My path to success began with unfathomable pressure and consequently, failure. Remember – if at first you do not succeed, try, try again.
After failing my NAPLEX twice I reached out to one of my former professors from pharmacy school for advice. I needed new study material and support to try again. Having recently being introduced to RxPharmacist, she recommended I email them to see if they could help. I reached out as suggested and after one phone call with the founder of RxPharmacist I had been offered the opportunity to write a study guide for my upcoming AL MPJE and receive study help for my next attempt at passing the NAPLEX.
I was given access to professional medical writers that could guide me through writing the Alabama Pharmacy Law Review and a practice exam to go with it. My preceptor/editor helped me learn the ins and outs of medical writing and editing. I felt the steep learning curve, but I worked hard and got the job done. My editor and the founder supported me throughout the writing process, and I learned the best way to write a guide and the questions necessary for the practice exam. After completing the guide and the practice exam, I got to build the online course. With my love for informatics, building the online course was my favorite part of this experience.
As part of this opportunity, I have also been part of the RxPharmacist “How to Get a Job” series where the founder teaches how to network effectively, craft your resume, compose your cover letter, prepare for an interview, and negotiate salary once you receive the job offer. This information has been invaluable to me, and I cannot thank RxPharmacist enough for allowing me to be a part of this educational series.
I have been given access to law and NAPLEX study materials, instructed in the intricacies of medical writing and editing, and the nuances of getting a job. With support of RxPharmacist behind me and the confidence to do what needs to be done I can get my license and my dream job.
The path to success has many turns and speed bumps, but with the right support and self-confidence you will reach your destination.
