Hi, so to start off, am not a pharmacy student (am recent graduate, applying to MPH programs soon). However, I just found out today that my boyfriend failed the compounding part of the pharmacist licensing exam (we live in NYC). He is completely shattered as we are both in a tight financial situation and were hoping he could start working soon (in NY, it seems he cannot retake the exam for another 6 months).
I would greatly appreciate some advice so I can offer a plan of action to him. Is it possible for him to take the other two parts of the exam (not sure what they're called, something about legal issues, and the other is a more general exam?) and get licensed in another state w/o the compounding part? Would he need to take these exams in another state to be licensed, or could he take them in NY and transfer his license somewhere else? I don't know if you need a certain amount of experience to transfer a license; he has worked for 5 years as a pharm. tech at a hospital while going to school (he is intelligent but a v. anxious test-taker).
I don't know what to do; I feel awful for him. I'm ready to move wherever, so any advice would be great. Thank you!!!
