最近讨论的沸沸扬扬的wag power问题。 最先开始的州－FL已经有个很大的影响，无论
是tech还是pharmacist. lay off的比例都不小。 而且power今年据说会去AZ,然后CA等
等。 我们的rx supervior已经开始不同程度上的告知/威胁我们了。 虽然现在是wag,
但是如果成功cvs应该不久就follow这个trend了。
我个人感觉pharmacy的golden time在一点一点流逝，所以如果还没有考到license的，
抓紧考。正在做intern的，尽量的多找几家，争取早点做完小时，qualify去考试。已
经拿到license的，有OT就尽量做些，多赚点钱以后总是有用的，而且考虑一下其他可
以自我升值的办法。
这是我个人的感想，大家一起讨论下。 |

发帖数: 1214 | 4 If my understanding is right, I think the wag power program operates more like long term care facilities. The refilled prescriptions and non-emergency medications are
processed and filled centrally somewhere and deliver to the patients. Is it
a good practice? hard to say. It is true high pharmacist's salary is
considered a fix cost. However, such practise may lose quite some front
store sales. I do not have the details of the program and I do not know
their financial figures. I think with the ne |

He said the # of pharmacists needed for dispensing meds (i.e. retail

有身份的，等pharmD毕业岁数也应该不小了吧？再折腾两年residency？

PGY1 + fellowship is usually 3 years
Both routes will distinguish you from others in my opinion and can probably
easily get you a job. The first route will most likely lead you to a
clinical specialist's position. The second option can help you become a
clinical specialist + an associate professor (in clinical practice)

summer intern 是cut了 因为经济环境问题 有是有， 但是没有那么多hour (我以前
干的时候是40hr/wk) 现在只能fill in tech vacation time了 district 不会pay

其实aquire rite aid 不要他们的人那对与我找工作可能还有点好处 呵呵。 起码可

不是5月才涨工资吗？ 其实walgreen药房的profit 也没有跌， 应该会有吧。 呵呵。

my mind to do residency... I heard that 2 years ago, if you wanna to do a
residency, you can always get a match. but now, it is getting more
competitive...
Back to my rotation, we rounded with docs and residents every day in a 14
bed ICU. I think you have to have certain personality to do those jobs.
Questioning things ordered by MD's in a group of MD's... not easy... don't

发帖数: 1009 | 24 I think it's really about what you like to do as a career. If you enjoy
working retail, then you should definitely do it, because it is a rewarding
job and the money is nice. I think for me I'll have regrets if I work retail
for the rest of my life, so I turned down my retail offers and got myself a
PGY1 instead, and hopefully a PGY2 or a fellowship next year. I know if I
don't do it right out of school, I'll never have the motivation to do it
later on in life.
To be short, just go for whatever

you can probably apply for faculty positions at pharmacy schools. However,
people with a PharmD/Ph.D are more competitive nowadays. I do have one
friend who's going for grad school after she gets her PharmD degree.
