I will apply for a clinical pharmacist position at the hospital I work at now but in the Rochester, Minn. location (I am in AZ right now). If I am not successful with that, I will apply for residency either there or at a top program. This will all depend on where my gf will be too since she is applying to medical school and will be one year behind me. We both want to end up somewhere in the North or Northeast in a suburban area where we can raise our children in a more conservative area with a good school system- either Minnesota or Connecticut, Rhode Island, suburban Mass., somewhere like that. Of course, this is if everything goes the way it is inside my mind LOL we can dream, right? But, the chances that I will become a lifer where I work now are very high.

I think she means the reasonable logical open-minded balanced conservative line of thought/lifestyle and not the ... well, I won't go there

Yes!! Exactly!! I am glad someone gets it 🙂 🙂
I'm definitely planning on at least one year of residency. If nothing changes my mind between now and then, I'm planning on a second year residency to specialize in psychiatric pharmacy.
I was thinking the same thing (about psychiatric pharmacy). It is still at the top of my list for things to do 🙂 I just have to see how everything plays out.
I think Im defiantly going to get a retail job for a year or two, to pay down my student debt. At this time I will still be young and maybe then I will look into residencies and what-not.

Ohhh interesting! That always sounded so interesting to me...
I want to aim for a residency, but I'm particularly interested in LTC pharmacy and geriatrics/chronically ill. I have nothing against retail though. I would do it and be happy that I could start paying off my loans and work right out of pharmacy school, but I wouldn't stop working towards my ultimate goal.
No one's mentioned it yet, but i'd be interested in some kind of behind the scenes research opportunity dealing with pharmaceutical therapy. Specifically improving drugs making better suited for the human psyche and analyzing drug therapy effectiveness. I'm really interested in the science behind pharmacy and how the drugs are made versus just handing them out. If/ when I'm a pharmacist I want to understand HOW and WHY the agents work, not just THAT they work.... and be able to explain these processes in a simpler laymen term way to my patients. Hey maybe even working for the FDA and writing the drug manuals, that'd be pretty chill.
Also, Radiopharmacology seems pretty interesting and adventurous!

Sounds like another medicinal chemist
But really, Med Chem and Pharmacology are subjects you want to study if you're curious about that.

You may have just solved all of my problems..... I just found a combined Medicinal chemistry BS/PharmD program in Maryland .................. zomg............... jackpot.
Maryland is a good school, Nicole. You should go for it!
As long as you're not too close to Baltimore, it should be ok. http://www.city-data.com/city/Baltimore-Maryland.html Because of the high crime
I've been in Baltimore once. Maybe it was a bad time to be there (after a red sox loss) but damn some aggresive drivers there

More aggressive than those in Michigan?
