"This bill, instead, would authorize a pharmacist to administer drugs and biological products that have been ordered by a prescriber"
NO. I don't want to administer meds to patients. This job belongs to RN and LVNs. This job is below me
."The bill would authorize pharmacists to perform other functions, including, among other things, to furnish self-administered hormonal contraceptives, nicotine replacement products, and prescription medications not requiring a diagnosis that are recommended for international travelers, as specified."
NO! I don't want to be more responsible for things that I am not even remotely interested into
"Additionally, the bill would authorize pharmacists to order and interpret tests for the purpose of monitoring and managing the efficacy and toxicity of drug therapies, and to independently initiate and administer routine vaccinations, as specified"
This part is okay
." This bill also would establish board recognition for an advanced practice pharmacist, as defined, would specify the criteria for that recognition, and would specify additional functions that may be performed by an advanced practice pharmacist, including, among other things, performing patient assessments, and certain other functions, as specified. The bill would authorize the board, by regulation, to set the fee for the issuance and renewal of advanced practice pharmacist recognition at the reasonable cost of regulating advanced practice pharmacists pursuant to these provisions, not to exceed $300."
WTF? NO, I don't wanna do assessments. If I want , I would have gone to med school becoming an MD. And what's up with the fee not exceed $300? Why not $30,000? So NO, I don't wanna touch anyone.
Seriously, I feel sick of the so-called "MTM" cool-aid that professors have been preaching for years and years but nothing actually happens. We don't need MTM ! MTM has not been successful and never will be!!!! PERIOD!
Btw, it's sadden to see some pharmD students excited about giving flu shots to patients. To them, it's like "Wow!!! I can give flu shots to patients". PLease please!!!! This is nothing to be excited about. This is the NURSE's JOB. Nurse's job is below me! PERIOD!
