Default Re: motivation to do pharmacy

Hi farah.

I'm coming to the end of my pre-reg year in hospital and i've accepted a job offer to stay on next year.
I love working in hospital; the work is interesting, you get to rotate through all the bits of the hospital - you're always learning so it keeps the job interesting. There's good job security and you feel valued by the staff you work with.

Beyond junior level, the more senior pharmacists are on better money, but stress comes with that. That said they do seem to have a good level of input writing prescribing guidelines/D&T comittee.

The drawbacks whihc i've found are the on-call commitments can be a pain and the pay is lower than community.

I don't regret doing pharmacy at all.
