Reputation of Rosalind Franklin

[cycler8011]

I was considering Rosalind Franklin for pharmacy school but I heard they don’t have a great reputation and preceptors are not impressed with the students. Can anyone attest to this?

I can attest to the saturated market. Oversupply of pharmacists and no demand.

Truth, especially in that region. There are five pharmacy schools in the Chicagoland area, with two more an hour north in Milwaukee.

From what I've been told by those working retail in the city proper, it's a nightmare: hour/staff cuts, ridiculous metrics, pharmacists being fired for minor errors, forced to float, no leverage, etc.

It really is turning into the hunger games. Stay away from pharmacy. If you are deadset on the profession, avoid schools that have opened in the past ten years.

I have no direct experience with the school, but I will say that their HelixTalk podcast aimed at pharmacy students and pharmacists is very well done as a clinical refresher on different topics.

HelixTalk

HelixTalk - a podcast produced by pharmacy faculty to supplement study material and provide relevant drug and professional topics.

On the other hand, I work in the region and I’ll speak from my experience. I’ve worked with some pharmacists that are ridiculously incompetent, and somehow are still employed. It really does baffle me how some of these people are still employed. The hour and staff cuts are true.

The last two pharmacists that I’ve heard who got terminated in the last year or so, it was well warranted.
