hi there ,
well u were lucky that u were expected to do jobs pertaining to that of pharmacist well during my internship i was expected to clean the toilets and clean the shelves with a duster so it was a good exp i would say in a few months i might get an offer as a PIC (mangaer which si wht its called in some states) so all that exp helped me in understanding how to use the tech help the best possible ways and since i have done it before i myself can do it and set up an example to the techs and interns that this could be one of my expectations as a manager or PIC that is how atleast i would look at it
i would like to qote onething pls folks remember we (all international students or phamracist) are sometime or other need to think that we might be thought to be a second class and we should be open to outperform others which can put us in much better psoition when compared with the US grads pharm D well once again this is just my opinion and way of thinking (its always good to take things in a positive light rather tahn the other way round it surely helps u in long run )
and not to forget by saying so pls do not think that i am being biased or blah blah... i totally understand ur concerns and ur situation but this is how we can outshine and show our true caliber of managing diff attributes connected with the retail pharmacy this can give u more oppurtunity to develop ur relations with the patients and when u are licensed u have already done ur ground work that ur patients trust u and u donn have to work hard on that part of it and as far as NAPLEX goes trust me it will surely help u u might think it might now but on personla exp. i can tell u that it will help u in things like drug drug interactions or drug-food interactions or drug-OTC interactions and on ur communication skills esp ppl like us (foreign grads ) are very very poor on this part of retail pharmacist duty so my friend be positiv eand and tek it in ur stride and i am sure that u will be a great pharmacist right form the day u get licensed
so cheer upa nd good luk and iwill keep u in my prayers its goign tobe great after u get u licensed trust me
good luck
