i am willing to relocate to any state after graduation if i didnt find a job in nj. so any idea where i should go ?
So are you actually willing to relocate to any state like the original post? If you give people some more parameters, people may make more appropriate suggestions.yeah and i am ethnic so the white folks probably wont like me over there
I live in Louisiana lol and he is right. Between Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama there is only 7 pharmacy schools. The town I'm from has a population of about 20,000 and there is 14-15 pharmacies each staffing 3-5 pharmacistsSo are you actually willing to relocate to any state like the original post?

Baton Rouge has a openings pop up at least once a month. They had 4 come open in the last week. And there are places not far from Baton Rouge that would be great places to open up your ownOK Louisiana -- you are going to be placed in a rural location far from New Orleans or Baton Rouge. No jobs in those cities.
haha nice come back brothabut I'm too white to move there
It's not specific states that are saturated or unsaturated. It's the metro areas that are saturated in those states. And it's not just pharmacy, it's a national health care issue.
Iowa, Nebraska. The states where nobody wants to live lol
We just had a new district manager transfer from Kansas and said they couldn't find enough RPhs for positions. They were hiring staff at 65-70 an hour.
yea, I think it was po-dunk KansasI believe it. But it wasn't Kansas City/Johnson County area. It was probably rural middle of nowhere children of the corn area.
just got accepted class of 2019
iowa is saturated - it was saturated 10 years agoIowa, Nebraska. The states where nobody wants to live lol
I've been to Omaha before and yea that place was terrible.iowa is saturated - it was saturated 10 years ago
FYI - there was a study that Des Moines was the richest city in the country when you combined average income with cost of living
and PS - Nebraska sucks
how about washington state? is it saturated?
Another thing that grinds my gears about the rural shortage. You just get the chains whining to the state boards that they need an exception, blah, blah, blah. Can't staff. Blah, blah, blah. But they won't raise the wages enough to attract. I guarantee that if the chains would put $100/hour with a 3 year commitment to PIC a podunk Kansas store you WILL get ONE new graduate to say YES. But they won't. Because they are cheap.
Yes. Saturated.how about washington state? is it saturated?
Yes. Saturated.
I don't get this general aversion to working in 'the boonies'. I never had a doubt that I'd move to a rural area after graduation. I filled out one and only one application [before getting my diploma in 2011, before being licensed, no residency] at the hospital out here, and will probably be here for many years to come. It's allowed for some great opportunities, things you can only get away with at smaller institutions. Low cost of living, can easily buy a place with privacy and acreage. . .Sure there are negatives, but I'd take it over working retail in an urban setting any day.
Well, I guess instead of starting a new thread I can jump into this one. My better half is potentially moving to Cincinnati, Ohio. Any input on the job market there? He will only be gone for 2 years-3 years then off to a new job. So, I don't know if it's worth asking for a transfer.
Thank you for you input. Much appreciated.Generally, transferring, will make you float, but it depends on the need. Guaranteed, any big city near a pharmacy school, you will be floating. I guess what I would consider, where will your SO be going after 2 -3 years? It doesn't sound like he will necessarily be returning to TN after 3 years (if that were the case, I would think you could make it work staying in TN, until he came back.) But if he has no idea where he will be going after 3 years, then you are talking a possible permanent long-distant relationship, which I think is a bad idea, I would say move with him, and take your chances. That is the good thing about a chain, you can transfer jobs as you move with your SO, and if it really is a bad situation, then go part-time or PRN, and maybe try to get a different job on the side.

The guy was doing really well in our area (PIC and good numbers) but he moved out of state and the new area just had him floating around and really far, so he quit. I don't know, we don't know. Should I just stay put with the 3 bambinos here in TN or follow him around? at what cost? I know that no one can really answer that for me. but it would help to hear from someone that knows someone that had to make the difficult choice of leaving an established position for unknown territories.
