    I can confirm that the thought of schols rarely leaves my mind :P I figure I'll be well prepped for the annuals anyway even if I don't think I'll get them :)

    Hey guys, sorry for bugging ye with questions but am in leaving cert and considering pharm. I love chemistry, especially organic and the course content sounds cool. The only thing is if I do pharmacy I have no interest in being a retail pharmacist, I think I'd prefer either a hospital pharmacist or do research. Is this a really bad attitude to go into this course with, did anyone here go into pharmacy unsure only to discover they love it? Any advice or info appreciated!

    I think I'm the only one on 4th year who really wants to work in community!:pac:
    So you'll be fine.
    If your considering going into research/industry trinity really is the place to be for pharmacy.

    Not everyone wants to be a community pharmacist (not retail pharmacist, this isn't America :p )

    It's perfectly fine. Community Pharmacy isn't for everyone and there are plenty of other options.

    Missing out on the mystery tour :O Any advice going into the final month before schols? Particularly studying for Fabio's stuff? I'll probably only take 2 or 3 days off at Christmas.

    Mystery tour involved me leaving the foundry in Carlow after 5 minutes then spending the next hour and a half walking around Carlow trying to find the foundry.
    I Remember trying to get on the maynooth engineering bus.
    Oh and getting out of the taxi after the bus journey.
    So I don't know how I ended up back in dublin that night! :pac:

    One of this year's Freshers ended up waking up in Waterford (where we went in the end)! I possibly didn't make that much of a good impression either :pac::pac:

    Any tips for the PH2003 practical exam? Is it just identifying various parts of plants and the plants themselves?

    Yep!
    Quigleys is a titration and fabio you have 3 or 4 parts of a plant to identify.
    Very easy but made out to be really daunting.

    Thanks! Are the parts fairly obvious? Just typical parts like the stomata, trichomes etc.?

    Yeah there's usually at least 3 easily identifiable structures like trichomes/stomata. It's when it comes to telling apart parenchyma, collenchyma and all those other "bulk" tissues that it gets difficult.

    Don't worry about it, both practical tests for PH2003 are easy.

    Probably the most dispiriting PoP tutorial I've ever been at.

    Anyone going into community pharmacy: you're ****ed.

    I'm totally unsuited for it (and I'm first to admit that).

    The reference pricing, generic substitutions and the fact they've gotten rid of the mark-up for the schemes are really going to drive income down.

    Nah 30k on an MBA or 30K towards my own company...

    I had planned to do an MBA 3 years after my degree was finished but then realised I actually like community pharmacy and stubborn patients:P

    I'd have to start studying before I could attempt a question!:/
    Feckin lack of time and too much to do.

    You may as well start into the papers. The Pharmacy and Medicines Law book is handy for it. The one thing that it doesn't cover though is clinical trials legislation and I think that might come up as an essay.
