That is why we have created our own pharmacy management division to provide transitional leadership.

Patient care is our bottom line, and we reflect this in every aspect of our business.


With their strong experience and skills, our pharmacists can provide an array of services, including but not limited to:

management and supervision of pharmacy personnel and operations;
pharmacy design, lay-out, set-up;
management of interim and permanent placement;
inventory management;
pharmacy and therapeutics committee support;
clinical pharmacy programs; and
preparation for Joint Commission, federal and state surveys.

May I interview potential candidates?
Yes. First, CareerStaff Rx interviews and screens each healthcare professional, whether travel, direct hire or temporary staff, to determine that he or she meets our high clinical, professional and personal standards. Then, for direct hires, we arrange a telephone interview between you and the prospective employee that is followed by a personal interview. For travel contract staff, we arrange a telephone interview between you and the prospective employee.

What quality assurance measures does CareerStaff Rx follow?
CareerStaff Rx maintains current, complete personnel files for all employees who meet state, federal and OSHA requirements. If you need additional information about an employee prior to or during a survey, we can provide the requested information promptly.

Is using CareerStaff Rx cost-effective?
Absolutely. Our flat rate incorporates hidden costs that employers pay but rarely see, such as benefits, vacation, liability insurance and training. Often you'll find that when these costs are added up, you'll save money by using our pharmacy personnel.


Are your pharmacists trained in specialized areas?
Our pharmacists and technicians have a variety of specialties, including long-term care, hospital, home infusion, retail, etc., and are available when you need them. Just let us know when you need someone and in what area of expertise, and we’ll work with you to find the right match.


Do you have good pharmacists?
This question really addresses two different topics. First, CareerStaff Rx hires only the most qualified pharmacy staff. To us, that means hiring individuals who are technically competent, computer literate, flexible, professional and able to get the work done in a friendly manner that helps build your organization…and ours. Second, all of our pharmacists are thoroughly screened through their employment history and the Board of Pharmacy. They are licensed, in good standing and insured. We believe in our staff so much that we guarantee their ability to serve your needs--or we'll find a suitable replacement.

What computer systems are your pharmacists familiar with?
Almost all of our pharmacists are trained on multiple versions of the most popular systems, including PDX, Condor, PPC and others. However, in our experience, individual companies often have slight variations in their programming of these common systems, and sometimes they want special training set up for their fill-in pharmacists. If that’s the case, our team will work with you to coordinate special customized training at your facility to ensure computer competency.


Are your pharmacists updated?
Yes, each is currently licensed, in good standing with the Board of Pharmacy, and has malpractice insurance. Our pharmacists are prepared to step in to your work environment to handle their professional responsibilities.
