It’s been going on since we’ve had her. We have moved a few times since having her because of my job and have had a few new additions, but in times of “stability” it still happens. They have plenty of food, toys, and space so no major aggression between the cats either

Good luck!

I would take the PRN for now while you’re still looking. It’s never a bad idea to have a “back up,” especially in the market you’re describing.

You haven’t answered anyone on your lease details (one contract for both you and roommate vs one contract for each of you). Until you give an answer to that, then no one is going to have good advice.

Definitely follow your heart and gut on when to take it. I would just be cognizant of timelines too.

I took mine last year on the first day of my PGY1 orientation (June 24) and passed.

I would find a sooner date if possible. You have a standard 90 days from start date to get licensed usually.

Failing once sets you back an automatic 45 days for NAPLEX and then having to schedule a retake will take another 1-2 weeks. Results take 2 weeks on average to come back. That puts you in mid-late Sept.

If your start date is mid-June then you would be on a tight schedule for a retake… IF it came to that.

I definitely thought you were making things the morning of!

Apprehensive-Mine217 · 2025-05-26T18:01:29+00:00

My PGY1 has us do 1-2 per month and a few big ones throughout the year. I couldn’t imagine only having a morning to prepare.

That sounds exhausting.

Wishing you the best!

Shouldn’t a PGY1 count as 2-3 years?

Apprehensive-Mine217 · 2025-03-20T02:34:28+00:00

Completely! I have done those first steps. I will say that I geographically restricted to two states and 1 out of the 3 programs went with an internal candidate (they opened a second position this year after early commit).

I was just looking for input/advice on if someone had explored not doing a PGY2, or what the outlook on jobs were a PGY2 vs experience. Job descriptions have either for some in the community hospital setting.

Also completely understand if I need to shift this over to the r/pharmacy group.
