Lots of jobs out in California, but do you want to do cpje?
Good luck!
Yes, my friend, I am planning to take the CPJE now that I have the NAPLEX knowledge fresh in my brain. Even though, the CPJE is way harder than the NAPLEX, it is not a 6 hours test. I am like a bull, right now. I will take the CPJE and pass. Period...What it bothers me and for what I have read, is that it is a pain in the derriere the whole paperwork thingy, and it takes time. But yes, I have read about jobs in rural areas paying good. So most likely I am heading west in the near future. I am taking advantage of the score transfer option which I still have active.
Are you sure he was fired because of these two mistakes? . We makes those types mistake a lot at Cvs
Yes, EXTREMELY sure, and that is why hit us hard. We want to believe that he just had a bad supervisor and other supervisors are not like that. But, it was a fact.
Hello,
thanks for your reply.
are you saying pharmacy does not worth trying or a bad career choice? I have heard that from some other people but I don't know why.
What other health care professional out there might be considering? Just help me think. I know there is Chiropractic and Osteopathic medicine.
Well, career is subjective. If you see pharmacy from the point of view, where you like to read about medicines, interactions, indications, side effects, etc. Then, it is all good. However, you can still do all of these activities on your own using google in your free time, and you do not have to pile thousands dollars in debt. But, the fact is that in the real world pharmacy is practiced somehow different, and if you think for a second about monetary compensation for your efforts, then, think super hard before jumping in. Jobs are next to impossible to get in areas where you would probably like to live.
Honestly, you should pick a career that you would see yourself only doing EVEN if you receive ZERO compensation. And, you would not care where to live. In this case, you would be super happy if they tell you one day "hey we will pay you 10,000 a year, to live in Barrow, AK, doing what you love".
For me, it hasn't paid off, because I saw it sort of like an investment/career satisfaction type of thingy. So far, I finished the education component, but no remuneration, that is why I am not happy.
I don't want to hijack this thread, but this is yet another example of what I was talking about in my other thread. According to PharmerIsMe, 40% of his class is unemployed, and even those who managed to get jobs are working for 30 hrs/week as floaters for terrible chains like CVS. He even admitted that he would've done something else if he had known how bad the job market was going to get.
... But I guess PharmerIsMe is in his situation because he just didn't spend enough hours working as an intern every week?
Yes, I did. But the pharmacy intern to pharmacist offer do not always correlate in states packed with pharmacists and much less in desirable locations. They told me that I could continue working as a pharmacy intern, but no pharmacist jobs, and no guarantees that in the future something will open. I am still getting some hours, but I did not go to pharmacy school to be an intern forever. So for me I am jobless. Plus, I never thought the job market was going to be that bad in the whole state of FL!, IT IS crazy bad.
