Any suggestions or links to specific site would be nice

Answer 1

It's hard to post pics on here, so just do a search on yahoo. They really don't need anything, but I'll list some stuff I commonly see used. Just add the word "pics" behind each item:

Palm Pilot - usually for the Lexi Comp software
Book by Koda-Kimble
Pill cutter with that pill separator stick thing
Pen/pencil
notepad
calculator
computer - to enter in prescriptions, check pt notes, etc
telephone
pager - if working in a hospital (might be assigned to a code team)
mortar and pestle - on the rare chance they have to compound a drug

None of this stuff is mandatory and it's common to see a pharmacist carry and use nothing other than the pharmacy's computer system and telephone
