Luckily, I got into the one pharmacy school I applied to in the area and got my PharmD — a doctorate of pharmacy.
I used student loans to pay for pharmacy school, and because my school was private, I had to take out as much loans as a dentist or a physician, but my pharmacist salary was only a fraction of what they make.
Pharmacists can take many clinical roles in a hospitalThere are infectious-disease pharmacists, cardiology pharmacists, transplant pharmacists, and critical-care pharmacists.
As a clinical pharmacist, I'd do rounds with the physicians in the morning, weighing in on the drug regimens the patients were on.
Hospital pharmacists usually need to work every other weekend.
