    Charlie, in your second year with the Quality Department I have seen you take initiative in the administrative part of the Quality Administrator job by pick up tasks that were handled by a previous team member, including bay set sheets, inspection data entry and DMR administration. You continue to show that you can effectively support the manufacturing lines working on 2nd shift by responding to the teams when called upon in most cases.

    Dr. Johnson gave me a bag full of prescriptions and I used the Drug ID function on my Lexi-Comp to identify each vial. Close to the end of my shift, a nurse approached the pharmacy asking us to do a medication reconciliation on a patient who had recently been admitted to the floor. This had been his second time being admitted to the hospital in the last week so he was no stranger to the floor. Dr. Johnson explained to me that since he was a recent admit, she could print his past medication list from his last visit and we could use that as a guide for our reconciliation. When we entered the room, the patient seemed lethargic and confused, after introducing ourselves, I began the reconciliation process.…
