Pharmacist - NIGHT SHIFT - Pharmacy

The Community - Baltimore, MD

Baltimore's Inner Harbor was once the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States and a major manufacturing center. After a decline in major manufacturing, industrialization and rail transportation, Baltimore shifted to a service-oriented economy, with the Johns Hopkins Hospital (founded 1889), and Johns Hopkins University (founded 1876), now the city's top two employers.

Famous residents have included the writers Edgar Allan Poe, Frederick Douglass and H.Mencken, jazz musician James "Eubie " Blake, singer Billie Holiday and baseball player Babe Ruth. Almost a quarter of the jobs in the Baltimore region are in science, technology, engineering and math, in part attributed to its extensive undergraduate and graduate schools.
