Nuclear pharmacist

[konkan]

Does anybody know is it hard to become a nuc. pharmacist?
I mean in retail demand is so much higher than supply, but what about nuc. pharmacy? Also what about safety? If you work for 20 years how it's gonna reflect on your health?

You'll be safe as long as you (and your coworkers!) follow the rules and regulations set up for nuclear pharmacy. I believe most companies will help you go through the certification process required to be in nuclear pharmacy, maybe even paying for it, because the need is there. Best advice is to find a nuclear pharmacy to shadow at or do a rotation while in school at one. It'll open your eyes to what really goes on day after day.

Safety...I'd agree w/ the previous post. Yeah its supposed to be safe as long as you take all of the necessary precautions.
