Dear Ninah, I am in the same boat as you are. I am very stressed too. I hope we do good. I have my test in 4 weeks too. Send me a private message if you want to discuss some topics and we can help each other during preparation. Thanks, Sonal

Hi Aflexatabs, what is CPR training? Can you tell me what it is? Thanks, Sonal

Hey farmispilt, Do not worry. Try Acme pharmacy . May be they have something for you. Keep trying that is the only way to get some internship. Sonal

Hi, As long as you got your license no one cares. It does not say on your license volunteered internship. License is a license. As long as you have it, that's all that matters. Sonal -

hi himanshu, It is possible to do what you are doing. all the best Sonal

Hi, Has anyone any experiences to share about NJ internship? Also, I had a friend from this forum, her screen name was pallu. I have lost her phone number and had not been in touch with her for 3 months since I had been away. If pallu, you see this message, call me. If anyone has any information about internship in NJ kindly share it here. Thanks, Sonal

Hi, Bhakti , have you taken pre-naplex? how does it look like? how is the distribution of questions? Should we take it since very little time is left. What is everyone using for calculations? Take care, Sonal

Hi, I am also planning to take Naplex in next 10 days too. Sonal

Hi, I spoke to a friend of mine and she said that generally interviews are basically to see how we would handle the pharmacy. She said they will just ask us general questions no drug related questions. Thanks, Sonal

Hi, I am in PA. Can you shed some light on how the interview is? Thanks, Sonal

Hi friends, Has anyone taken an interview with Savon/Supervalu/Acme group of Pharmacy. Can someone give me an idea what an interview with them looks like. I have heard that some pharmacy chains give you a questionnaire which involves drug related questions. If so, do you think I should revise our NAPLEX notes? I would appreciate your timely responses. Sincerely, Sonal

Hi asmaa, I passed MPJE a few months ago. I studied from the Manan Shroff CD for Michigan and the Riess and hall book for Federal law. Also go through the yellow book from Michigan.The yellow book is very theorotical so may be you want to go through the Manan shroff CD to remember things in points. Don't give up. It's doable. Sonal

Hi, Does any one have an idea how much CVS and Rite - Aid pay for an intern in Pennsylvania? How much do they pay in New Jersey as an intern? If anyone knows the best company to work with respect to pay rate and other aspects in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, kindly let me know Thanks, Sonal

Hi friends, I am planning to take NAPLEX hopefully in the last week of december 2007. Anyone who is planning to take NAPLEX around this time can send me a private message and we can discuss about the study. Thanks, Sonal

Hi asmaa, Thanks for the exact reply. I appreciate your response. Thanks, Sonal

Hi, NAPLEX was suspended earlier in August and reinstated in October . Now it is reinstated. Sonal

Hi, I am not asking about controlled substance license for a pharmacy etc. This is not a question for MPJE. I just wanted to know that I have heard if we have already applied for CS license then we get the MPJE score quicker else it takes 7-10 days for score to show up and our status updated as Pharmacist. Reference is that if you go on Michigan website, and enter say a last name / first name then it says CS-Pharmacist Pharmacist thats when your status is as a Pharmacist. I will be calling Michigan board on Monday about this CS business. If anyone knows anything about it let me know. Sonal

Hi friends, Someone told me that we have to apply for a controlled substance license in michigan. Do we have to apply for it before MPJE? Does someone know anything about this CS license.?? Thanks in advance, Sonal

Dear Aixa, I hope things get better and hopefully by December / Jan the hiring will start in our state. Please don't loose hope, I know this whole process is so frustrating, but keep patience. I think the chains will start hiring in east coast again by dec/ jan. I would wait for 2 months and see, if situation does not change by jan end then you may think of relocation. I will be doing the same thing. So lets wait and see. If any one has any more infoormation kindly let us know or guide us. Thanks, Sonal

Hi mirozoza, I spoke with the rite-aid lawyer who does the H1-B's and he said that since the Naplex was suspended for a few weeks, at present they are stuck with a lot of interns already. Also sponsorship depends on the requirement in our particular state. If we are ready to relocate to some other state Rite-aid might still sponsor. Regarding CVS and walgreens , my experience is the same as your's. I am married in NJ, so I cannot relocate from here. If relocation is an option for you, you might tell that to the chains and that might help you find sponsorship. Keep me posted on your updates. Sonal

Hi friends, I am taking Michigan Pharmacy Law exam in a few days. I am sure there are many of you out there taking the exam sooner or later. All of those who have already taken the test kindly guide us, what areas to study, any and all of your help is highly appreciated. Thanks, Sonal

Dear swami81, Did you need sponsorship for H1-B and did you recently get internship in Walgreens? Kindly let us know as this might give us update idea of the market around. I am trying in PA and NJ area. If anyone knows any pharmacy chains that are sponsoring , it would be a great help. Thanks, Sonal

Hi mirozoza, I am in the same situation as you are. Can you tell me if you found internship/sponsor anywhere. I spoke to CVS and Riteaid, and they are not sponsoring as of now. What is your update? Anybody else searching for sponsor's , do let us know the situation at your ends. Thanks, sonal
