Like what I said, if she's approved an H1B and she's currently in the US - she doesn't need to go back to her country to get it stamped. It's only necessary IF SHE WANTS to go back home for a visit, then she will need it stamped at the US Embassy. Going back home JUST TO GET IT STAMPED is not necessary. She can start working with just the Notice of Action approval paper. If still not satisfied with the answer, then go research for it.

I suggest she seek the lawyer's advice and follow it. I dont think she really needs to go back in her country for the stamp. Its not necessary anyway. Why does she wants to go back home?

Have your friend ask her sponsor to provide her the contract. She will need that and the INS' Notice of Action of her H1B approval. There should be no problem then if she goes home and get her H1B stamp. Only if she's on the 3rd stage of GC process or the change of status stage - she should not travel out of US.

i heard from a colleague at work who's an intern said that the CPJE will no longer be administered by Prometric. it will be transfered to another testing agency. they said this should only cause delays in processing applications during the time of the transfer but will not affect the contents of the exam itself. likely the format of the exam program or system will change as well as availability of testing centers... this new company could also be less faster in processing schedules etc... Prometric is a huge testing company and has many locations. i dunno why CA has to change companies. Prometric is already doing a great job! Naplex was there, TOEFL was there, candidates are already comfortable with Prometric, why change now??

foreign or local graduate - why should they allow one be excempted than the other?? the fact that the page that says Institutional Setting hours are required and even an affidavit of it is included - it NEVER said that FOREIGNERS need not fill that out! that information is preposterous! :rolleyes: :eek:

I am selling my Manan Shroff practice test CD for CPJE. Has 150 Q&A. Send me a PM if interested.

no, i did not use that book. maybe it is helpful and will boost your scores

The book is: "A Guide to California Community Pharmacy Law" by Fred Weissman I got this book from a good friend. Maybe if you could check some Pharmacy colleges (UCSF etc) you may find the book, if not online. Study as you do with Naplex, then add this book and updates from the CA Board's newsletter "The Script".

i am sorry to tell you but you may have to wait for next year. companies usually start the hiring process during the fall season till winter. the process usually takes at least 3 months prior to April to give them enough time to work on your paperwork. if the month of Feb-March passed by without hearing from these companies, you likely dont have enough time to find a company to rush your papers for you to beat the April 1st window. good luck for next year

California Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam

I am selling my CPJE practice test CD from PharmacyExam. It has 150 Q&A. If interested, send me a PM.

review as usual as you did for Naplex - theory, hospital ph SOPs, TPN procedures, patient consultations, community health, except for calculations. they wont give calculators. there is still 2-3 calculations though but they are very easy you can do it short hand. CPJE is much more tricky than Naplex. good luck!

wow!! congratulations! that was pretty fast to get your results! all the best!

starts from $48/hr up to $54/hr as pharmacist.

There's a very handy pocket-sized book that is very useful while studying: Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia. The latest 2006 edition's cover is purple. Its up-to-date, brief but covers essentially what a pharmacist should know. Most pharmacists use them as reference while on the job. You could use them to help you with brand names as you encounter them when you study. So as you study, lets say you are reading APhA, since that book does not always mention all the brandnames as they discuss the generics, use the Tarascon to easily find the drugs and all the basic info you need, as well as what you need to note for counselling patients. It also comes in PDA-user format... Speaking of PDA, if you have one, look for Epocrates. They have free downloads that you basically need. There are other pocket references out there like the Prentice Hall's Drug Guide. But I prefer the Tarascon coz its really handy. You could take it along with you anywhere, at work in your lab coat or while in study, it fits in any small purse. Its just as small as a Reader's Digest. But you'll be surprised how remarkably useful it is. Good luck.
