Gertrude Said:

What does a long term care pharmacist do?

We Answered:

You provide the meds for the people in the long-term care facility only. Whereas in a hospital and retail, you serve different people all the time, you will not in the facility. In a retail pharmacy you will have opportunity to make personal contact with the customers, you do not have that opportunity really either in the hospital or the facility. It depends on if you are a people person or not.
