Pharmacists Jobs? (Las Vegas: where to stay, neighborhood, pharmacist)

[Leilani]

Does anyone know if there are a lot of Pharmacist positions or is there an abundance of Pharmacists and no jobs?

Any tips on where to go or where to stay away from would be appreciated

Thanks!

Google monster nevada pharmacists

Actually googling Pharmacists is not going to answer my question. I believe this is the second time you posted this response to my question in another state. I am looking for a Pharmacist in the area that might have pointers on where is good, where is in need, etc.

If someone asked me about jobs in this area I wouldn't say "google Pharmacists jobs" I would be able to direct them as to the hot area in extreme need, local hospitals that are adding on, places they are going to automation, etc.

Hey Leilani
I cant answer your question with a definate answer, but I can tell you that Walgreens occasionally has a little ad up on the wall offering free/paid training
for Pharm and Pharm Techs,
Now I havent seen it in awhile and it may be that I just havent paid attention
Why not call a Walgreens and talk to a Pharm Tech or even a Pharmacist if they would get on the phone
There seems to be a new Walgreens opening all the time over the past few years, and they always seem crowded and backed up
used to get a prescription filled in 10 minutes now theres usually at least an hours wait to get a script filled
Other Pharmacy's in Vegas are CVS, Rite Aid , Sav-On , the supermarkets usually have a Pharmacy and WalMart even has one but Walgreens are everywhere and alot of the small "neighborhood" drug stores are gone
I got a few scripts that will be filled at the end of the month, If this kid Ive become friendly with is there I'll run it by him and let you know what he says
Good Luck
And I should see the tech around the 30th, I'll post what he says

Hi EX-NY~

You are very kind to offer to do that for me. I appreciate it.

I spoke with a recruiter from Arizona a few days ago and he told me Las Vegas was saturated with Pharmacists like LA. Now I know San Diego is saturated but LA didn't seem to have the same thing. I asked around when I was there. But the pay is HORRIBLE in California. It's about $10 less per hour than I am making here! Can you believe that?

Anyway, you never know if they are changing things around to make you want to go to their area.


Once again, I thank you.

It depends on when you come out. Around these parts, a lot of new pharmacists tend to burn out during the cold season and quit.

Wal-Mart and Walgreens are generally all for hiring pharmacists, if those are companies you want to work for (I wouldn't, but that's me). I'm not sure what the market is for working at a just-pharmacy company.

Leilani where is it you want to go? I know several locations looking for Pharmacist.

There are never enough Pharmacists here. I used to work with Pharmacists at a grocery store and they always had a hard time getting them. The ones I worked with usually worked at two places though. The hours are strange. Usually 9am - 9pm with slightly shorter on the weekends. Most times the one Pharmacist would work the entire shift. So after he put in three days at the store he'd go do fill in for some one else. It also seems like they all know each other.
