RPh on the Go

Travel involved most of the time, but they pay $0.50/ mile for distances over 30 miles one way.Their largest client is Target which only has 4 stores in the greater Dayton area. The bulk of the assignments as a relief pharmacist are in the Columbus area which has about 13 stores. The remaining assignments are with several small independent pharmacies scattered across southwestern Ohio and most are owned by REM which is the parent company of Miami-Luken Wholesalers. The hardest part of the job is learning the different computer systems in use at the different locations. The technician help at most locations and make this part of the job much easier. The management of RPh on the Go has always treated me fairly.

Assignments good when available.  Staffing depends on the employer, so it's not an issue with RPhOTG, but their client employers.  If they had adequate staff, they wouldn't need agency staff supplementation.  Compensation level over the past 2 years, but OK for the area. Manager very supportive and helpful, both in finding and assessing possible placements before proceeding.

Client employers & staff appreciate your being there, as it's most often to fill a staffing gap. Their jobs would be much harder without you.  If they are very stressed, you may be subject to similar conditions, but need to remember you are the solution to their problem.

Nice to have an agency that offers benefits to its employees.

The majority of this assignment focused on "on boarding" new business, specifically, calling pharmacies around the country and transferring active prescriptions for our patients.  Then these prescriptions are given to the appropriate pod, entered into system, verified by pharmacist, and sent to distribution to be filled and sent out.  

I learned about the new technology to help patients.  The overall work environment is collaborative and positive.

This is a new, growing company with endless potential and possibilities for the future.

Interpret and enter in computer system the physician orders that come in electronically through the CPOE (computerized physician order entry) system, accurately pull and check orders printed out and then "tube"/send orders to floors.  Communicate with phsicians and nursing all day long regarding drug orders and other medication related issues such as dosing,interactions,etc. Manage pharmacy techs and check orders filled for patient carts (item by item) by a required deadline each day.

Outstanding and fun work place. Casual fridays. Opportunity to make excellent commission. Excellent mentors that are provided for you. Weekly meetings to keep everyone on track. You manage your own desk...no micro-managing here. Continual sales training. VP, GM, and Mentor have open door policy and they abide by it, 1 hr lunch, great sales incentives with weekly prizes, special incentives for top producers.

I have enjoyed the opportunity to travel to many locations.  The hardest part of the job is adjusting to new job environments and co-workers.  I have learned to adapt to many different types of pharmacies with varying pharmacist positions and needs.

The best part about my job was that I was able to grow and learn. I truly enjoyed working with my team, as they were very supportive. Together as a team we have accomplished many goals. I have learned the values of sales and great customer service, going above and beyond.  Working with clients was the part I really enjoyed. It always felt good to be able to help especially the last minute request, where at times it may seemed impossible.

The agency was placing me in Target pharmacies from Naples to Tampa to Orlando.  I am flexible and worked to fit into their work flow and not have the employees adjust to mine.  Most stores were busy and I worked well with management.  The most difficult part of the job was getting a call to cover a location in an hour and it would take 2 hours or longer to get to the destination.  Then the customers would look at me as if I was the problem and not the solution.  The most enjoyable part of the job was payday.

I would not recommend this company to any pharmacist. I believe that your license is extremely jeopardized by the fact that ancillary help is thin to non-existant. All you need is a phone ringing, someone at the out-window, and another patient waiting to get a flu shot, and you've got major stress.

Great company. The economy has made it difficult to get temp jobs, but when their client likes you you will be asked to return a lot. Great environment for interns. Diverse work locations and opportunity to gain communication skills and reinforce drug knowledge.  The staff is pleasant and professional.
