I do 90-95% of all the repackaging done in my department.

Name of Facility: PORTER

Years as a Buyer: 9+

In addition to my buying, I do the auto-stop notices and ED Pyxis dispensation reconciliation. I may also start doing some med rec in the ED...

I've actually moved the daily order to a technician to free up some of my time to do more clinical things. It's work the pharmacists didn't like to do (too time consuming) and it helps me clinically while I'm in nursing school, so it's a win-win for everyone.
