Interning was a very different experience for me, sometimes I enjoyed being there while other times I wished for a crazed drug head to show up just so there could be a little excitement. I always imagined interning as working alone someone in a field in which you wish to enter, where they offer advice to help you reach your goal of your future occupation. However, during my internship this was not the case, I felt as though I was just a free worker at their disposal; not once did I feel like I was being taught the ways of the pharmaceutical trade. Nonetheless, knowledge was thrust upon in and the internship was helpful in many ways. There were many things I did not know about pharmacy operations, that is not the case anymore. I use to be one of those people in line complaining about how slow they were but never again. I never fully realized how much they actually did behind that counter until interning. People need to be more patient with them, there working hard back there and snide comments are the last thing they need to hear. Also, this taught me how rude the older generation is when it comes to new Medicare laws; they always want to blame the pharmacist and then become irate when they have to explain the new laws. As for skills that I learned, I would have to say the most important was socialization. I’m the type of person who is terrified of asking for help, I rather just pretend that I understand something then ask others for help in the fear of look ignorant to them. This was something that I could not do at the pharmacy it was better to ask questions then for them to scan the medication bottles and here that terrible wrong alarm sound go off. Commutation is a very important aspect in the world and this internship has brought me to realization of this and it’s a skill I will use for the rest of my life. The function of networking was another important skill I learned. The majority of jobs are received by
