OK, get me an inpatient clinical pharmacist position in Philly, and I'll be back as soon as I can drive my car across the country.
My specialty just had a spot.

um who said i was unemployed. obviously i just don't work in that area that is all...and i was just stating how long i have been trying to get a desirable job (for me) in that area. please keep your opinions to yourself especially if you don't know the situation thanks.
hmm., so in a year when I start applying for jobs in suburban chicago who screwed am I?It's crazy but yes. There are 5 schools and UIC has a Rockford campus which I think has another 50 students/year.
It's not impossible but it is more difficult and getting worse each year. Residencies aren't required but they are preferred. Right now clinical experience is still >> than a new grad who just completed a PGY1. BCPS doesn't hurt either. You could get extremely lucky with your timing and have no trouble at all. It just seems that there isn't a whole lot out there.hmm., so in a year when I start applying for jobs in suburban chicago who screwed am I?
Really that bad?
I heard a rumor that there was a job back in 2012 but it has since been taken.
I've seen postings for jobs in Florida pretty frequently

This scares me because I have a good chance of moving there in a little over a year.
I'm not clinical so I don't get to go to conferences with work.

IIRC you don't have itemize to take job expenses, but you cannot deduct anything below 2% of your income - the home deduction is completely separate from the job expense deduction.I don't itemize because I don't own a house yet--- and I understand the point of going for networking but I just can't justify going to a meeting, taking vacation and paying for it all on my own.
yes it is, I have never hit that amount, but like you, I am not going to pay to go to a work conference, unless I can watch it from my beach chair with a beer in handI didn't realize this- I thought I had to itemize to use the job expense deductible. Still will be a lot of money spent to get to 2%

We still have to use PDO's to go, but we put all of our student precepting money into one pot that we can apply for money for registrations (but not travel, etc). I guess if I wanted to get into a new area like you, I would definitely consider it.Meh, my current job took conferences out of the budget. So if I didn't pay for myself, I wouldn't go. Since I'm eyeing heading back to academia I'm all for staying up with everything as well as the networking.
Now, my physician group is paying for my flight/hotel/registration to ACEP, but I still have to use vacation time for it.
Ui understand that-- I may suck it up and pay/take vacation this year just because I am thinking about moving soon.
