I'm definitely encouraged that lately things seem to be getting a little better for pharmacy hiring in the last 60 days. I've observed,slowly and selectively, that facilities are starting to hire again. The first of the year was rough for everyone, hospitals and pharmacies included. I anticipate that things should continue to slowly improve throughout the next quarter.
In addition, if you've been waiting and "sitting tight" this may now be a better time to consider making a move. History has shown that the period immediately following a recession and leading out there tends to be a mass exodus of job changers. These are the folks that endured difficult conditions, burnout, stress and being overworked while facilities tried to do more with less.
By no means do I think that we're out of the woods yet, but these signs should be encouraging for anyone in the profession.
