What a pleasure listening to someone who loves what they do and understands the impact they have in their role.

You are what the young kids call "goals". Beautiful and smart, hardworking and humble ❤️thanks for sharing

I'm in community college right now hoping to become a pharmacist eventually. I have a VERY long way to go, and do get pretty discouraged at times, but I really believe Pharmacy is for me. Your videos about school, and now this one, kind of help me destress. For that alone, I am grateful for your advice & insight ☺️

Love you Jenn!! I've been watching you since you got accepted to Pharmacy school!! You have such a strong work ethic. Congratulations on all of your success!

Awesome Video! I was a nursing major because I wanted to be in the healthcare field but like you I really didn't want to get my hands dirty but I still stayed on that path. I worked as a cashier at a retail store and decided that being a pharmacy tech could be a smart choice because I would have to know different medicines as a nurse so I applied to be moved into the pharmacy and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me as far as my schooling and career path goes. I quickly fell in love with the job and caught myself wanting to learn more and more about drugs and how they work in the body to help people. My problem was that I wanted to be a pharmacist so bad but I didn't feel like it was possible because of different situations in my life. Luckily I have a great wife that reminds me every single day that I can become a pharmacist and that I am not excluded. So I have changed my major and my pharmacist I work with and my parents all support me everyday and tell me that I will make a great pharmacist. So that is my story but I just wanted to say thank you for these videos. You are truly an inspiration to me and I would love to learn more about your experiences in pharmacy school. You have totally gained a subscriber here! Thank you!

Congratulations! I have been a pharmacist for 6 years now but have decided to go to med school next year. Community Pharmacy is great but not challenging enough does get a bit boring.

Love your attitude & outlook! About to start my P1 year, and I totally love your positive perspective on pharmacy. I hope I can show the same positivity when I become a licensed pharmacist. Congrats on all your accomplishments!

I’m an elementary ed major, idk why I’m watching this but I enjoyed it lol!

I'm not in the US so it is interesting to hear what pharmacy shifts are like. I've been a tech for almost 9 years and do 9-6 mon-fri. I wish we had shifts where hours are like yours. I usually have to fit in as much as I can at weekends and holidays to get things done.

I love this video! I'm starting my fourth year of pharmacy school in August and I've recently been thinking about what it will be like after graduation, especially in respect to being younger than the techs. You give such great advice!

I'm so glad I found your channel! You put the retail setting in a positive light, which made me think twice that it isn't bad at all to work in that area. I hope all the pharmacists think that way, so they won't have to lash out on you every friggin time lol. I guess, they're just stressed out because they always have the final say and they will be reliable for whatever happens in the pharmacy.

So glad to hear you love your job and work environment! I'm currently a tech in a retail pharmacy so I totally understood everything you were talking about!! Also I'm starting pharm school this fall '17 and you've got me so much more excited and eager to start! 😊😊

Omg i love the schedule. Thats what excites me the most. A stable job with set hours and you just go home.

Been working retail pharmacy at CVS for 2+ years and soon entering pharmacy school. Your so insightful, glad your enjoying your work. I also love retail pharmacy

I watched your video last year when I was applying for pharmacy school and it really helped boosting my confidence for interview and this video has described exactly what I've been through as pharmacy intern in community settings. I really like your videos and hope to see more video on your thoughts as a pharmacists.

As a P1, I really liked this video and your perspective on retail pharmacy. I feel like there is a lot of hate towards retail so I appreciate your input!

Hi!! I loooove this video so much that I just shared it with my pharmacy school friends! I am about to graduate this May and just got an offer from a local community pharmacy. I am excited but also scared to work as a pharmacist but your video really helps me to understand whats going to be my life in a few months! Well thank you and hope to hear more of your pharmacy stories~

Hi Jenn, I'm currently thinking about pursuing a pharmacy degree and my question is; how did you pay for school? Paying for pharmacy school is my biggest concern right now, I would love to hear any advice you have on this subject. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it really helps to listen to someone who has already graduated and has entered the field. I hope all is well, and thanks in advance for any advice you may have!

Totally understand when you said working in the real world after grad school is tough in the beginning. Though I don't work in the pharmacy field, I work in psychiatry. I can admit that when I first started doing real clinical work it was tough 'cause it's so diff from school. I'm glad to hear you are liking your job. Oh and I agree. The whole 9-5 hrs suck. I started w/ that the first 6 months at my current job and it was torture given the commute and traffic. So I work diff hours now. Either start early and end early or start late and end late. Still not an early bird, but it still beats the 9-5 work hours. Thanks for sharing!

The way you explained it sums up exactly why I want to be a retail pharmacist! I'm starting the second year of pre pharmacy so hopefully I get there

i graduated in 2015 too! so cool to watch your channel. i worked in retail during the 6 years i was in school and then did a pgy1 in managed care and now i work in managed care/managed markets

"it helps my day go by faster" lmao sounds like you love your job

Thank you for sharing this! I'm a P2 and looking forward to finishing school and working!!

Thank you for sharing!!! I just finished my P1 year, and I am so glad to hear a testimonial from a new(ish) pharmacist! I'm starting my IPPE rotations next month, do you have any advice?!

thanks so much for sharing jen! pharmacists do different things here in my country and its always so interesting to know what other ppl do for a living

So happy for you! This was interesting, you learn something new everyday

I watched you grow here in YT and I'm one of your oldie but a goodie subbie🙋🏻 and you inspired me a lot to start my own channel and thanks for being a good inspiration and keep your videos coming❤️😘

Congrats! I dropped out of pharmacy school back in 2006 after my P3 year at Texas Tech to pursue entrepreneurship. I love being an entrepreneur because I have the freedom to travel 12 months of the year. Keep putting up content for others to see. Go!!!

this gave me such a new perspective on pharmacy, thank you!!

By grace I'm hoping to start studying pharmacy next year and will probably graduate at 26 so I'm happy that it won't be too late as I always thought it would. Thank you for sharing this.

Hey this video was very helpful in preparing for what I am going to be looking forward to in the future!

Congratulations on finishing school! So happy for you!!!

Congrats on all your success!

I love your confidence! & Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 💖

Hi Jenn! i am also planning to become a Pharmacists and thank you for making these videos! My most concern that you haven't talked about is your financial problems. During pharmacy school, did you have a job that helped pay for your living costs or did you stay at home and commute back to pharmacy school? I don't know if during my four years of pharmacy school how i would finance myself if I plan to move to an area closer to the school. Thank you!

A lot of pharmacist love floating because they have no responsibility...floating is great because you leave at the end of the day and don't really care because it's not your store lol but it's good to have a pharmacy family as we say

I was an RXM for Walgreens for 14 years. The time flew faster than a jet

Really good video, thanks for sharing your experience!

Great video! I'm currently about to start the application process to get into pharmacy school. Is your schedule easily adjustable? Meaning if you currently work 3 days and get a day off, could you change it to working 3 weeks and getting a week off? Also who sets your schedule initially? Is it your employer or yourself? I apologize if these are silly haha

Congratulations!! I was previously set for a pharmacy major but it seemed too complex for me but wow, much props to you! Also, I was wondering if you're wearing your illamasqua foundation still to this day? What shade are you also in?

Thanks for being so informative!

LOVE UR VIDEOS doing my pcat next year to get into pharmacy wish me luck

Hi Jenn, Love your personality Jenn. I have been watching you before you started pharmacy school. I am a pharmacist myself so I understood everything you were talking about. I have a quick question. I am so tempted to buy the Valentino slingback shoes. I remember you had done a video in the past. How's the wear and tear on those shoes and where did you purchase them from because I like the monotone color too?

Could u make another video about pay/loans and how it is financially while you are paying your loans

could you please share with us weather you love pharmacy? and what do you love about it?

love the vid content. i like your style as well. can you do a video about pharmacist workwear style? i wear dansko clogs to work for comfort but is there any other shoe that is comfortable all day long yet stylish? maybe tips on where you shop for workwear?

Congrats! I'm just a few weeks away from concluding my P3 year and going onto rotations, but I'm still so nervous. I thought I would feel much better after completing all my didactic courses but I still don't know what I want to do with my degree. What helped you decide to do retail as oppose to a residency/ did you feel confident in your decision? What community pharmacy do you work at and in what state? also how did you study for the NAPLEX?

I love watching your videos!! While in school, were you were interested in residency? How did you know you wanted to go into retail?

I came across your video about getting into pharmacy school last summer when I made the decision to change careers. I was pursuing a masters in psychology but I decided to switch because doctorate programs are ridiculously competitive (more than medical school) and I've worked in pharmacy for 5 years. I got so excited when I saw this in my feed and I love the advice you give. But I do have one question, what made you decide to go to the pharmacy school you went to? I'm school shopping right now and it's so hard to discern which schools may be the best for me apply to. Thanks so much and congratulations on all your successes!

I got accepted into pharmacy school. I am worried about employment saturation

I love the details you put into these videos. All the information. Please answer this: is it really saturated to the point there’s no room to be a pharmacist anymore? (I’m commenting this only partial way in so if you do answer in this video please ignore but if not then please do answer)

Hi, I'm currently a p4 on rotations, and I'm actually at a retail store now and I like it for some of the reasons you mentioned in this video, however I am sooooooo overwhelmingly terrified when it comes to over the counter medication counseling... I feel that its just so much out there that you have to consider before recommending a product and its a lot of pressure to answer a question on your feet...how did you overcome this starting off?

Im a tech and i just started working in retail from a specialty pharmacy/mail order. I love how my pharmacist pretty much knows all the patient! Its very diff from my other job. Ugh dr that writes random rx 🙄

I really want to be a pharmacist when i'm old enough ☺️ i want to start right away! 😊

Hi, I am a pharmacy student who is currently doing APPE rotations. How did you prepare for Naplex and when was the best time to apply for jobs?

How many weeks of vacation you can have per year?

Hello where did you graduated? I also graduated pharmacy and currently waiting for my board exam here in PH

Where do you work? Love the videos, very helpful

I want to apply to med school but now im possibly considering pharmacy...just looking into it. Can anyone tell me the worst parts about it?

woooow Jenn ^_^ you are really amazing? I have been watching form the beginning of your journey in pharmacy major.. I'm a new graduated pharmacist and I'd like to know what certificates I can take that make me special when applying for a job? i really wanna know please. which you all the best for your future

So glad l found thischannel

Hello

What degree did you chose ? Only phramD or with MBA ? And do you own a pharmaceutical store ?

Very relatable

Does pharmacist can prescribe medicine in North America?

Hello. Thank you for your tip and reaching out to the community. I would be taking the Boards hopefully this coming January 2018. I live in Orange County, Ca and I was wondering where I can find people studying for the NAPLEX so we can build a study group. Also, I graduated from pharmacy school in 1998 but stopped practicing for over 8 years due to raising kids. Would you recommend anything different since I am not a recent grad? I bought the Rx prep book but its so daunting so I am thinking of buying the Pronto flash cards and posters. Do you think it would help me too?

I will be starting pharmacy school in August! Excited, but I'd like to know did you work while you were in pharmacy school? If so, could you do a video on the pros and cons of working while in pharmacy school. Tips on how to manage school and work. I currently work as a technician and I want to transfer to the area where my school is located and become an intern when I get my license. I'm just nervous about it all.

This was interesting to hear. I want you to be my pharmacist! I'm in DFW too. ;)

Hi! Iam a pharmacy student in my second year, and honestly I feel like biochemistry is not that fun to study and also Chemistry feels like boring sometimes. And that really freaks me out if i shoul continue in pharmacy or change education. but i am thinking that the job might be something different than school. do you advise me to continue in pharmacy if i do not really like bio Chemistry? and do you yourself enjoy studying bio chem ? Visa mindre Svara

what pharmacy school did you graduate from

I have a question, do i have to passed my board exam here to be a RPh, before i can take my NAPLEX exam there? Which country are you currently at?

how much money do managers make in this factor?

One day, you will make more money from making KZfaq like videos than working as pharmacist..!!! Your videos are really good and value added

Hello, I was accepted into a pharmacy program. Although I am excited to pursue pharmacy, the job saturation does worry me. Is it as big of an issue as so many people make it seem to be? I know it's not easy to find a job in this job market anyways, but considering the rigorous course work and expensive school costs, shouldn't pharmacist students have an easier time finding a job upon graduation?

What school did u attend?

im an international student id be happy if you could help me solve my issues?

Nice

Where do you work?

I think employers need to start scrutinizing over a graduate's experiences and school quality and not hire people who graduated from those pop-up schools with little to almost no pharmacy experience. The field is highly saturated, and it boggles my mind that nearly half or more of students never worked in a pharmacy and some never worked in their life.

Do I have to get a bachelors degree before entering a pharmacy school ?

Is there a lot of competition in the pharmacy career world?

Hello, I'm from india and this is my first year in pharmacy school, can you please help me to know the exact salary of registered pharamcy in usa... please help me, i am just stcuk in in over here, causes in other commercial website they do't have any specific answers

Do you work for CVS in Target? CVS makes you keep track of your customers and call them to check on them. I find it kind of creepy, I was like "Thanks... for remembering me?" Lol 😂 would you ever want to move to another state?

❤❤❤❤😮😮😮

If you are considering pharmacy, reconsider. With so many pharmacy schools opened and opening there is saturation. Coupled that with chains like CVS and Walgreens destroying the profession with their bottom line attitude.

Gorgeous girl !! my son is 25 ( grad from UH 3yrs ago - computer science major ) . Can he meet you ?? lol

8:08 #RapSongs haha wow LOL.

Too bad you can’t find jobs anymore.

Nice vid
