The
most difficult thing about trying to do so many assignments at once
is that each assignment is so different.
It requires you to completely change your way of thinking for each
one.
One minute I will be working on a marketing plan for a community
pharmacy, then studying the history of pharmacy from various websites,
then to the clinical pathology involving haematology!
My brain is getting a true workout!
The thing that really throws a spanner in the works is the beautiful
weather, and your friends having fun down at the beach!
As
you can guess, I am coming towards the end of the semester, and
there are a thousand things due. Honestly, most of the work is
quite interesting but I just find it so frustrating that all the
assignments seem to be due at the same time, when there was plenty
of time in the semester to space them all out.
I wish I had more time to spend on the assignments, so I could
do a better job, and then I would get a lot more out of it.
What
is helping one of my assignments for clinical practice is the
latest software I purchased for my Palm Pilot.
Every week, I have to work at a hospital pharmacy and write up
medication reviews.
I downloaded MIMS on PDA and Micromedex as well.
This has enabled me to quickly look up all the drugs when I am
at the placement site to check all the doses and indications to
make sure there are no major problems.
There is also MIMS Interactions.
This software allows you to enter all the drugs a patient is taking,
then, it calculates if there are any interactions, and gives you
recommendations too!
I believe eventually, all pharmacists will carry such electronic
devices with them all the time.
It is so convenient, fast, and fits into your pocket!
If anyone out there knows of any other great pharmaceutical software
available on PDA, I would be more than interested to find out
about it.
So,
today will it be study or beach ?????????
HA!
Realistically, I have no option!
