Fantastic Interview With Samantha!

This week we continued We've Got Our i's On Careers" project. Today I interviewed Samantha.When she was a little girl she was good at math and science that's why she chose to be a pharmacist. Samantha works as a pharmacist at St. Mary's Hospital. She went to SIUE (Southern Illinois University Edwardsville). She earned her Doctor Of Pharmacy degree. She have degrees in Biology and Medical Science. She live in Decatur IL and her type of degree is a Graduate Degree. She had to take specific classes in biology and Pharmacy School. She take orders from Doctors and Nurses. She is like a safety officer. She give her patients the right medicine so they can be healthy. She tells the nurses the safe mixture of different types of medicine. She have to double check her work.  She work as a team with another Pharmacist. There are two types of pharmacists retail and hospital.  She worked at Target  before she became a Pharmacist. She misses talking to her patients.  All medication in the hospital is her responsibility. She works the evening shift because the hospital is open 24 hours a day. Her first job of the day is to check and make sure the medicine that the technicians  is correct.  She needs to remember to stay calm so she doesn't makes  mistakes. She is a pharmacist of two areas. She said she knows nurses. I learned some new things,and I hope you learned new things to.

Who interviewed Jackie? Me!!!!!

My name is Melody this is my 9th person interviewing!  Jackie went to the University of South Carolina. Scott was her inspiration to become a college journalist. Jackie is a journalist at Clemson, SC college.  Part of her job is to critique the students work  in the  newspaper. She had 4 people check over her work before .  She said if she wanted a new job she would be a home mom,and if that doesn't  work she would be a baker. Jackie said she had to triple check her work.  She said she likes working with college students because they are fun and interesting. She self reviews her own blog like we do. She said the college students are  fun because they are learning and growing. She also said they are learning about themselves and the world.  Reviewing your work is very important. Sometimes your first idea is not your best idea.  When you publish something that is incorrect it is hard to get it back,and your reputation could be damaged. It is really important that your work is true before you publish your work. Her advice for her students was to reread their work,and ask themselves how do they know it?  She thinks we should find a mentor in college. I can't wait to interview someone else.
