FPGEC certificate

[pharmalady]

Hi guys ,
Iam quite new on this forum and I appreciate all your inputs because they are very educative.Anyway I passed the june '07 fpgee and just finally got EtS to send my toefl ibt scores to nabp. I would be very glad if anyone could give me an idea of how long it takes for the fpgee certificate to be processed.

Already applied to Walgreens but they are awaiting my fpgee certificate. Please I would like to have an idea of what their interview is like. Do I have to negotiate pay rate or do they have a standard pay? Is it possible to get an intern licence before getting an intership spot? Walgreens said I need a letter from Texas state board indicating that I am eligible to obtain internship hours in Texas.

I am in PA I also applied to walgreens for interhsip and they are waiting for the certificate but they did say you can mail them a copy of the nabp letter stating you passed and toefl score sheet.
I have the same question as you walgreens is requiring a intern license but when on the PA application for intern they require a registered pharmacist to sign so how can one fill that part out if no internship position was offered??

Hi phillypharm,

Thanks for 'thy reply. I have already sent copies of my fpgee and toefl ibt scores to them. How long have you been waiting to get your certificate fron NABP? Do you have an idea of how Walgreens conduct their interview ? Well let's hope we dont have to wait for too long because i believe this is the best time to secure a spot for internship.Pls keep me updated if you come across any useful piece of information.

I just passed the Fpgee in june 07 and toefl ibt in first week nov.
I pretty sure Walgreens will ask questions as other interview places will do try googling job interview questions there are alot useful info teh net regarding job interviews or even pharmacy intern interviews.
So what are the stuff you mailed to walgreens? I have not sent anything yet because I am confused the pharmcy intern application...what are you doing regarding that?

I have not been offered a pharmacy intern position with them they just said to mail the fpgee certificate to them once I get it or copies of teh score sheets which I have not done yet but they did say they are hiring
