Pharmacist

I am a pharmacist who took 11 years off to be a full-time mom, and now I am looking to switch into a new healthcare profession. Anyone have suggestions on what kind of healthcare jobs are out there for someone like me?  I would consider going back to school to get a new degree or certification but I prefer something that would take no more than 2 to 3 years of training/school.

    Pros

    Great top down culture. They live it, not just talk about it. Comes from once being family owned. You can feel the difference. I like my boss, he likes his boss. Entire regional team is very supportive and they want to help. In turn, leadership at the community level works hard to emulate the service philosophy. Sure, everyone makes mistakes. We work to recover, learn, and move forward. We treat our team members like gold....because THEY are the ones that do the real work!

    Cons

    The entire industry continues to experience transitions in team members, even worse thru and since COVID. We have a group of solid longevity TMs with many years at our location. We continue to look for like-minded TMs that will join us for a career taking care of our resident family, and each other.
