Technically, you are a graduate intern because you already have a degree in pharmacy.

NONOSH · 2008 June 27th, 04:19 PM

thanks you nono.
what you said seem right for us

but when i start applying for a job they considered me an intern, they said graduate intern need to take california test withen 2 test cycle......so they consider me intern becasue i didn't start my hours yet

so what do you think

Hi Nonosh,

I am a foreign graduate too and after I passed the FPGEE and looked for an internship, they paid me as a graduate intern from the beginning. They kept doing that for the entire 11 months it took me to complete the 1500 hours. I am not sure whether it differs from employer to employer, but this is my experience with Vons (Safeway). You are right, it makes a huge difference - with the grad intern pay I could afford daycare, whereas I probably would not even have started an internship if they had not offered that pay

Would you please tell us how much was your pay as graduate intern? and what is the pay for intern?
Which state are you in?

NONOSH · 2008 July 3rd, 07:31 PM

As intern they want to give me 20$, for graduate intern it will be 40+$. I'm in california.....I have this problem with kaiser...they want to consider me intern because i didn't finish my hours

Hi NOnosh,

It's horrible don't ever takeup for $ 20, minimum what people make in every state is around $ 30 for GRAD INTERN. What the pay they mean she'd be for college interns.

Look for a different employer.

Also, I am in UT right now, planing to move to CA, do you people think its a good option...bvecause I am worried about the TAX BRACKET. It is around 9.3%(State Tax). What's your opinion on this?

Do you have any friends and have you asked them the TAKE HOME PAY after TAX????

Just let me know...

Thanks

Hi NONOSH,
I have the same problem with Kaiser. I was just wondering if you got the intern position and how you like it?

I'm having an interview next week, and wanted to know the overall experience.

Thanks!

Forget kaiser,
Rite aid gives 33$/h , and longs give 43$/hour but you have to sign a contract for 3 years with them and you will pay 50,000 if you broke it.
So, I started with rite aid without any contract.

Good luck.
