This is all from a friend of mine who is graduating this year:

Her offer from a major chain, in a big mid west city:


We are pleased to confirm our offer of employment at XXXXX chain as a
Pharmacy Graduate Intern in the XXXXXX District at the rate of $31.59 per hour. Upon licensure as a registered pharmacist in the XXXXXXXX District,
your salary as a pharmacist will be $4212 biweekly, which annualized,
equals $109,512.00 based on a 80 hour biweekly schedule.


On doing a residency:

XXXXX chain is on a hiring freeze down here (FL) and my classmates are having a tough time finding jobs. I know you have some time left and not sure what your interests are but I really regret not doing a residency. Especially with the way the job market is, it really makes you stand out and marketable. It is basically another year of rotations but no one I have talked to regrets doing it. I am still really thinking about it for next year. I had a peds rotation a couple months ago but other than that..all my "hospital" rotations are now or yet to come so I didnt think I had an interest in it. Yes its long hours but its awesome bc u really get to use ur clinical skills and make suggestions at rounds and it makes a difference.


I just thought this was a very interesting perspective that I would share with you all. Happy studying 😎

Back to COPD/Asthma for me😴😴😴

What is the point of this thread? First, your friend got a job offer but then, there is a complaint about the hiring freeze and finally, regret is expressed for not doing a residency.

The hiring freeze she mentioned is near her school in florida. She did get a job in the midwest.

As far as the "point of this thread", she gave good salary info, which always seems to interest people

And I think she expresses the conflict between making lots of money in retail and doing a residency that lots of people including myself feel.

Sorry to waste your time though

This is good info? Everyone in pharmacy schools think about this at least once a day.

You are right, it was silly of me to post on a pharmacy student message board about things pharmacy students think about.

Maybe I'll make a new thread about woodworking in zero gravity so you and I can discuss irrelevant bull****.

If you dont like this thread, feel free to move on, I dont know why you're still here whining.😕

 

[BMBiology]

Wait a minute. Your thread is entitled "Some interesting thoughts/facts/figures..." so I expected there to be some insights from your thread. I have been tricked!

 

[ben10]

I totally appreciate this thread. I just got accepted to school and have the same questions...do you do a residency in something you enjoy for less money or do you work in retail where it pays better but might not be the ideal job at exercising what you learned in school... and about the zero gravity woodworking.... I bet you could carve some crazy stuff.... just don’t get the floating wood chips up you nose.

This thread is interesting enough. We've been talking about the hiring freeze in Florida and I guess it's still continuing. I didn't realize grad interns got paid that much. I really don't think retail pays all that much more. Hospitals may have a lower base salary but shift and weekend differentials can make up a large portion of the discrepency.

My wife has her choice of 4 hospitals...and countless retail jobs. I get mailings all the time trying to get me to join various hospitals within a 40 minute radius of where I work. And my hospital gave me an $18,000 signing bonus when I started a few months ago, too.

Rust Belt, baby. It's where its at.

thanks for the reassurance 0.9, i hope to snag me one of them there deals when i graduate in may... good to hear they still exist..

 

[BMBiology]

You finally got the right title. 👍

 

[Moxxie]

Why in the heck would she take a salaried position? Sounds like trouble to me.

 

[PharmDstudent]

There is something seriously neurotic about this thread's title.

I hope you don't take things that personally, from an instigator like BMBiology, in real life.

why the heck are you awake? still on parade mode?

Actually, I stayed home Fat Tuesday, because I had partied myself out by Monday night, so I don't really know what's wrong. It could be that I had a guest over Sat. - Mon. and had to share my bed.
Since I haven't been able to get enough sleep, I'm now sick and that makes it that much harder to sleep.

I have to attend a wake and funeral this week, too. Just one more thing to add to it all...

I have dirty thoughts running through my head now.








PS sorry about the wake and funeral 🙁

You know what they say... 3's company. 😛

Funerals are just crazy inconvenient, that's all. This one involves an autopsy to boot, so we didn't get any definite plans until today even though the death occurred Monday.

 

[stevephhs016]

$115k here this coming May 😀

But I also really regret not doing a residency, fellowship. Watch me come to Midyear again next year

i have no f*ing clue of what point the original poster is trying to make here ...and why i even replied to this/and or why BMBiology involved in this either...but ....watever. Heck, i might start a thread called, "Any pornstar pharmacist?"

Don't we have an off topic pointless thread?

Well put... Feel free to post in any # of the lost-in-the-sauce pointless threads. We don't need any extras at this point.
