http://atlasrecruiters.blogspot.com/2009/09/news-developments-and-pharmacists.html
Sunday, September 27, 2009. News Developments and Pharmacists. Pharmacists have a lot on their minds these days: the recession, long-term job prospects, healthcare reform, and the pending flu season to name a few concerns. The Recession and Pharmacists. As a result of the pharmacist shortage, employers have been forced to do more with less. Automation is helping. Pharmacists are being trained on new systems and freed up to do more challenging work. Rather than being a threat to their jobs, au...My passio...

Wednesday, April 14, 2010. Consumers are paying more for their prescription-drugs and insurance coverage co-payments even with more generics and discount programs being used this year.

Meanwhile, branded prescription co-pays now go as high as $80. A Day in the Life of a Pharmacist. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists ha...

Monday, November 16, 2009. To Relocate or Not. The economy has affected everybody in one way or another. The good news for pharmacists is that you have job security at a time when so many others don't. But even so, things could be better job wise for a number of reasons thanks to our struggling economy. Has dropped as general unemployment has risen nationwide. While it is good to be loved by employers, working longer hours and having less time off really is not an expression of love.

Sound Off: Pharmacy: A Changing Profession
http://atlasrecruiters.blogspot.com/2010/05/pharmacists-changing-profession.html
Sunday, May 16, 2010. Pharmacy: A Changing Profession. While some retail chains are closing their 24-hour pharmacies, hiring fewer pharmacists and using lower-cost technicians to fill the gaps, they are also driving many independent, family-owned community pharmacies out of business.

In some cases, pharmacists are being ov...

http://atlasrecruiters.blogspot.com/2009/08/retail-vs-clinical.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. I talk with hundreds of pharmacists every week about their jobs; the things they like and the things they don't. One of the points they bring up again and again is that many retail pharmacy jobs no longer involve having close personal relationships with customers. The big retail chains emphasize volume and productivity over relationship building and counseling. Even hospitals, where pharmacists too often worked tangently, are integrating pharmacists in their patient-care teams to...
