Smile usa pharmacists i need your advice please

Hello everyone, I am a practicing pharmacist in the uk and have been for almost ten years, was really wondering if the market for pharmacists in california and washington is bad-seems to be from the little research i've done so far. I really wanted to know before I attempt to apply for all the exams etc... as its a long process and need to decide if its a viable option. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I am also from the UK, started the long process of emigratingin June 2007, passed all the exams in 2008, missed the visa date last year but luckily I have a job and visa for this year. There are jobs out there, although maybe not as many as there once were.

If you are thinking about it have a look around these forums and google moving to the USA, it is a long and difficult process and I would suggest only starting it if you are fully aware of the details and significant cost(!) involved.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice, where are you going to? Also how difficult were the exams and how hard was it to get the visa and job? Do you think our working life would be better there as pharmacists?

The FPGEE exam was OK, relatively difficult but if you're well prepared then it should be ok for you. The English exam is tricky although should be ok for you.

I managed to get job offers last year and this year. This year the visa process is a bit easier because of the state of the economy but last year for example there were over 160,000 applicants for 85000 visas so it went to a lottery.
