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.
