Hello current/future Rphs!
I am a P4. I have gotten a grad intern offer with CVS at a district 90 miles away from my hometown in South Florida. I accepted it as there seems to be no jobs any where. For those who work for CVS, what is the process if I would like to be near my hometown? Should I...

I am interested in a career in pharmaceutical sales. While I know that you do not have to be a pharmacist for this career path, I am wondering if maybe there is a niche for pharmacists to go into pharmaceutical sales? I obviously don't want to start out with only $50k/year when I can make much...

Hi all! Quick question anyone work at a location that does not do part B billing?
The pharmacy I am at does not bill part B and because of this the PIC is convinced we can't bill part D for flu shots... This makes no sense to me. We don't bill part B for test strips so why are flu shots any...
I know schools look at volunteer hours as part of the application process. I was a Division I athlete and worked part time as a RA (resident assistant) for 3 out of 4 years. I majored in Bio and minored in Spanish. My schedule didn't leave much room for volunteer time... do you think lack of...

Hi everyone.... I’m currently pursuing my PharmD and am, as always, considering what I am actually going to do with it. I know right now I am going to get my MPH (Masters of Public Health) dual degree. So now I’m left wondering... what all can a pharmacist do in the public health sector? I’m not...
I went to the Walmart pharmacy today and for some odd reason, my insurance only covers name brand, which they were out of stock but will be there Thursday. So I could wait 4 days, or pay $200 out of pocket for the generic.
I'm usually not one to complain or live by "the customer is always...
Just wondering if there are any clinical/hospital pharmacists that didn't get a residency right out of school yet still found their way into a hospital. Did you try for a residency again the next year?

First off, I'd like to thank those on the forum who provided their test experiences to help me through this difficult time of my life. To return the favor, I'll post my experience to maybe help someone out there reading. So my test was August 6 and I didn't start study until a couple of days...
Hi all,

I just graduated pharmacy school and have an offer from rite aid and from Vons as a floater. I've worked at rite aid for 4 years so I know their system pretty well and they pay more than Vons, but any pharmacist I've talked to is happier working for Vons. Any advice on which company to go with...
