NC used to not require FPGEC for the internship, but the policy will be changed starting Aug 1, 2008. you may refer to the news on NCBOP.org. you still have about a week to turn in the internship form to the board if you can find a sponsorship before Aug 1 without having FPGEC.

Hi, just saw you got non-traditional pharmD in US? which scool? can yo prodive me a link? and what's the tuition cost and how long does this program last? Thanks

Most of the time it goes with TBW unless IBW is mentioned or patient is malnourished or it is specifically for DIG or aminoglycosides. Hope it will help. -

the general rules for it is: 1. use IBW with DIG & aminoglycosides 2. use TBW with PCNs, vancomycin, sulfa, etc 3. with malnourished use IBW 4. with obese patients, adjust C&G answer for BSA

Do we have scratch paper to use during NAPLEX exam? Thanks

do you know how long it takes to get NAPLEX score released to us after taking the exam? Thanks

you will be fine. 89 is not a bad score, and you still have 10 days to study, you definitely will pass! Are you using Kap too? I studied it too, may I ask you a couple of questions in that book through PM? please let me know... I was told that AphA is the best, so i am planing to read it over one more time. thanks

Hi Swetan, Thanks for the reply, I took the pre FPGEE about 2 weeks prior to the real exam, the score was really close to the real exam. When will you take your NAPLEX? and how confident are you so far? Thanks

Is the pre-NAPLEX useful? and the score close to the real NAPLEX score?ry to see if it's a good indictor. And the format and difficulty of the NAPLEX still similar as the before the NAPLEX suspension? Thanks

I think it really depends on the store that you are working, some people are nice, some are not, those people may be anywhere, doesn't matter it's Walgreens or CVS or Walmart. I have worked for CVS and Walgreen. I met a couple of those people at CVS, but luckily all people at the Walgreens I worked with are so nice. My opinion is that it is just "luckiness" not which chain.

Hi knok, just curious, in which state does your friend get offer at rate of $68/ is this rate come with benefit package? is this from a chain store? Thanks

What happened? Feel sorry for you that not being treated fairly. Just give us a little details. Then we can learn and avoid some bad things from happening in the future.

SRJ: You are right! thanks for the good news, since we don't need take the practical exam, we may get our licence sooner w/o wait for June or Jan exam date any more, i will contact board in details. thanks

When I asked my pharmacy manager about the practical exam, she told me that's very easy, it is a whole day exam, offer only twice a year, at June and January at Chapel Hill; She told if you can pass NAPLEX then no problem to pass the practical exam. Take care

I think NC and WI have practical exam too.

But NOVA SOUTHERN UNI in florida 2 year PharmD is only for RPh ! please let us know id it's wrong. thanks for sharong info with us

you need to have FPGEC to apply for the internship in Ohio.

IL only requires 400 hrs for the internship, but the board requires 5-yr program, they need review your school programs to see if you can be approved for the internship, all hours need to be started after the approval process and under certain preceptors, and the review process may take 6 months itself, the contact tel# 217.782.8556, Good luck!

Does anybody here know what's the exact procedure to be licensed in IL after getting FPGEC? Thanks

you only can do NAPLEX score transfer before you take the exam, after the NAPLEX, you need the license transfer.

I called NABP and confirmed, if we don't need to be licensed in TX, we don't need to take MPJE for TX, just do NAPLEX score transfer from TX to the state which you want to be licenced in, and MPJE exam for that state too, of course the internship hours... and I also tried to confirm this with Texas board of Pharmacy, but the person who is in chagre of this is not available, so I just left a voice message, if i heard something different , then I will post it again.

Please help me to clarify in details, thanks. I am thinking to take NAPLEX soon and plan to do score transfer from TX to other states. thanks

So, if I want to take NAPLEX before the intership, I can just do NAPLEX score transfer from TX to other states , since I haven't apply for NAPLEX yet, I still have chance to get it right, then I don't need to take TX MPJE, just to take MPJE and other requirement for the state I want to get licensed. Do I get it right? thanks

does anybody have contact info for Walgreen intership coordinators? I don't need H1 sponsorship, just the intern position. Thanks
