We just had a new baby and it is becoming very hard to work full-time
and taking care of our baby. My wife is pharmacist and she would like
to stay home and raise our daughter, but that would be a big pay cut
for us. Is there such a job that the pharmacist can work from home? if
there is i need the company name, location and job posting it can be
any where in the usa.

I can't imagine she'd be allowed to store conrolled substances, and
fill prescriptions, in your home. (Though granted, I haven't looked
that up :)

She may well be able to find some good-paying, fairly steady freelance
work -- maybe even a full-time, salaried telecommuting job -- as a
medical researcher and writer, or copyeditor.

Pharmaceutical companies do employ freelance and staff copyeditors --
would that be of interest to her?

Thanks Nancylynn-ga I don't think she would be interested to in freelance work

I had this very same question. However, there are places who hire
pharmacists to work from home, basically doing order entry or order
verification. The pharmacist will log into his/her home computer and
perform duties that way. I posted a similar question on another site,
here is the best response I received:

"This is becoming more common (especially as previously mentioned
because of JCAHO). Some large companies, like Cardinal, have
"electronic" pharmacists enter orders offsite but they actually have
various central locations where the pharmacists are located. Some
hospitals don't want to use the big companies and have pharmacists
doing this from home, part-time or full-time. Some of the main factors
are your location-do you have DSL capability?, getting connected to
the hospital's network- any firewall issues?, long-distance calls- if
you will be calling physicians/nursing will it be a long-distance
call? If you like working evenings/nights/weekends, which is when most
hospitals use this service, it can be a great way to work. Good Luck
if you pursue this. I would love to do it but can't make the switch at
this time."
