Learning About A Pharmacist

This week we had a live interview with Samantha. That's right in our class room! Samantha went to Southern Illinois in Edwardsville. She wanted to become a pharmacist because she was good at math and science.  Samantha works as a pharmacist at St. Mary's Hospital in Illinois. Her job is like a safety officer because nurses and doctors call her and she  picks the right medicine so patients become healthy again. We also learened that she needs to stay calm,because if she give a paitent the wrong medicine something can happen. So like if she gets frustrated and mess up some medicine that is a big deal, because that may be the wrong thing for the patient. And the patient can overdose. That's what I learned about a pharmacist and I hope you learened a lot too.

She is a Associate Director of Student Media. She works with college students. Her job is to critique the students work in the newspaper.
