Position Paper
Job Description/Duties Responsibilities that I would have as a Pharmacist is fill medication bottle with the proper medicine needed for the patient. Some responsibilities that I like are that I get to help the people in need for medicine to feel better, what I dislike is the fact that if I don’t give the proper medication I would end up getting sued.
Personal Characteristics Needed Personal characteristics that I think would be needed to be happy and successful in becoming a Pharmacist are that I have to enjoy what I do. I have to be fast when it comes to serving the patients and I need to be social to them so they don’t see me as an anti-social Pharmacist who will just give you the medications then serve someone else. I would like to them and let them know that I’m very friendly and give the pharmacy a good name, knowing that we have a friendly service. There are times where I have to serious to make sure I don’t go off track on what I’m doing, so it’s all fun and games but I have make sure I don’t give the wrong medications to the patient.
Education Needed Specific high school classes that would benefit me for being prepared to become a Pharmacist are Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Computer class. After high school I would have to go to college for Pharmacy in which Rutgers University in New Brunswick offers the best Pharmacy course that I know of. Of there I can maybe have the person training and being able to know what I’m actually going to be doing when I gradate and become a Pharmacist.
Work Setting
The hours I would generally work in the Pharmacy is about 10 hours a day and my surroundings would be full of medicine bottles, fillers and a cash register so the customer pays for their medication from there. There is a possibility that I would be traveling for business reason because they would have conventions where they may introduce new medicines. What I might dislike about my work setting is that I’m stuck in a rectangle
