Re: How long after we mail to the registration papers?

[Guest guest]

I called them. They update their systems on TUesdays.

If you look at their website, you can view if you are

registered or not yet. When I called, they said it

would take about 2 wks. I am hoping mine is okayed on

Tuesday. Then when it is, you dont have to wait

until you receive the post card to pay, you can just

pay on line.

State registrations?

I passed the test in July. Finally got around to getting myself fingerprinted

and writing a check and sending it of to the Mo State Board of Pharmacy in

November.

I called them right before Christmas about the status. There's a 16 week

backlog.

However, a local grocery chain has contacted me about a weekend only job and as

long as the registration is pendin/being processed by the state you are a-ok to

work.

Well, I am in Texas, so I had to register with the

Texas pharmacy board. That is the site I went to. I

did not have to pay anything, when I called, they

said I would pay when I was registered, and that they

mail a letter, and you return the money or go on line

and pay.

get my tech in training certificate.

Sorry folks, I was away on Saturday so I did not post on this when it was first

posted. Had I been here I would have immediately asked you which state you were

talking about.

In California, the time it takes to hear back from the state board of pharmacy

is not a set time. Some of my students hear within 1 month, others within 6

months. The average is about 2-3 months to clear fingerprints and qualifications

etc.

Other states may take less time especially if fingerprints are not required.

Checks or money orders are usually cashed asap.

Hope this helps.

Really up to 6 month? Thats crazy considering I believe Jeanetta has

said that one could not work untill this process is completed.

Luckily, I don't need to work right now, although I'd like to. But,

thats just too long too wait if one needs to work right away.

It's

been about a week so far.

Dear Yuri,

Law is Law! And protecting the public ( Q. Public) is the main

goal of pharmacy. Therefore checking the state qualifications

including education, certification, fingerprints (criminal background

check) etc is a MUST. All of which takes time. This is what your $50

in California to State Board of Pharmacy is used for! It is not an

automatic thing. I can not speak for other states, as my experience

and knowledge is in Ca.

One year I presented a CEU on state laws and how they vary, each time

I looked up a state it would change within a month or so. It was one

of the hardest CEU's I have ever had to prepare for. constant and

radical change is currently going on in all states. I have heard that

land is going to require PTCB soon.

Some states may issue a temporary permit to practice or train in

pharmacy, which ones I do not know. But what I am saying is that I do

not know ALL of the state laws. I do not believe anyone on this site

does! So this site depends upon the input of members from various

states 'in the know'. Because of this much is 'hearsay' and MUST be

checked out by each individual member by visiting the site for the

state board of pharmacy for their individual state and if necessary

making calls to the board.

I would accept truth from those who teach and must get the students

eligible for hire, those that do hiring and those who 'recently' have

gone through a registration, education, certification and/or hiring

process.

To be blunt: YES you must wait until the state board of pharmacy of a

given state verifies your qualifications. The time will vary from

state to state, time of year and work load of the board.

Hope this helps you out,

Respectfully,

Dear All,

Once again NOT in the state of California. So it may be okay in MO, to

work while paperwork is pending, but NOT in CA and NOT in Washington

and MANY other states.

But I would CAUTION you to CHECK with your state board of pharmacy

ESPECIALLY if your employer is an independant small pharmacy. Some

pharmacists are not up on the recent changes in the state laws.

State board inspectors do not usually go out on the weekends to check

pharmacies. So some places will try to hire you for weeekend work only

until your paperwork goes through. YES I know it is against the law in

some states. But what is done in practice and what is the law are two

different things. I am not saying it is the most common, just that it

can happen.

Example: the posted speed limit is 35mph, but many drivers knowingly

break the law driving at 45 mph.

KNOW your STATE LAW by checking it out YOURSELF!!!

Thanks Yuri! We would all like to know how long it takes Ca St Board

of Rx to reply to you.

My students are currently waiting for about 3 months.
