Work Experience Question

[SaturatedTurd]

Hey guys, I'll be starting pharmacy school next semester and I was looking forward to getting work experience. Having zero experience in pharmacy and no knowledge on drugs, what should I teach myself before applying to CVS/Walgreens? Should I get my PTCE before applying? (It's not required in NYC as far as I'm concerned). Should I learn a bunch of common drug names and stuff? Sorry, if this seems like a dumb question, I just don't want to look inexperienced in the workplace.

I would defer your admission before enrolling in pharmacy school so that you can get work experience. You need experience working in a pharmacy before deciding that it is the right profession for you.

Your name is exactly what the pharmacists I used to work with in my area thought about their jobs

You do not need to teach yourself anything prior to the job. Make sure you apply for a pharmacy INTERN position and not as a technician.
