The horrendous Dispensing and compounding!


OMG! i so hate dispensing and compounding! Evry fortnight on wednesdays the cycle repeats where we spent late nights reading up on dispensing notes and the reference book and basically prepare ourselves mentaly and physically! the lab session is just nerve wrecking! we would be given a prescription and we're suppose to check the incompatibility, dosage n do the calculations n make the drug all within an hour individually without talking! people rushing up n out trying to complete making their drugs...its just like in being in ' Hell's Kitchen' with Mr. Jony our lecturer as Chef Gordon Ramsey and of course minus the foul language! haha. The final outcome of it utter disappointment- ZERO MARKS! *screams* for even the slightest mistake. yesterday i had the worse lab session ever. i was completely dumbstruck. i had no idea what to do when i was given the prescription as suddenly evrything looked completely alien to me. i stared at the piece of paper for almost 10mins of my precious time not knowing what to do. we had to make an emulsion for the treatment of psoriasis n there was a few methods to make it. i panicked as i watched some of my classmates starting to weigh their ingredients. i managed to figure something out and scribbled some calculations on my lab report and started weighing my ingredients n measuring evrything. feeling quite satisfied with myself, i mix my ingredients in my mortar and pestle and started mixing vigorously. after sometime, i realised my emulsion was jus not turning the way it should. a flash of panic. threw it away and redid the whole thing. still no avail. in the end i just poured what ever i made into the bottle, fumbled with my label and passed up my lab report half blank as my time was up. it was a disaster. but it turns out only 5 students got the method right out of the whole lab of 35 ppl. the rest of us...the lovely ZERO!
im so desperate to pass this subject! totally not a fun subject to repeat!
GOD PLS HELP ME!
