Work Experience
Nov 2014 – Jan 2021, Providence Health, Washington, St. Peter Hospital, staff pharmacist
Six years clinical experience working with Epic software in a 390 bed hospital. I have previously worked overnight shift, a week at a time, on about a dozen occasions, including six weeks of 7 on 7 off. During these shifts, I was the only pharmacist in the hospital. I worked with epic filters set to have the verification queue open for multiple hospitals. I can verify 100 orders/hour with a brief clinical review of each patient. My previous shift and preference was eves, but I can serve when and where you have a need. Providence trains ten pharmacists each year in residency. I have spent many shifts training residents and students, though not as formal preceptor.

Recruiter,
As a student, I did an ED rotation and ICU rotation at St. Peter hospital in Olympia WA. After I graduated, the manager of the pharmacy hired me as a per diem pharmacist. This was unusual for a hospital that trains ten residents each year to hire a new grad. The manager, Mike Marr, since resigned, recognized me as someone he wanted on the team. I am a team player, builder, strengthener. Working per diem I averaged 38 hours/week the first year. They used me to plug holes in the schedule and cover sick calls; I never said ‘no’. I will be a positive influence on morale and the culture of the pharmacy and hospital.
In my opinion, nursing is the best measure of a hospital. Nursing is everything. Nurses are on the front line contributing to patient care, healing, recovery… nurses deliver the patient experience. The rest of us are there to support nursing. When nurses call pharmacy they should never be made to feel like their call is a nuisance. I don’t time meds to be given at shift change. The nurses need this time for a good pass-off to the next shift. I will teach the nurses some of the epic tricks I have learned, and they will love it. My typical phone greeting is, “Pharmacist Dennis, how can I make your day?”. I have regularly had nurses say, 'oh, I'm glad it's you' …and I always end the call by telling them a quick joke, always clean, leave them laughing and smiling.
I will take starting wages. I am happy to be in the first quarter of pay range. I want to be a good value for my employer. What you need is more important than what I want. What shift/schedule will help the hospital and pharmacy? I can do days or eves and some weekends, full time, part time, per diem. In six years they scheduled me as the overnight pharmacist (the only pharmacist in the hospital) for a week at a time about ten times. I prefer to not work nights, but I can in a pinch. I love working eves.
If you use epic, my training is done. I will be productive in the first 15 minutes.
I will adjust to the procedures/methods/culture of my employer.
Not formally as a preceptor, but I have spent many shifts training residents and students.
We left WA for political reasons. It is getting way too liberal there. We chose Oklahoma to be in the bible belt in a more conservative state, and my wife didn't want to go somewhere cold.
If you get a chance call Danny Veenhouwer of my references, 360-***-****. He replaced Mike Marr. I asked him if there was anything in my resume that he was uncomfortable confirming. His reply was to recommend adding my publication, and six years experience using epic in a 390 bed hospital.
