Hi,

Did you mean applying for Wa. State intern license? It requires FPGEE certificate. Well, I am going to start my internship soon in Oregon State if all goes well. Almost all the states require having FPGEE cert.. Even having all the 3 scores is not enough.

Is oregan state needs fpgec certification ?

Hi ragu ,

do you have an idea about the pay for interns in Wa state ?

[ragu]

Yes, Oregon needs certification. I guess interns in Wa get paid like $20/hr or something and it keeps increasing every 500 hrs or so. That is how it works in Oregon. I think Fred Meyer pays $22/hr for 500 hrs and then $27 and $30 eventually.

Hi ragu,

Thanks for the info, by the way where are you located? I live in Bothell.I knew WA state needs certification. I have work permit , if I start looking for intern positions now,it may work out after some time, because proccesing it self takes long time. I'm just enquiring about the possibilities.

Hi,


Glad to be of help. Since you already have a work permit, try working a pharm. technician. Do you have Fred-Meyer in Wa.? Try to contact them. If all goes ok, I will be working as an intern (Fred-Meyer) in Portland, Ore in a month. I hope everything will turn out ok.

Yes we do have FM here ,but you know, to work as a technician in Wa ,we have to have TSE score, sounds wiered.I can work as Pharmacy assistant but not as technician.
