Awakening
Funny how things go in a certain direction.
I've worked on clinical drug studies back in college. Did the whole study coordinator position right out of college...which lead me to go back to school to become a pharmacist. Picked out two of my rotations (FDA and Investigational Drug) so I could hopefully get back into that niche when I graduated pharmacy school.
And then when a position opens up at the hospital...it took me a while to even ask more about what's involved in it...but I took the chance and asked. Talk to the big pharmacy director himself... only to be told that right now... he just want me to be a pharmacist... in a nice way saying that I need more clinical experience before he would even give me the chance. He told me I knew what it involved... and if that's what I wanted he would help me out ... I just need to work harder.
I pretty much knew that's what I would hear. And he added a few nice compliments and praises about my performance. Shoot. In school, I NEVER thought I would go into hospital. I always thought maybe I would work for a drug company...get into investigational...do studies... I dunno find some different niche. But, it was nice hearing nice things from the big honcho.
At least, I put out there that I have that experience and that I'm interested in being in that position again. I guess if I do stick it out... and I do admit I need more clinical experience... I could get there. Hopefully. That's a path that I wouldn't mind taking. Although since I've been out of the game so long.... I may not like the changes. oh well. who knows?
On another note, I have an interview on Friday. I compared the benefits between my company and this new one... I'll definitely go down a few notches. But, I'll keep an open mind. I just need to see the group dynamics of this company. That's always been the way I based where I could work. It's all about who you work with.
