NAPLEX National Board Exam Review
Rite Aid will conduct a two-day review session for the NAPLEX national board exam. 2008 Information TBA.

The process of obtaining a license to practice pharmacy is very cumbersome in many states. Unfortunately, there is no nation-wide standardized process for licensure, each state is different.  Although most states use the NAPLEX exam, they have their own unique procedures for obtaining a license.
