REREAD my post. notice inner city? that would be baltimore and DC facilities that use PAs for the most part....I trained in DC for awhile and had friends training in baltimore and know the facilities using PAs there...needless to say they are not in great neighborhoods for the most part....the words "combat zone" come to mind....
Hmmm.. I used to live in the DC metro area and also taught in the inner city over by Hopkins, the school was City Springs, also taught over at Patapsco Elementary across the bridge, oh and also in DC in Adams Morgan, school right down the street from Heaven and Hell club, I forget the name, oh Mary Reed. Anyway, I know what issues you can have as a teacher, but I don't see what type of issues you could have as a provider? Hmmm, any ideas? At least you all have the opportunity to work in the city. Pharmacist jobs are so tight- I did a 3 month stint in Kotzebue, Alaska, and guess what........they don't need pharmacists, even in the most northern city Barrow- go figure. As a matter of fact, at any one time there are more pharmacists running around than people in hospital beds in those villages(I wouldn't go so far as to call them cities, at least not where I was, no hair salon, bar, club, no anything(but that's another story)). When you don't need pharmacists in Kotzebue, Alaska, or Barrow, Alaska, where you have to go everywhere in a vehicle due to polar bears,.........lol that's when you know the pot is seriously boiling over. I'm in Miami, Fl btw, probably will have to move.
LOL been there done that. At this time of the year in the village in Alaska, its like living in a hole and coming out to work, that's it, that's all you can do.
No exaggeration, I've investigated PA school for the last several weeks (out of curiosity). I think a number of us in pharmacy are afraid of not landing a job in a normal location.
Did she say why she would have done pharmacy instead of PA?
