Anyone who knows me personally knows that I’m currently struggling through my pharmacy licensing exams (I’m sitting my second round late next month).
\nI’ll be the first to admit that pharmacy (or the entire faculty of science for that matter) was never my strong suit
\nand it’s been a personal challenge beyond compare to pursue. It would take another long-winded rant to explain why I’ve chosen this path in the first place, but I’ll save that for another time.
\nAnyway, years of pharmaceutical academia has put my left brain under so much ‘unnatural’ strain and on top of current circumstances, I’m just about ready to collapse and cave in.<\/p>\n
Although it’s a tall order, as a pharmacy student I am prepared to educate myself on every nuance, side effect and interaction for every marketed drug out there – sure.
\nHowever, it doesn’t help that the PEBC licensing board writes the most manipulative and convoluted examinations that seem to be utterly impractical for pharmacy practise.
\nI mean come on. An exam that contains 300 questions, with a third of those questions being twisted, ungraded and “experimental”!?
\nThe examination is designed to use examinees as guinea pigs, not to prepare them for the professional workforce.<\/p>\n
Anyway, one thing I can be thankful for is the fact that pharmacy is, and never will be my central purpose in life.
\nWhile I have no qualms with and respect anyone whose life does revolve around the profession, that will never, ever, ever be me. Ever.<\/p>\n
If things finally start to align with this whole pursuit
\n(& despite my extensive whining, I am hoping this with every ounce of my being at the moment),
\nthere are things I am certainly looking forward to.<\/p>\n
