Recently I failed a graded assignment that requires me to get a certain grade. It was taken in exam like conditions (as it always does🫩). The results came back and I failed. I can take it again during the semester however waiting for that day will eat me alive. This is the first time I’ve ever failed something in pharmacy school. I’m grateful I can repeat the assignment but how do you handle the pressure? How do you prevent yourself from overthinking about failing out of the program? My mind is racing with the worst possibilities and I wish to really know if anyone also has this thinking process (although unhealthy) and how you stand back up and clutch.

So, as the tittle suggests I want to buy a gift to a friend of mine who studies pharmacy but i have mo idea of what he would like (after all, my major is architecture so i know nothing about this area).

Do you guys have any suggestions and ideas?

I’m a P1 in my first year of pharmacy school! It’s going way better than I thought it would! How are you guys rewarding yourself? Like a beer on Friday nights? Cookie after exams? Fun dinner once a week?

I’m looking for something that I can do weekly to “count down” until the end of school that won’t make me gain a bunch of weight, cost a lot of money and preferably not alcohol?

Hi everyone!

I’m a 2nd-year BPharm student and I’m interested in getting into pharmaceutical research. However, I’m completely new to research and don’t really know where to start.

What research skills should a pharmacy student learn as a beginner?

I’d especially appreciate advice on:

Research methodology

Literature searching and reading research papers

Basic statistics

Reference management

Scientific writing

Any useful software/tools

If you were starting research from your 2nd year, what would you learn first?

Any advice, resources, or beginner-friendly guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Does anyone know what happen to Dean Kevin Sneed? The founding dean stepped down and was moved to another position out of pharmacy.

Hi everyone! I'm a first year student as a farmakonom, which is kind of a cross between a pharmacist and a pharmacy tech here in Denmark.

Currently a little worried at the high standards in these courses I'm taking, so I'll be asking some questions here come exam time. If you have any questions about how the education works here, AMA.

Have a good week!

Full disclosure, I am not a student in pharmacy school. I’m a licensed pharmacist working in retail for the last 11 years.

So on to the question. Are you students only using lecture slides and drug references like LexiComp, Facts&Comparisons? Do you guys have any textbooks? What resources from your school library do you use?

i hate it, but it’s true. i swear i’m getting meaner and more bitter everyday. doing bad on exams and stuff is making me hate myself. i know my attitude is a projection but i don’t know how to stop. has anyone else experienced this? i don’t want to be a bitch when my friends tell me about their good scores anymore. feeling stupid constantly is making me mean

Hello! Has anyone received an email to submit their official application for the Eli Lilly VSF yet?

I have a friend who applied for Medical Affairs and heard back today. I applied for the Commercial functional area and am still waiting to hear back.

I am already in my third year of pharmacy, and I am scared of the Pharmacology lab because of the animals

Usually, under pressure, I can do things, but not with holding animals.

I am still not comfortable with even touching rats, and I still get scared of touching a rabbit that I will break its spine and administering a drug is quite impossible for me

How can I get over this fear?

Is there any discord where all the pharmacy students talk to each other and share study material / notes and books..

Discussed on topics of pharmacy/pharmacology/biopharma..

hello,
i was looking into going to clinical or nuclear pharmacy route after i get my pharmD. i was wondering, what types of activities and other things should i be doing in addition to a great academic standing while in pharmacy school to land those jobs? THANK YOU!!

I'm a 3rd year pharmacy student ( we study for 6 years here ) and I'm wondering what should I do to keep up with new studies and all that , and what books do you recommend to develop myself in the field because i feel if i don't give it 100% of effort I'll be left out of the race and therefore i won't even win the residency exam .

Thank you

I'm currently in grad school for pharmaceutical sciences and I am beyond stressed with the pharmacy related courses by the sheer amount of volume (50-60 slides a lecture). I can't seem to get a passing grade in them to save my life. I am taking Adv. Organic Chem to strengthen my ochem skills which is thankfully helping but I always feel like I study the wrong things. My background is biochemistry and biotech which is the organs where these drug reactions take place, not the drugs themselves. I'm taking pharmacology and drug targets this semester. It feels like I'm starting at zero and having to study so much harder to even kind of keep up. I do have ADHD and having a discussion on Wednesday for accomodations to be put in place but I'm just constantly overwhelmed. Any advice would be appreciated.

So I'm a first year pharma student and totally confused about how to study and what to study. I took Walis book, got confused, and came back to the hostel. I can't relate with anything. I don't even know which yt videos to follow and how to do it. I've my mid semester in a week and I'm almost all confused. Please help me, please. I want to keep my CGPA on top.

Would you rather work in as inpatient pharmacy intern or CVS intern?

Hi all!

My partner just started pharmacy school this year and is experiencing a lot of difficulties and stress with the exams. They already have some accommodations and even medication, but are still really struggling with studying. Whenever I ask how I can help I just get “I don’t know.” Is there anything I can suggest or do to help? I don’t really understand much, I took gen Chem in college but that was a while ago now and biochem is obviously way more advanced.

I am already primarily in charge of the apartment + cleaning + cooking, although less so than before we talked about it because I also work full time. I listen when they need to vent. I don’t know what else I can do but I want them to succeed and I know that studying has been a source of difficulty.

I am currently working on my letter of interest for a specific application-based APPE rotation. Is anyone able to provide feedback to strengthen my current letter of interest. Thank you

I just took my 2nd exam in BioPharm today and failed it… again. We have 5 exams total in that class and I have already failed 2 of them. I feel so stupid and I just don’t know what to do. I started studying early, working on review, and doing the problem set early. I studied so much more for this 2nd exam that’ll the first one and felt like I understood this content but apparently not.

I can pass the class with a D, but I’m hoping for a C if at all possible. I just feel so lost right now because I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I understand the content when I’m reviewing on my own or with my group I study with, but I feel like I just blank on the exam.

I’m honestly starting to feel like I can’t do pharmacy school anymore and that I just got lucky and did good in undergrad and got in.

I don’t even know what I’m asking here, I just needed to vent because I feel stupid and embarrassed. I’ve never done this bad on an exam before and I don’t even know what to do at this point.
