If i understand correctly, you have to take and pass Naplex within 5 years of passing FPGEE. But i may be wrong. I will however recommend calling Texas State Board of Pharmacy and explaining your situation to them. They will be able to tell you what you should do better than anyone on this forum.

@Ajay: I sent you a private message.

Hi I am Indian female looking for a study partner to prepare for Naplex. I have Rxprep 2015 book and will be buying access to rxprep question bank soon. If you are someone who has just started or thinking of starting to prepare for the exam, please pm me. We can devise a schedule together. I am aiming to take the exam sometime by March end, let me know. Good luck

I am interested, will pm you.

I will be glad in joining you to prep for Naplex. Will pm you my email and we can chalk out a plan as to how to go about it. Fight on!!

I prepared for 2 weeks and mostly for speaking section where I knew I may have difficulty. I bought ETS official guide and Barron's guide with 10 CDs (a must buy). While Ets guide is close to the actual toefl exam, Barron's guide is more helpful to practice listening and speaking section as practice questions in it are timed. It prepares you better for the speaking section where you need 26/30. Pl. refer to notefull.com website to obtain strategy to answer speaking and writing questions. Their template is excellent. I followed it as is. I follows their free videos. I did not practice by taking all four sections in a row as you get in actual toefl exam but solved each section separately for eg. all speaking sections then all reading sections. This helped me to see how I am doing in each section wrt time and where my weaknesses were. For reading section, I didn't read the passage before hand, but read question one and read para one to get its answer, as given in ETS book. Listening was pretty easy for me. I did not find any notefull videos for this section but it is straightforward. Familiarize your self with the types of questions. For speaking section, I prepared short answers for the topics given in Barron's guide for eg. favorite book, movie, teacher, parent, vacation place, memory from child hood. I did not try to memorize it but if you already know what you like and why, you can prepare for your answers way better in those 15 preparatory secs. I strictly followed the format for other speaking questions from notefull. Writing section, first question is explained very well in notefull, follow that. For Second question remember to write as much as 450 words. Follow notefull for that too. The exam is not difficult, strategize and you will easily pass. Good luck with your preparation. You can do it!! Be confident!

I am interning at a compounding only facility. I have been looking for internship in a retail/hospital facility since May 2014. Most places respond by stating that they have a hook up with Universities - School of Pharmacy or that they accommodate students currently enrolled in an accredited school.

Just curious... Did any foreign graduate have luck finding pharmacy internship - retail/hospital/compounding in Seattle, WA? if yes, please share your experience.

Call Pharmacy board in Florida or email your question to them. They are pretty helpful in directing you as to what you may need.

Hi Gloridae Any luck with intern position?

I am looking for an pharmacy intern position to earn 1000 hrs in Seattle, WA in retail or hospital pharmacy. Have an active intern license for WA. Willing to volunteer my hours and do not require sponsorship (green card holder). Does anyone know a place where internship is available for foreign graduates? It seems most places have a hook up with Univ of Washington. Any help/advice is appreciated. Thx

I am in Seattle, aggressively looking for internship in retail, hospital ...applied to so many places... not one positive reply! All I get is "You have great resume but sorry the position has been filled". It has been three months now. Anyone from Seattle, WA with a success story?

Many Thanks!! I looked into the link for AIDS training and completed 7 hrs of online AIDS training. Also, printed my FPGEE score report. I was wondering if you may be able to advise on whether I should begin looking for internship even before getting my intern license or should I wait until I have it in hand?

I am curious....did you find any intern positions in WA? If you did, let me know if you may have any suggestions/advice will be very much appreciated. I am waiting for my FPGEC certificate and will be looking to complete 1000 intern hrs in WA.
