It took my wife 2yrs to get to this point. For the exam, they just tell you to study everything you learned in pharmacy school, no books to go from, good luck. Once you've passed, then you qualify to start your internship hours (1500 in most states), which vary by state according to law. Following this, you sit for the NAPLEX (National exam) and then depending what state you want to practice, you sit for a law exam. Tough course, but worth it when you're done as the job market is plentiful. | Unfortunately you then get paid in dollars ;-)
