What I did not know, though, was that it was not going to be as simple as I believed. Unfortunately, I was not able to acquire a spot on the team. Getting cut from the soccer team made me realize several things: I was not as good as I believed, you must work hard/put in the effort in order to be…

Have you ever woken up one morning to discover that you are all congestion, you’re running a fever, and you need medicine ASAP. Yet the convenience store at your school is closed and you don’t want to walk to Walgreens when it’s 17 degrees out. My partners and I discovered that this was a common problem that all of us have encountered many times since we started our college careers at Drake University. In order to provide a solution for this problem, the idea of MedMachine was born. Our…

Kroger also faces higher labor costs and increased labor risks than the three competitors in this analysis (Walmart, Target, Walgreens) due to the presence of a union, which none of the other three competitors must deal with (2016 Form10-K, p. 4).

I loved being in the Walgreens Pharmacy and learning everything about being a pharmacist. Seeing the Pharmacist counsel patients made a big impact on me. I saw the Pharmacist teach the patients how to properly use their medication, which is imperative. The Pharmacist spoke compassionately…

You can be driving by one day, not having any intentions of stopping when suddenly you see the palm trees, Winn Dixie, and Walgreens, then you know the Dunkin Donuts is coming right up and you can’t help but stop and grab a…
