Even retirees whose former employers continue to offer coverage until Medicare kicks in at age 65 can expect a bit of sticker shock. As health-care costs continue to rise, companies are reducing coverage or requiring retirees to pay more.
Education Law requires that registered pharmacists complete continuing education. A minimum of 45 contact hours (at least 23 live) is required in each three-year registration period. As of September 1, 2003, the 45 hours required must include at least 3 credits (home study or live) of formal continuing education on strategies and techniques to reduce medication and prescription errors.
Confidence votes 8. I don't know how out dated that answer is, but pharmacists can easily clear upwards of $150,000/year--I've even heard of one that made $214,000 in their first year out. Graveyard pharmacists at the hospital inpatient pharmacy where I work make close to $70/hr, get paid for 40 but only work 35 hours/week. On average a pharmacist makes about $44.95 an hour. A Pharmacist salary is about $93,500.
