Any RPH can you help? Della ?Re: Ohio's Law finally Passes!!

A valid point!

I do know in CA that the application for a pharmacist is that he or

she must sign if they have had a license revoked or suspended out of

state or in state. The must provide all information and details.

California does not have to grant the registration or license just

because they applied.

This is the same for nurses, techs, doctors etc.

Fingerprints have helped identify pharmacists who have had licenses

revoked even if they have not committed a crime per se.

It may not be foolproof, but it is better than it once was.

Ca also just added that LiVE SCAN fingerprints must go to both DOJ

and FBI. I think this helps with a all nation data base.

Della, resident pharmacist may have an other point of view for us.

Any other pharmacists out there care to share?

while I'm not a pharmacist, but i have been told that some states won't let you

become a new pharmacist in their state unless you either graduate from a

pharmacy school in their state or have kept up the license in your previous

state. so if this bad pharmacist was only licensed in Ohio, that would limit

the states he could practice in as well.
