Get yourself a handy dandy intern license and talk to your pharmacy manager about switching you to an intern instead of a tech.

I got my pay raise right away ... but I think my company was just being nice. To officially get your license you have to register after you have COMPLETED one full semester of pharmacy school ... this is in Iowa, though. I'm not sure if it differs from state to state.

Yeah - what state are you in??? Don't make any assumptions.

Check with the state board of pharmacy and your manager.

In MI - you have to complete the application, send in the fees and get verification from your dean's office you are a student in good standing.

You can get the detail from www.michigan.gov or google michigan intern pharmacist license requirements.

So...you have to wait until you actually get to school. Then....when you get your intern license, you tell your pharmacy manager...who then needs to get approval (interns are often paid out of a different budget than techs). He may or may not need to have a copy of the license, so have it available.

Good luck!
