So I am in a six year pharmacy program. I'll be officially starting pharmacy school in the Fall after finishing the first two years. I volunteered at a hospital pharmacy last summer. This summer, I tried finding a job. I'm registered as a pharmacy technician with the state (didn't take the pharmacy technician exam) because the director at the hospital said there was a new law saying I needed to be.
I've had no luck in the places I applied. I had talked to various pharmacies during the winter break and a few places told me to come back in May to see if they have a spot open. Only 2 actually took an application from me. One said they would get back to me if they need me and not to call. One kept telling me to talk to the boss who would be in at - time. Each time they would tell me to call later or tomorrow.
One pretty much stopped taking my calls after two calls for some reason.
What should I do for now?
I'm going back to the hospital to volunteer. (This is the place that stopped taking my calls.)
Can volunteering also count for hours? Can I get those hours registered after the summer is done?
My state doesn't do internship hours, your pharmacy school hours are good enough. I'm asking because I go to school in Pennsylvania and would like to be registered in both states by the end.
