i know this may sound like a silly question...but i just got my hours for the hospital i work at and i didnt quite get as many as i wanted. basically i have a lot of free time on my hands and really would like some experince in community practice. so, my question is for those of you who have or are working in community, what is the best way to go about trying to find a job in retail???

Just call around, speak to various pharmcy managers, and see if anyone is interested in hiring an intern. You sometimes need to go through district managers for larger retail companies.

Depends on where in Ohio you are at. In Columbus, the market is very saturated in the summer with all the interns from OSU working. However, the best way is really to just go around to pharmacies, fill out applications and leave resumes with them. Once I got a technician job at Kroger by leaving my resume after they told me they were fully staffed. The next week, a technician quit, and I got a phone call. Also, let the hospital know that if they have hours available or projects you can work on, etc, that you are interested.
