2. Nursing School vs. Pharmacy School

   Pumpkin1621 replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Like I said before, medical school is out of the question. Longer hours, plus you have to have a bachelors degree at my local medical schools. In fact there is only one school where you don't have to have a bachelors degree, but it does say on thei...

   Starting salary for Pharmacists where I live is 90-100k, and the average salary for those with experience is anywhere from 110k-120k. Like I said earlier it would take me 6 years to get a PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy), and the 40 hour work weeks are v...
