Today was another milestone for me. I was granted access to our pharmacy computer system and given my own pharmacist password, which means my initials now appear on prescription bottles as the pharmacist who signed off on the medication. The first prescription I dispensed 100% completely on my own without anyone to check my work was for Cipro (complete with a four-star counseling session ;) ). Afterwards....
Kristan: Look at you! You did it! How does it feel?
Me: It feels like I want to throw up.

The pin in the picture above was given to me on my wedding day by Mike's great Uncle John. Uncle John became a pharmacist over 50 years ago (and still practices to this day!) and at the time he became registered he received this pin, which he has graciously passed along to me. With it he gave me this note:
Amanda:
I hope you won't mind if I use this occasion to pass this small tribute on to another pharmacist.
This pin was given to me over 50 years ago as a new pharmacist.
So I wish for you to have it to keep the tradition going in your pharmacy career. Good luck and keep those pills rollin'.
Best wishes,
Uncle John, RPh
