11,500 students took the NAPLEX last year. 9600 for this year would be a huge drop but they're 4 years delayed stats, right? We shouldn't be surprised at figures like that.

Lee Vermeulen has no credibility as far as I'm concerned.

Vanguard says n/a and I'm too much of a lazy ass to calculate it. 1 Yr it says 27%

I can't stress this enough to students who rotate through my site. The Texas pharmacy law book is longer than the Texas medical board book, two dental examiner books stacked on top of each other, and three veterinary board law books stacked on top of each other. Dispensing Xanax to a patient is...

I have another prediction. We won't have the usual 3 presidential debates. Now that we know the election will be Biden vs Trump round 2, there's little incentive for these to happen. One of them will go on Joe Rogan and it either destroys his campaign or propels him to victory. By the way, I...

The winner of the presidential election this November will receive less than 70 million votes. Just for perspective, the loser of the 2020 election got 74 million votes.

Not wanting to leave your job because of the PTO benefits is probably one of the funniest things I've ever read.

Walmart still sends flyers to my home address offering PIC sign on bonuses of $80k. We've had a few positions open up in our ambulatory care company and it took a lot just to get a pharmacist to consider an offer. There is no doubt in my mind that state boards will be forced to open up...

GPA above 3.0? Here's a $15,000 scholarship to attend UNT! One of the few schools that hasn't seen a decrease in NAPLEX test takers over the last 5 years is now giving away money...

A local pharmacist sued NABP as part of a class action lawsuit over this and won! Settlement is over $800,000. Here's the link being circulated https://pharmacyexamsettlement.com/home

I'm hearing from students and alumni of schools across the country that the class of 2027 might be one of the smallest in over 30 years. Several schools in Texas have less than 30 entering their P1 year. Pharmacist job shortage 4 years from now? I still don't think so. Technicians are the...

Professional obligation.

If you don't like your boss, just quit. If you can't handle a tough preceptor in your P4 year then you should drop out of pharmacy school.

I don't want to repeat things that have already been said that I agree with (life sucks, it's not fair, these people shouldn't exist but they do, etc). But I'll say this to your point about the Rho Chi student: you need to have enough self awareness to not ask for a reference from someone who...

A Walgreens walkout is destined to fail. There's no reason for any of their demands to be met. Fire the pharmacists and techs that participate, just rip the bandaid off right now. Retail pharmacy is becoming less and less profitable if you don't operate a PBM.
