Distress at local store.

Thursday night, at a local business in Pueblo, there was an incident that would leave anyone feeling exposed. The night started out with the victim, who will be referred to as Miss. Davis. She needed to find a swimsuit for an upcoming vacation, she entered the fitting room with a friend, and they were laughing and having a good time. When the victim’s friend left to get a different size, Miss Davis noticed movement under one of the walls, she saw a phone being pulled back. She noticed someone peeping at her, in a place that  it is a fitting room, and the assumption is that a fitting room is suppose to be a space where a person can go and feel safe while trying on clothes That night, the rules were broken, someone’s space was invaded. The manager over the apparel department was immediately notified, he then went to the back found the lost prevention manager, and they both went into the camera room to watch the tape of the incident, they had a bit of a challenge because there are no cameras directly in that area because they are giving the customers their privacy. They did see the Peeping Tom though, they sprang into action trying to find him. The latest news is that they have not found the suspect but they are turning it over to the police.

Local Spotlight





     I chose to interview Nancy, a Pueblo native, she went to Centennial High School and then went on to SCSC, which is now CSU Pueblo. She had an interest in the Healthcare profession and also in Chemistry, thus the logical area of study she pursued was in medicine, and more specifically, pharmacy. While in college she received an internship at St. Mary Corwin, and once she graduated she was given a full time job there. Afterwards, Nancy moved on to a retail pharmacy, a Nursing home pharmacy. Later she moved to working at Wal-Mart where she became Lead Pharmacist. While interviewing Nancy, she said that being a pharmacist is perfect for a mom because she can work more flexible hours, she also likes the evolution of the Pharmaceutical Industry, it started with the “Count, Pour, Lick and Stick” which was the old way that prescriptions were filled before we had the technology and computers that we have today, the education given to patients. Pharmacists now give immunizations, which she enjoys. Nancy is interesting to me because she is so knowledgeable in what she does ,and she seems to still enjoy it.

Nancy takes many phone calls during a day.

 
 
Here Nancy is counting out a medication that will
 be for a patient.


 


Here Nancy is giving an immunization, this is new to our
 Pharmacy but she already enjoys it.
