Thanks You'll need to just register just the one time when you're a student. Once you become licensed as a pharmacist, you'll need to renew your license annually, and will need to possess active CPR and First Aid and malpractice insurance and will need to complete continuing education credits before you're able to do so. concrete_pinata 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun444 Posted August 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Thanks for the constant engagement on this forum everyone. As we’re nearing orientation and the beginning of classes, I am thinking of creating a group chat on snap or whatsapp, whatever app people prefer. You all have essentially been the first people I’ve engaged with as we start with this journey. It helps having people on our finger tips during this time and with this term being online I’d like to have all of you around so we can struggle through these 4 years together. If this is something ppl are interested please let me know!! ProspectPharmD, peasinpods, .pharmstudent and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_rixx_96 Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Hey y'all, I wish I discovered this forum sooner! Better late than never lol. Anyone know the difference between the regular lab coats and the "L" lab coats? Trying to determine how long the regular lab coats are compared to the long.

"L" refers to long and is about proportions. If you have longer limbs than your proportions would suggest or if you're a taller person (+6') then the L version size is probably the way to go. _rixx_96 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if we can reorder if we end up getting a wrong size? :/ In previous years, they let students try on jackets before ordering, which is what I was hoping for considering the inconsistency in my size.

boop Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Has anyone done their PIC yet? I'm looking at the online application forum for EPS and it lists the PIC and vulnerable sector as one check, can anyone confirm that this is the right one? Also for fist aid, should we be picking emergency or standard? or does it matter? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also for fist aid, should we be picking emergency or standard? or does it matter? Thanks! For the PIC, if i remember correctly, you want to get the one that is the combined PIC + VSC. You don't want to do the option that is backcheck only because you'll end up paying twice since you'll still need a VSC for the faculty (ACP only requires a backcheck, but the faculty needs a VSC as well). Remember that both the ACP and the faculty need it, so I suggest giving it to the faculty first so they can photocopy it for their records and then give you the original back to give to ACP (not sure if they're going to have you guys send in everything online this year so just follow how they want you to do it this year I guess). As for first aid/CPR (again, if I remember correctly) either emergency or standard is fine. The one a lot of our class did last year is the standard first aid which includes AED and CPR level C. You can get this completed now if you want, but in the past years the class rep usually arranges for the class to get this done together some time during the year since you don't need it until your rotations start (its a fun bonding opportunity and group rates for a class end up being cheaper sometimes). Last year, we split our class into two groups and did the training over two weekends, but I'm not sure how it'll work for you guys this year with everything going on. I do suggest just waiting out on it until the faculty/your class rep has more information about it! trienebutdiene 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes out as one, you just have to indicate that you work with Children, elderly and disabled to get the PIC + VSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
