Already checked into that several years back and hubby and I both decided NOTHING doing. First of all, I refuse to pay out any more money to relicense in another state.......it's a racket. Secondly between the number of seniors on meds in Florida and the opioid situation in the surrounding area it would be like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
Realistically, I should have stayed in hospital pharmacy which I did my first 15 to 20 years before leaving to help out my husband with the business he was running at the time. Working retail pharmacy is an early burn-out job. I'm still able to do it because I'm in good health but I've seen pharmacists in their 40's already in poor health from the long work hours with no breaks to eat or even go to the bathroom. Between poor eating habits which develop as a result, standing on your feet 10-12 hours a day, and just the overall stress level of the job it is not unusual to have failing health at a much younger age than normal. This is the biggest reason my husband pretty much left the profession before he was even 55 and I've decided on a cut off date myself. Not worth sacrificing your health.
