Hospital pharmacy is mostly IV's and injections. A lot of compounding. The staff works with the dr or nurse. Retial pharmacy is mostly pills or liquids (you know that bubblegum antibiotic we all know and love). You deal mostly with the patient. You have to have the insurance plan billed right there on site. The customer can always pay full price/cash for the medication and turn the claim in themselves and be re-imbursed the difference. If you're not a people person you should work hospital. plus you get to wear scrubs to work. who doesn't love that??

What is the difference between a Dispensary and a Pharmacy?
A 'pharmacy' is usually a retail store where prescription medication is dispensed and sold, along with other goods. A 'dispensary' is usually a designated area in an institution such as a school, office building, hospital, and so on, where medications are dispensed, usually without charge. A 'dispensary' could also be, or be part of, a clinic in an institution of some sort, or a separate, stand-alone medical center or clinic, where diagnosis, treatment and dispensing of medication takes place. The term 'pharmacy', though, is used to describe a dispensary in, for example, a hospital. The term 'dispensary' is rarely used to describe a retail pharmacy, though some pharmacies use signage such as 'Dispensary' to indicate a part of the store dedicated exclusively to supplying prescription medication, or medication which required labeling with the purchaser's name and other data, in areas where this - and the pharmacist's advice on usage - is required either by law or by industry self-regulation. So, while there is a clear difference between the two terms, they can be interchangeable.
