorites. One friend that looks like they've been banned. Yeah...you've got the stench of a corporate shill all around you. You could at least try to sound like a real person instead of being a corporate tool.
@livverde it was a waste of talent i mean who goes to the target pharmacy? id rather go to kaiser where the people actually know what they're doing and not target where they get kids straight out of collage who think they know what they are doing.
@calstud4life no shes not she's a paid actor they wouldn't use a real pharmacist because people would keep coming up to her and distracting her making it hard for her to work. you might have these people fooled but i like to use logic.
its funny cuz shes sooo smart and u would think she would get a really good career that will pay her good money. but then she turns to be a target pharmacist.
this commercial is so unrealistic. pharmacy is not "fun". it's not about knowing stuff and sounding smart. it's about the health and well being of patients.
@blinkofani07 Half true...being a pharmacist *is* about knowing stuff... It is your knowledge base that will allow you to provide the best possible care for your patients.
@DrunkenCellist What i meant was it's about applying the knowledge, not rattling off facts, meds and various conditions like portrayed in this video. She says - "I'm a medical dictionary". What good is a medical dictionary to a patient? How is it useful when anyone can research that stuff online? I'm in my first year of pharmacy school at the U of Toledo (i'm going for a PharmD) and maybe I don't know much yet - but this is a disgusting glamorization of the profession I'm studying VERY hard for!
@blinkofani07 I think it's sad but true that sometimes, being able to rattle off the relevant information and terminology from the top of your head is what it takes to get physicians to trust you. But you're right that it does no good (and would really be counterproductive) when interacting with a patient and that this video is rather exaggerated.
@calstud4life Read what I wrote above to DrunkenCellist. Yeah, pharmacists have to know a lot. (I might know a little about that, considering I'm studying to be one). But how is this a good portrayal of a pharmacist? If a pharmacist recited ochem and pathology factoids to you, would you be impressed and trust their judgement? All this commercial shows is the girl rattling off answers, that supposedly sound intelligent. That doesn't make a pharmacist seem any smarter than a parrot. BAD AD!!!
@donniedarko2864212 When you are flipping burgers because you failed out of your pre-med biology degree, just remember this girl making $135,000 plus bonuses.

@dbzkid714 I find is ironic. I think it's sad... she is a super genius but she will be working behind that counter for many years.....

@MiniComplainer you're closed minded...she's making the biggest impact of anyone. Do you know how many years super genius people have been working on a cure for cancer and we still don't have one. Working behind the counter and counseling people will save many more lives from over-dosing than a researcher waiting for a big break in a lab may have encounter.

This is a sad statement of today's culture. For a moment assume this girl is as bright and as intelligent as she is in the commercial. She ends up spending her whole life studying to be a pharmacy tech at a big box store. This is yet another tragic waste of American talent. Women like this should be Doctors and Scientists. It's hard enough getting women into STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) careers already. This commercial sends the wrong message: "It's OK to dumb yourself down."

@tyrrax She's a "Pharmacist" not a "Pharmacy Tech" and will be making 6 figures.

Not as much as a Doctor. Even as a Pharmacist it is still a waste of talent.
tyrrax 10 months ago
@tyrrax Pharmacists are doctors. They have doctorate degrees in pharmacy. Waste of talent? I think not. Next time do some research. It'll save you from making a fool out of yourself. :-)

@livverde Lets see. No favorites. One friend that looks like they've been banned. Yeah...you've got the stench of a corporate shill all around you. You could at least try to sound like a real person instead of being a corporate tool.

@livverde it was a waste of talent i mean who goes to the target pharmacy? id rather go to kaiser where the people actually know what they're doing and not target where they get kids straight out of collage who think they know what they are doing.

@calstud4life no shes not she's a paid actor they wouldn't use a real pharmacist because people would keep coming up to her and distracting her making it hard for her to work. you might have these people fooled but i like to use logic.

this commercial is so unrealistic. pharmacy is not "fun". it's not about knowing stuff and sounding smart. it's about the health and well being of patients.
blinkofani07 10 months ago
@blinkofani07 Half true...being a pharmacist *is* about knowing stuff... It is your knowledge base that will allow you to provide the best possible care for your patients.
DrunkenCellist 10 months ago
@DrunkenCellist What i meant was it's about applying the knowledge, not rattling off facts, meds and various conditions like portrayed in this video. She says - "I'm a medical dictionary". What good is a medical dictionary to a patient? How is it useful when anyone can research that stuff online? I'm in my first year of pharmacy school at the U of Toledo (i'm going for a PharmD) and maybe I don't know much yet - but this is a disgusting glamorization of the profession I'm studying VERY hard for!
blinkofani07 10 months ago
@blinkofani07 I think it's sad but true that sometimes, being able to rattle off the relevant information and terminology from the top of your head is what it takes to get physicians to trust you. But you're right that it does no good (and would really be counterproductive) when interacting with a patient and that this video is rather exaggerated.

@blinkofani07 You're right, being a pharmacist is all about being compassionate and friendly. You shouldn't have any knowledge at all!
calstud4life 10 months ago
@calstud4life Read what I wrote above to DrunkenCellist. Yeah, pharmacists have to know a lot. (I might know a little about that, considering I'm studying to be one). But how is this a good portrayal of a pharmacist? If a pharmacist recited ochem and pathology factoids to you, would you be impressed and trust their judgement? All this commercial shows is the girl rattling off answers, that supposedly sound intelligent. That doesn't make a pharmacist seem any smarter than a parrot. BAD AD!!!
