Hey SuperFlyRN,
Just wondering about your previous pharmacy experiences, why did you
switch careers? did you find pharmacy extremely boring? (were you doing clinical/hospital pharmacy or retail?)

thanks!

I briefly did community and than hospital which I really liked. There was a lot more patient involvement and teaching involved. When I went into pharmacy I was deciding on nursing or pharmacy and (at the time) pharmacists were in great demand and I had already done some previous pharmacy technician experience-so I figured, might as well. Upon seeing the fabulous nurses on the units I figured a change was due. It is nice having both-I can draw on a lot from my previous experience. Thanks for your interest
