I found this website after I googled "I want to quit my residency," and found a lot of medical residency threads.
My pharmacy residency isn't working out. I'm easily putting in 70+ hours a week for a third of a pharmacist's wage, and I'm still not getting everything done that they expect. The other residents are in pretty similar boats, but they don't have pets, let alone spouses, so they don't have much to focus on but work.
I'm genuinely considering quitting. The residency focuses on generating work credit, and not on learning, so effectively I'm an underpaid and overworked new pharmacist. My biggest fear is making it to the end and finding out I didn't "pass."
If I had known it was going to be this crappy, I would have just gone straight to Publix instead.
