Tips For Pharmacists Regarding Switching Pharmacy Jobs:
As a national leader in Pharmacy Staffing for over 27 years, HealthCare Consultants Pharmacy Staffing provides tips for Pharmacists to find the right job in the right place. We talk with Pharmacists daily that are considering switching positions for a variety of reasons. However, before actually making a switch, consider that perhaps simply "re-energizing" yourself first about what motivates you in practicing Pharmacy may be a good idea. In a recent article in Pharmacy Times, Theresa Morrow, PharmD gives some great advice regarding some things we all can do to "re-energize" ourselves as Pharmacists in general.Here are some of her suggestions that you may want to consider trying:1. Attend a CE Class - Many of us do our CE online or from a Pharmacy publication. Consider attending a CE class and meeting some new people or spending time with old friends. The social aspect of attending may stimulate you and reconnect you with our Pharmacy profession. If not a CE class, perhaps a business class or another area of interest may do the trick of "re-energizing" you.2. Attend a Conference - There are numerous national, state and local conferences always going on. Meet some new people, learn about new opportunities and remember to have a good time. Many Pharmacists find that they can get both a vacation (maybe with your family also going?) and come back to work in a "re-energized" mood after attending.3. Network with Local Pharmacists - Find pharmacists in your area who are willing to get together once a month or quarterly. Maybe it's as simple as a regularly scheduled get together for dinner or drinks. Find some like-minded professionals interested in learning more about the industry, and take time to talk through your experiences. You’ll be surprised how much you can learn from others.4. Read - Sometimes getting "re-energized" can be as simple as just reading! Learn about areas of Pharmacy that may interest you or perhaps find a "self help" book to get stimulated to take some positive action. Whatever you personally find interesting, there’s a book, blog, forum or article out there for you read.5. Talk It Out - Before making any major decisions, take the time to discuss your options with a close friend or family member. Lunch or dinner with a peer can never hurt. Perhaps choose a trusted adviser in another Pharmacy role and find out their views regarding the pros and cons regarding their job and employer. It never hurts to hear it directly "from the horses mouth".6. Try it out if you can - If you are perhaps considering changing from your current Pharmacy job to another, maybe look into picking up a shift in a similar setting. Considering switching from Retail Pharmacy to Hospital Pharmacy? See if you can pick up a shift in a local Hospital Pharmacy and "test drive" the job before you switch.If you are considering a Pharmacy job change, remember that whatever setting a pharmacist is looking to work in, HCC can help you!
