This really belongs in the pharmacy forum. Let me move it for you.

13ish per hour seems pretty normal round here.

Really?? My friend, P2, is getting $21/hr. I guess it depends on where.

 

[EBT12]

Most of the people I know made between $11 and $14/hour. Even when I worked in a large hospital, I didn't make more than that.

12/14/16/18 depending on your year in school.

That's nothing.

I have a friend that makes $50/hour as a P1 and he gets all the free Vicodin he wants.

I kid. Yes it is highly variable based on where you live and what kind of work you find. $21 is extremely high, your friend is doing very well for himself.

Kroger starts at $14 an hour and pays an additional dollar per hour for what year you're in. So p1 is $14, p2 is $15 ect.

Unscientific survey:

Retail in CA: $18-22/hr depending on year
Hospitals on the east coast: $16-18/hr (i'm somewhere in the middle there)

What KMA do you work in? That's not accurate where I work.

I'm pulling down 13/hr as a P2. Was offered 16.50 an hour at a hospital but turned it down (night shifts and not enough hours).

Don't they pay 11 for P1s and then $1 more for every year after?

 

[type b pharmD]

Highly variable depending on region, practice setting, experience, and school year.

Personally ive gotten $15 at my hospital and nuke jobs.

As far as what I've heard , so to speak, from friends and contacts, id think you could expect $12-20 for retail and $14-25 for hospital depending on the previously listed factors.

Yes I know a couple hospital guys making in the mid 20s but they are expected to work 15-20 hrs / week including nights. Average # for retail I hear thrown around is about $13 ish , but usually with a much more easy and flexible schedule

Hth . And BTW , don't expect to negotiate intern salaries, they are fixed for the most part unless you are bringing something really special to the table

No, here in my KMA you start at $12 as a P1 and go up $2 per year thereafter.

Smith's. I'm curious what Fry's and Ralph's pay their interns.

Was making 11 at cvs as a p1 with a dollar raise a year. Then jumped to 18 when I started working in nuclear. Hope that helps. And 11 is a joke but there super flexible...

Y'all should feel privileged you're not slave labor IMHO.

CVS SoCal: $16.75/$17.75/$18.75/$19.75

 

[timbutt2]

Currently, I am a P4 in Chicago making: 19.50 with Dominick's. As a P3 I made: 17.50 - A P2: 16.50 and P1: 14.50.

P1, just got the paperwork done and bumped to $12.50.

Other thing you have to remember is students can be interns and have different amounts of responsibility which will greatly affect what they make.

21/hr - hospital

places are hiring starting at 25/hr in retail if you can commute to an underserved area. For us Arizonans, underserved areas are not really that far away - maybe 45min to an hour drive. For 25 an hour and an 8-10 hour shift (plus the experience), I think it is worth it. That's an extra ~800 bucks a month.

Im srsly getting raped. $12/hr PRN tech work, basically I make IVs, TPNs, batch meds and fill the machines. Just pleaded my case for a pay raise and more responsibility so well see.

Me too buddy. Can't help but wonder how we might go about getting one of those 20+ jobs.

Well, 12 at the hospital, 14.50 at CVS. Hardly anything to brag about.

 

[sundogoh]

Back in the day when I was in pharmacy school (graduated in '94), I made minimum wage as a pharmacy intern and $11 /hr as a graduate intern at a chain pharmacy. I don't think the interns at the hospital I work at make much more than $12/hr. This is in the middle of nowhere midwest.

 

[Lubeckd]

anyone knows the rates in nyc? for p3,p4,p5,p6 (professional phase 1-4) in retail?

The most I ever made was $15/hour at the VA. It was several dollars more than either of my retail gigs. No idea what retail is paying now.
