FPGEC older than 3 month in Texas

[Rebe]

I want to be clear with Texas state board of pharmacy requirement on Pharmacy interns. It says on the form that we would have to take NAPLEX within three months of FPGEC. What would happen if my FPFEC is older than 3 months and I want to apply for pharmacy intern in Texas? Will they not licence me?

They dont license you if you have crossed 3 months....after certification...the same happened for me, i approached them when I had my certificate for around 4 months....but they didn't accept .....

One thing you can do is start your intern in the state you are and take ur NAPLEX through TX Board and finish off.

Good Luck!!

The problem is I am not in the States but Texas is where I want to move to? Does that mean I can't get licensed in Texas at all? If that is the case, it is very strange.

So, if:
1. I obtained FPGEC certificate in April 2007
2. I apply to Texas state board in July 2008 to sit for NAPLEX
Will they allow me??

Thanks,

HAS ANYONE DONE THIS BEFORE???
