Hi all,

I graduated about 1.5 years ago from pharmacy school. Does anyone know if my pharmacy intern hours, which i need to get licensed will expire? Do I have to take my naplex by a certain time post graduation so that I don't have to redo my intern hours?? I've been working in pharmaceutical industry for the last year and half. Someone please advise!!!

Thanks

Bump. My question is similar. I know you can take the NAPLEX and CPJE a maximum of 5 times, but is there a time limit during which you can take the exams? I thought it was 1 year but when I signed up for the CPJE on PSI it said I had eligibility until March 2015 (received initial ATT about 6 months ago).

I think may be relative to the state that you are practicing in. In Texas, "Internship hours may be used for the purpose of licensure for no longer than two years from the date the internship is completed."
