Dear Ninah,
your posts have been very helpful as I just passed FPGEE and am currently looking for an internship position. I needed to get an idea of how much interns get paid an hour and I am thrilled at the prospect of making 27 dollars an hour. You just made my day ![]() Basically I would like to know which state you are in as I would imagine that you get paid differently in different states. I see that you are choosing between two great chains. If I was in your situation I would probably ask for the resume of the pharmacist who is going to be supervising you during internship. I think the more qualified and skillfull he is, the better he/she will be at mentoring you. Just an idea. |

Hi y'all,
Congratulations too, ninah! I just came from a CVS interview. Yeah, it was nice. Nothing formal (although I was advised and so, had to wear a suit). Anyway, offer was $24.8/hour. Will still meet with Walgreens in 2 weeks. Question to anyone who might know though... offers are in CA, but I would want to practice in Texas (my boyfriend is in TX). Anyone knows a company in Texas sponsoring intern pharmacists? In the name of luuuv , help, please!!!! |

Hi APha,
Congrats on your results and also for the fact that you got interview calls. Just wanted some advice from you-I'm in CA, visited my local pharmacies and got DM #. Gave them calls and left messages-do you think they'll call back. How did you approach them? Please help. Thank you. |

Do your internship with Walgreens...but don't take an offer after graduation. Go w/ Walmart's Pharmacy...a better deal. 4-10 hr days and 3 days off! A very good friend of mine was Walgreens Pharmacy Mgr and she left. She was an emerging pharmacy leader to boot...she was on track to become a walgreens district pharmacy supervisor. She is now a RPh w/ Walmart and says its the best choice that she made in her life and is happier. Use Walgreens for you internship and leave after that...looks good on a resume and Intercom Plus is an excellent system to learn from.

Your next step is to wait for FPGEE certificate. You can call nabp to make sure that it is being processed. While you are waiting, you should start looking for internship positions so that once you receive certificate you can go ahead and apply for internship licence with Pharmacy Board in your country. I think the proceedure is different from state to state so you should go to the site of your state's Pharmacy Board and look up what you have to do to apply for internship. Congratulations and good luck.

Wow! I just read all these messages today. I had an interview w one of the chains mentioned above and I was told to apply as a tech w starting pay of $9.50/hr, will go up to $9.85/hour after 6 months of training as a tech then after my required intern hours, I will be paid 26.25/hr if i want to work beyond my intern hours. once i pass NAPLEX, i will be 52.50. What state offered the 27/hr? Mine is NC.

Hi guys,
I'm in trouble-I received the FPGEC and have to apply for Intern License in the CA board of Pharmacy. But, since I'm on TD visa status-I don't have a SSN and I need that for filling out the form. I talked with both the board as well as SSN office. But, they say that's the rule. Wanted to know if someone has a reply to that-will be greatly appreciated. Thank you |
