Job opportunities with JUST a PharmD (due to a suspended license)

Hello all. Due to the mistake I made recently, I got into some serious trouble with my local Board of Pharmacy (non drug/substance abuse related issue) and I am facing a good chance to lose my license.

I know, I screwed up. No excuse about that. However, life has to move on and bills need to be paid. What are the decent job options that out there that only requires a PharmD?

Any advise will be greatly appreciated!

Maybe pivot. Build on your healthcare background, but decide to enter a different field, hoping to work with healthcare entities? I would direct my studies toward something like software. I know of one person who did something like this for a similar reason; it seemed like the best option. I wouldn't look into patient care options as I would assume those are closed off to you if the BoP sanctioned you.

Might be a blessing in disguise

Pharmacy is a complete and utter joke at this point ... Move on and do something else with your life

I don't even want to be associated with such a weak, sad, sorry profession

Have you plead guilty to the BoP? Felony? I would get a lawyer that practices in malpractice. Unless you have an admission of guilt then I try to keep the license than find alternative jobs.

industry might be an option, albiet a hard field to crack without any of the issues

Do a 12-14 month accelerated nursing program. You'll make about 72k working 3 12s/week just about anywhere in the US (120k+ with OT/night/weekend differential) or 90-200k in cali.

Likely a no admit with a license disciplinary record. If fraud related, you will need to pick a non-license job as most licensed jobs share the moral turpitude clause. Good luck.

I'm assuming that this is moral turpitude:
1. Drug Information with Elsevier
2. Health Education
3. Trials Coordinator

You cannot take a government facing job with moral turpitude on your record. You won't be allowed to take any job with pending legal action.
