Still Writing

My exams are over and I am waiting on the results to find out if I am going to be a real pharmacist.  Today should be a relaxing Sunday, as I have nothing to study for and I am off of work.  Of course, things just never are that easy.  I find myself brainstorming for 2 articles that have deadlines fast approaching.  I'm now one month removed from pharmacy school and I still have academic-like projects on my plate.  Some of my friends might think, "You work for a retail community pharmacy, why are you writing papers?"  

Throughout my career I hope to fight the stigma that chain community pharmacists are just highly paid pill counters.  I plan to contribute to the profession on a regular basis, even if it means submitting a short article to a pharmacy magazine or journal.  My passion for this profession does not change because of my practice or because of the person who signs my paycheck.
