hi
I am not sure how many hours the company will allow you to work....since it varies from company to company. if you lets consider work standard 40 hrs/ week without breaks you can complete 1500 hrs within 9-10 months from the day you start. since california doesn't have a restriction on number of hours per week....its all upto your pharmacy manager or company.
in california the intern license is valid for 2 years. the expiration date will be provided on your intern license. it is usually 2 years from the day they approve your intern license when you provide ssn. once you submit ssn # to CA board you can check the status of your application online at -
http://www.pharmacy.ca.gov/verify_lic.htm
The validity is limited to 2 years unless due to some reason you are not able to complete internship.....the california board reserves the right to allow extension or deny.
please check the rules and regulations on their website to be 100 % sure.
