Happy May! As yesterday was decision day, I am now happily committed to Binghamton University to study biomedical engineering! #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

Today at my internship, I was able to make 3 suspensions drugs. The pharmacist watched as I weighed different substances, added chemicals, and properly packaged them with their prescription stickers. #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

Did you know they’re different types of compounding pharmacists? Some work with non hazardous material (like at my internship) and others work with a much stricter procedure and cautious environment. #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

The pharmacist today explained how her job is very independent! However, you are constantly also on a team to check eachothers work and help out with math problems like unit conversions you are unsure about. It’s a perfect balance. #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

Here are some photos to give a perspective on what a compounding lab looks like. A face mask, white gown, long pants, closed toe shoes, no jewelry, gloves, and hair coverings are part of the dress code. #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

At my internship today, the pharmacist had me doing calculations with her! In regards to math, there is a main focus on unit conversions and proportions. #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

Today at my internship, I learned that some Compounding Pharmacies (like Cross River Pharmacy) do 60% of their work with medicine for veterinary purposes rather than humans! #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

Here is some biomedical engineering work I saw while visiting URI today. One student that I talked to told me about a project they worked on. It has computer cursors move by using your thoughts, no movement required. Very very cool!! #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

Yesterday, I got to attend an engineering expo. I spoke to a University of Delaware (one of my top schools) representative about Biomedical Engineering. I also got to sit in on a women in engineering presentation! #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

[Catie Negrelli @CNegrelliWISE]

Just finalized my internship with a compounding pharmacy in Peekskill! After many phone calls and emails, I’m finally excited to share my new experiences. #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

@JessAmadoWISE I didn’t know the gel was used for that! Very cool @YHSMrsMero

@klombardo_wise @YHSMrsMero This made me so happy to see keep it up!!

[Catie Negrelli @CNegrelliWISE]

@GiannaMWISE @YHSMrsMero Very interesting I wasn’t aware of this

[Catie Negrelli @CNegrelliWISE]

@klombardo_wise @YHSMrsMero Very interesting to see the visual aspect of what a concussion really is

[Catie Negrelli @CNegrelliWISE]

On Sunday, I’ll be attending an engineering expo at White Plains HS. Very excited to share my experience with some photos. #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

[Catie Negrelli @CNegrelliWISE]

Rexall pharmacy (my internship location) is a compound pharmacy. They make custom medication that’s tailored to a customer’s specific needs such as allergies, children who can’t swallow pills, and different hormone altercations! #YHSWISE2023 #WISE #engineering @YHSMrsMero

@TravisLaPEng @klombardo_wise @aribeironursing @YHSMrsMero Looks great I’m so excited!!

[Catie Negrelli @CNegrelliWISE]

@klombardo_wise @YHSMrsMero @TravisLaPEng @aribeironursing Absolutely love it. Can’t wait to work on the project some more!!

[Catie Negrelli @CNegrelliWISE]

@JessAmadoWISE @YHSMrsMero It’s fascinating seeing how much you already know about just one picture!! Your internship sounds like such a great experience

[Catie Negrelli @CNegrelliWISE]

@IsabelGomespt @YHSMrsMero Didn’t know that Physical Therapy could go as far as to helping people with balance!! Thanks for sharing
