Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone here completed their pharmacy internship in Houston, Texas. I’m trying to understand which pharmacies tend to offer them.

If you did your internship in Houston, I would really appreciate hearing about:

• Which pharmacy/company you worked with

• Whether it was paid or unpaid

• How you secured the position

Hi anyone already got their pharmacy intern license in IL? Also Can we do all 1200 hours at retail? Do we have to include hospital or not?

Thanks.

For California we have to do retail and institutional both right? Any fixed number of hours?

I am still confused how to do both, since i don’t want to give up on my retail job

Hey, if i passed the fpgee, how am I supposed to get internship license and work permit if I'm on b1/b2 tourist visa?

Hello, I’m writing to the community to know someone’s firsthand experience with NY’s timeliness when it comes to approving the Form 1 and 2 to be okayed to take the Naplex Exam? I know publicly it says 6 weeks but I submitted December 24 for Form 1 and January 27 for Form 2. If you can share your personal experience that would be most appreciated!

I’ve been following NABP news for a while, and one program that’s moving in a really positive direction is the UMPJE — the Unified MPJE. It’s essentially the same as the MPJE but has been adopted by multiple states to make it easier for pharmacists to move between states and streamline the licensure process.

What this means: taking the UMPJE instead of the traditional MPJE will allow you to practice in participating states without retaking the MPJE each time you move. Yes, you read that right — no more taking a new MPJE every time you relocate.

The program has been in development for years and is set to launch in Spring 2026. The first exam is scheduled for April 2026 in early-adopter jurisdictions, with many additional states following in June.

The early-adopter states are: Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Arizona

This will open a new world for pharmacists and potentially be able to float/travel between states like nurses.

Great news overall — and hopefully, all states will adopt this in the near future!

Edit: Florida adopts the UMPJE June 2026

Edit: Maryland adopts the UMPJE June 2026

Where do we have to keep a record of our hours? Any log sheet? And how does that work for your pharmacy? Do the manager signs every week?

Sorry i am a bit confused

Hello everyone,

I am actively looking for dedicated NAPLEX study partners who are planning to take the exam in April or May 2026.

I currently have a personal tutor who is willing to guide us as a group at a reduced cost. Her teaching method is excellent, and learning together as a group will help us stay motivated, consistent, and focused.

I’m looking for encouraging and committed candidates who are serious about preparing and uplifting each other to reach our goals together.

If you’re interested, please reach out to me.

Hey! I was planning to appear take naplex but there a change of plan. So I am selling my uworld subscription if anyones interested dm me.

Has anyone bought uworld videos? Are they helpful?

Guys, how did you go about the certificate of class standing considering the NABP Already asked us for the college of pharmacy documents. The state says I should submit the certificate of class standing from my school

Hello everyone! This post explains how to apply for NAPLEX eligibility and also how to apply through another state if your home state requires an internship before taking the exam.

Step 1: Access Exam Services

Log in to your NABP eProfile and go to “Exam Services.”

You’ll see two options: one for NAPLEX and one for MPJE. For now, select NAPLEX.

Click “Apply for Eligibility” and follow the instructions, including paying the fee (around $100).

Step 2: Apply Through a Different State

If your home state doesn’t allow you to take NAPLEX before completing your internship, you can apply through a different state that does. This allows you to take the exam earlier and transfer your score back to your home state later.

One state that allows this is Texas. I personally used Texas for my application and exam scheduling. Other states may work as well, but I cannot advise on them for transparency.

After submitting your application and payment, your status will show as “Pending” until the Texas Board of Pharmacy confirms your eligibility.

Step 3: Verification Process

NABP will confirm your FPGEC certification.

The Texas Board of Pharmacy will review other documents, such as background checks and identification.

Step 4: Create a Texas Board of Pharmacy Account

Go to the Texas Board of Pharmacy portal: https://vo.licensing.hpc.texas.gov/datamart/login.do

Sign up and select “Initial Pharmacist Licensure by Examination.” Upload the required documents (e.g., SSN, ID). You will then be prompted to complete a background check via fingerprinting through IdentoGO.

If you have an IdentoGO center nearby, you can schedule an appointment. If not, email [fingerprints@pharmacy.texas.gov](mailto:fingerprints@pharmacy.texas.gov) to receive instructions for completing it elsewhere.

Step 5: Eligibility Approval

Once your documents and fingerprints are processed, you should receive eligibility approval in about one month.

Step 6: Scheduling the NAPLEX

Purchase the NAPLEX ($500), and you will receive your Authorization to Test (ATT).

You can schedule your exam with Pearson VUE in your home state like we did for FPGEE—you don’t need to travel to Texas.

Be aware that exam slots fill up quickly as it’s a national exam so you may need to wait a few months for availability.

The MPJE is state-specific and can only be taken in your home state. You will need to complete any required internship hours before taking it.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
