  1. i used stoklosa and i think it was perfect. covers just about everything and is very easy-to-read.
  2. Hi Aleksandra. congrats on your Rph. Are you from Georgia?
  3. Congrats happy pill! I have already been working as an RPh for 2 weeks now! Finally! It has been a long ride:) Wish you all the best:)
  4. Rxprep is enough, great book, easy to read, however might not be detailed enough if u graduated long time ago.

    Thank you guys! I am super excited:) I really did not have any materials for florida law, the only thing i did was I went online to Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine found chapters on pharmacy and controlled substances and glanced over them. I didnt spend too much time doing it. I focused on federal law and im glad i did cause i thought it was 80% of the exam. during the test they dont really tell you they are specifically asking about florida law. the use expressions such as "in this state....." etc. but if you learnt a lot during your internship, you shouldnt have any problems. i spent too much time going over pharmacy law history like all the amendments to FDCA 1938 (Druham-Humpfrey 1951, Medical Devices 1976 etc) and I did not have any questions on that. No dates, no names, no details. The only practice questions i did were the ones in my federal law review book, thats it. and it was enough to pass :)

    I took mpje fl last week and I passed it without any problems.found it easy, easier than naplex. I only studied for a couple of days, and I only used federal pharmacy law review and on fl law questions I used common sense and it was enough.
  7. I just got the results, i passed with a score of 102. So, good luck to all of you! I guess it wasnt as difficult as i first thought :)
  8. Any suggestions on what to study from? Thanks. I already have "Guide to federal pharmacy law" by Reiss and Hall.
  9. Vvfong, when it comes to antivirals - i would focus on combination medication,like for example what consists of Trizivir or Atripla. Plus side effects. Chemotherapy, mostly side effects, MOA and antidotes, like for MTX - Leucovorin. Like I said, if I could, I would have focused a lot more on chemotherapy. I had a lot of questions regarding cancer treatment. And surprisingly - just a few about HTN meds. So, that really was a big surprise. I think my Naplex was more hospital-related. I have not worked in a hospital pharmacy, therefore it was difficult for me. But I still hope I pass somehow...Good Luck. And naomiakua - I feel sorry for you. that mistake should not have happened. We were also given that tiny, cheap calculator that i was constantly getting frustrated with. My fingers could barely fit on those small buttons and i was pressing the wrong ones. Had to costantly check myself and double count everything:) I think what happened to you, was unacceptable. you are right - we pay too much money for it, for something like that to happen...
  10. Hello everyone. I just wanted to share my Naplex experience with you today. I finished my internship mid February and started studying for the test probably the last week of February. During my internship I did not study much. I read a coupld of chapters from Rxprep, but that is all. I was too tired and had too many things going on in order to do both - work, study and take care of my family. I bought two books: Rxprep and Apha but to be honest with you - I only read Rxprep. Apha was simply too much for me! So I chose Rxprep, since it seemed easier to learn from. I graduated a little over 2 years ago so I didn't think it was gonna be a problem (some people think that Rxprep may not be enough if you graduated a long time ago and do not remember much from school). So I stayed home for 5 weeks and studied approximately 9hrs daily. sometimes I studied less, especially on the weekends when I tried to hang out with my family.I read Rxprep and did questions from Lange Q&A a few days before my exam. I also did pre Naplex twice. I passed both times, got 103 and 96. I thought that one of the tests was for sure more difficult than the other one. I took Naplex yesterday. I found it very difficult. I had tons of calculations but they were not too hard. I mean I did that a couple that I had problems with, but most of it was ok. Had infusions, drips, CrCl and TPN. To me, the most difficult part of the exam was that I wasnt familiar with some of the brand names, unfortunately. I did top 200 and it not help. I still came across names I never heard of. Overall, I feel very confused and branwashed. I dont think i did well. I had to guess a couple of times. Will let you know when I get my results. So, if you have any questions, let me know. My suggestions is, be very familiar with all the conversions - metric system to standard, you know Oz, Ibs, grains etc. Do pre-Naplex. It does give you an idea of what to expect. Do antiviral meds and chemotherapy. It is important, even though i thought it wasnt. I didnt have too many CVD, HTN etc questions. Good luck. Aleksandra
  11. Hello. I know this may sound like a silly question but I want to make sure i am doing everything the right way. I am going to finish my internship next week (finally!) and I was trying to figure out what the next step is. Should i just go ahead and register for nalex online and pay all the fees? Or do i need to contact the board of pharmacy first? I did call them yesterday and left a message but no one every called me back. So, please help if you have already done it. Thank you
  12. i still have a few months of internship left but i have not been studying at all. working over 40 hrs a week is very exhausting and there is no way i could study at night and in the evenings. i am sure some people are capable of doing so but unfortunately i am not one of them. i am planning on taking time off after internship and studying for naplex. however, one day of work per week will not hurt you. i would even say - it might help...
  13. Hi, I am looking for rxprep book for naplex, used. please, message me if you have one for sale. Thank you.
  14. one more thing - i did not need sponsorship. i am a green card holder.
