Good afternoon,

NEW Fall 2009 Pharmacy Salary Data Available at PharmacyOneSource.com!
Is your salary competitive? See how you stack up!

This survey is the first time we've seen a slight decrease in the average national Pharmacy Team Manager salary. Staff and clinical pharmacist salaries nationwide remained relatively flat.

National, industry-specific, and geographic results from the Fall edition of Mercer's 2009 Pharmacy Compensation Survey are now available at PharmacyOneSource.com. Mercer's Pharmacy Compensation Survey is the result of the largest coast-to-coast pharmacy salary survey ever undertaken. The Fall 2009 survey includes 88 companies representing 253,629 observations!

With independent data gathering and analysis by Mercer, this survey continues efforts to bring the most up-to-date, best-of-category salary data to the highly competitive domain of pharmacy recruitment and retention. Well documented and easy to access, this survey is a data-rich resource providing pay details by job type and work setting, with geographic breakdowns including 389 metropolitan statistical areas across the nation. It is a "must read" by anyone involved in pharmacy pay! Check it out today!

(Make sure when you're comparing salaries you take the cost of living into account with our cost-of-living calculator.)

5. Medical workers balk at mandatory flu vaccines

6. Discussion: Small-town Rural Hospital pharmacist ponderings

"I work in a 107 bed hospital and we had cutbacks recently. Pharmacists were lucky that they kept all of us but we each had to cut back our FTE's. We lost 2+ tech FTE's. Funny, though, pharmacists did get a cost of living raise about 2 months before the cuts." (read entire post/reply)

7. Top News Story Last Week: Hospitals Keep Patients in Dark on Adverse Events

When hospital patients suffer adverse effects from treatments, they seldom get explanations from medical personnel, even though the disclosure may improve patients' ratings of care, researchers said. View last week's News Review

Have a fabulous week!
