Why Pharmacy
As a future health care professional I feel it is very important to excel academically, but to also set myself apart from y classmates. My motivation may be ordinary, but how I do it is very different. Also what has brought me to be a pharmacist and to Florida A & M University has a lot to do with my motivation and aspirations. Being raised by two Florida A & M University Alumni, I was brought up knowing that Florida A & M is the number one University in the world. When my parents found out I wanted to be a pharmacist, they told me Florida A & M had a great pharmacy program. I then did my own research on the pharmacy program and found out that Florida A & M had one of the best pharmacy programs in the world. That is what brought me to Florida A & M University. The reason why I want to be a pharmacist is; I have a lot of elderly people in my family. The elderly people in my family have disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, and asthma. They have ample questions about what kinds of drugs they should take or what’s wrong with them and I want to be able to help them with there sickness. Also there are beginning to be more and more elderly people in the United States and the world. Another thing is, it is not only elderly people with health problems. Middle age adults, young adults, teenagers, kids and even infants have health problems. There are many people in the world that need medical attention. My motivation to be a pharmacist is to think of all the sick people out there and how I can help them. I want to help people that can not help themselves. What sets me apart from other people is, I am very easy to talk to. Something I will bring to the profession will be a comfortable environment, which to me is very important. A comfortable environment is important in this profession because if a client is comfortable they will open up to me and tell me exactly what’s wrong with them. In conclusion, I am the type of person that

    Typically, the career of pharmacists is concentrated on the correct and proper interpretation of prescriptions and the dispensing of products as prescribed (FDA, 2009). They represent as the final check and approval of a pharmaceutical product before it leaves the pharmacy and delivered to the patient for their use. While it is common that the place of work of pharmacists is in a hospital setting many pharmacists offer their practices as clinicians, wellness and health promotion professionals in a community health, as industrial pharmacist, consultants, post-secondary teachers, and owning and running their own pharmacy chains.

    Silence. Silence is what the audience awarded to Jerry Lee Lewis in London, the first stop on his European tour. While he sat at the piano--banging his bony fingers onto the keys with all of his strength, his hair flying in front of his face, sweat dripping down his face, putting all of his energy into his music until he simply had to kick the bench to the side and stand because sitting did not do the song justice--the audience refused to engage in his exuberance. Noticing this, he withdrew from his euphoria and said, “Y’all don’t have to jus’ stand there all quiet.” So they listened.…

    First, I fell in love with the pharmacy when I was seven years old; I had a high fever and was diagnosed with malaria. When I was told I will be getting injections, I rejected it, I felt bad I didn’t like injections. My last injection gave me a swollen bum. The doctor later placed on drugs, within a few days I recovered. Ever since then I promised myself that day I was going to become someone who makes those pills in future so that other kids won’t have to take those painful injections.…

    There are two instances in my life that has inspired me to gain interest in medicine. My grandmother when I was around the age of twelve received double bypass surgery and I fell in love with the physician who took care of her. The physician was a middle aged woman who was one of the kindest person I have ever met, and she gave us the news of how everything went fine during surgery. She also gave us great confidence in how my grandmother would return to normal soon. The look on my parents and aunts face when she gave the news gave me goosebumps and to this day I feel the same goosebumps when I think about this. I just wanted to one day be in a position to deliver good news to a family and to see that “look” of relief on their faces. Another…

    The reasons why I want to be a PA is that it is a profession that offers so much flexibility, diversity, and an expansive set of knowledge and skills for an individual that wants to practice medicine without having to go to medical school. As a PA, I would have an extensive choice of specialties I can practice in with the flexibility of working two different specialties simultaneously or switching from one specialty to another without requiring any extra schooling. I grew up with the mindset to learn something about everything. PAs are taught under this generalist principle to have knowledge in almost every discipline of medicine without requiring years of schooling. One of my main aspirations in becoming a PA is to be capable of teaching myself everyday throughout my entire life.…

    Something that disturbs me about being a pharmacist in retail pharmacy is knowing that I am responsible for what everyone under me does. Something as little as a technician making a dispensing mistake (bottling the wrong drug) can cause me to get fired or even lose my license. I am also bothered about the long hours that pharmacists have to work. About 90% of the job is done on foot and this seems pretty tiresome. I still have questions as to why this is so. What is it about this career that people barely sit down? Another disturbing factor I came across is having to work with sick patients. These types of people are usually the worst to work with because they are not in a very friendly mood. I wonder what is it that motivates pharmacists to do this because I would probably be afraid of catching their ailing germs. I would also like to know how pharmacists manage to put up with several different attitudes in any given day and still finish their job with a smile on their face.…

    It is very important to know about all aspects of medications especially in a hospital setting. Pharmacists are the double check system to make sure that the right medication is given to the patient to treat their problem. An example of that is, if a doctor gives an order for an antibiotic to treat a certain strain of bacteria, and the antibiotic doesn’t cover that strain it’s important to know the pharmacology of that drug so you can let the doctor know so they can prescribe something that will work.…
