Privacy Please.

So, I have not started my new job yet. Maybe next week. Maybe the week after that. It turns out you have to jump through a lot of hoops and over a lot of hurdles to be able to work in a hospital pharmacy (they even light one on fire before you jump through). I won't bore you with all of them, but I will tell you about what I had to do this morning. I went up to St. Vincent cause they needed me to fill out some paperwork for a background check (as if I haven't already had four or five done since I started p-school...you think they would have found out if I was naughty by now). Then I had to go up to employee health for a drug screening among other health related things. Now here is where it gets out of control. I was required to let the nurse watch me pee into the cup!! Some of you may be saying big deal, but bathroom time for me is private time and I didn't enjoy sharing this moment with some random lady. And, of course I couldn't go cause she was sitting there watching me the whole time so it took like five whole minutes. It's not like I'm gonna smuggle in some pee to take the place of my own, but I guess they have a problem with that and that is why they have to watch. I'm just glad I didn't get hired to watch people pee everyday.
Oh well, now it's off to the nuclear pharmacy down the road to take a tour for one of my classes. Hopefully I won't glow when I'm done. (Really though. It's pretty safe.)
