Mandatory 5th year student meetings at CVS

Any 5th year students attend one of those mandatory meetings? They told us that our jobs were "stable" if we stay with them, which is a good thing because the job market does not have a "dieingggg need for pharmacists". Furthermore, our rates would be 49.50 in NYC and 2 dollars more in the Bronx. I was just wondering what they said to other interns from other states or in the same district.

The market may not be desperate, but CVS is. What a petty attempt at trying to fool 5th year students!

no,the OP means 5th year. the 5th in a 6 year program....probably at ACP, as that's how we describe ourselves, by year.

at CVS you are given credit for up to 2 years of undergrad. So if you are hired after 2-4 years of undergrad, but before you've actually started pharmacy school, you are a 2nd year intern. During your P1 year, you're a 3rd year intern, and as a P2 (to be) like myself, you're (I am) a 4th year intern.

So I imagine that the OP means a P2 going on P3 when he refers to a 5th year intern

and yeah, Market Shmarket, CVS is dyyyying for pharmacists

I don't know about NYC but here in California CVS is desperate for pharmacist to cover all the open shifts!
