And at what point do you feel any job would be available to only new grads or retail RPhs making a switch???

What are the chances of the 1985 Chicago Bears beating the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl?
ehhhh about equal chance. i now work with previous retail young druggists who are in managerial role at a large hospital. they work their asses off and have a very good sense of numbers.
if theres any silverlining to oversupply of pharmacists, its seeing less and less self entitled young punk grads expecting a red carpet treatment.

as high as you seeing me do the super bowl shuffle.
My assistant manager is a new grad (first job, in Florida, chain retail) and she said after 2 years of retail she feels like she'll forget everything she needed to know interning in the hospital. I'm obviously not in pharmacy school yet, so I can't comment on the intended seriousness of that statement, but retail is pretty different I assume (I've only volunteered in the hospital packaging asthma meds)... and employers might have some biases towards pharmacists who've already been 'molded' by their job for a few years I suppose.
Okay so I lied, it was pulmozyme... but I was kinda close I guess. I've only slept about 2 hours, and that was in a car... they say it's worse than being drunk...

That's total bs - I had to unit dose nystatin susp. At 5cc a dose - all day - in 3 ft of snow.
Wait - what was this post about?
Ah yes - the bears have zero chance of making thr super bowl.
And pepcid vials - we use to stock one vial + pre printed label in a mini-ziploc up in the med surg Pyxis. Everyone should be forced to taste zithromax, amoxicillin, and robotussin AC... They be rancid.
Okay fine...If you want hospital, apply for a residency. It's going to be hard as hell to get a job as a hospital pharmacist with no experience unless you worked at a hospital as an intern or a tech. If you want an example on how hard it is to find a job without residency experience, just ask mikey (wvu dude) The only caveat to that is if you are willing to work nights 7 on 7 off like dgrolex. Then again, she graduated from UF so she is special 🙂
If your retail job is with Publix, take it. Its the best retail experience you will get in Florida. It's an awesome company to work for if you have to work retail!
Didn't work, I'm moving 850 miles away in a week so I'm off...
I'm not an intern, I was a pee-on volunteer... unfortunately after some genius decided to steal from the in-patient pharmacy and force the department to re-write the entire guidelines on volunteer duties and restrictions. So I basically got to package respiratory meds in zip-locks and place pre-printed labels on top all day.
I'm a retal tech so I've worn antibiotic suspensions, and keflex is definitely the most disgusting.
I can see you imitating Mike Singletary
I'm Samurai Mike I stop'em cold.
Part of the defense, big and bold,
I've been jammin' for quite a while,
Doin' what's right and settin' the style,
Give me a chance, I'll rock you good,
Nobody messin' in my neighborhood.
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came to do The Super Bowl Shuffle
is that really the case?
Store 10...and I don't even speak Spanish!
Haha my Spanish is tragic garbage considering certain members of my family actually pronounce Publix like that... I'm not planning to move back to Miami anytime soon though, so I should be okay with the Spanglish I've got.
that was the case from early 2000's til bout 2 years ago. a new grad actually pulled that crap last year...and he ended up without a job. he thought he was some hot chit..
The funny thing is now I work at a hosptial that is run by Spain! And I still don't speak much Spanish!

You just wish you had an NFL team to support...I still have the VHS copy!

oh...so explains the running of the bull.
I know what "Ole" means!
i grew up in the superdome watching archies army on the march to 8-8 record under coke high heisman winning george rogers. my little league football coach was tom dempsey...look him up.
all paid for by cooper stevedore co...
what does it mean...stevedore???
so you dont think i have an nfl team to root for?
Your little league coach was a cheater!
but I am glad you won the super bowl then last year...dont get used to it! Its nice to feel like a winner every now and then! USC won't be winning again anytime soon and you can forget about Texas A&M...
no...Chuck Noland was!
A&M will never break away from Texas...but if they did, they will be like Mississippi State
and Miami has never cheated! We just piss people off because we are better than everybody else! So there was a scandle in 1997...whatever!
Potential? Last in the SEC isn't THAT great...
what about Big... Awesome flick
mmm...who's the last team to have beaten LSU 7 years in a row... look it up.
Big was great....cuz Elizabeth Perkins was kinda cute then...
The scuffle with FL Atlantic was classic - Fl Atlantic suspended the entire team... What did Miami due? Sanction 2 punks...
They make'm ruff down there.

Shut up or I will send my kicker and punter after your ***** with crutches and other weapons!
LSU is number two (or possibly three this year) in SEC west. How is beating the third or fourth best team in the SEC 7 times relevant?
And I didn't fact check - I'm lazy
You must be like...really really old!
