I recommend starting off in long term care. It’s less clinical than the hospital setting but you get enough exposure to leverage the experience so you can get hired in a hospital.
As a director of Pharmacy in hospitals for the last 12 years, I've hired more pharmacists without hospital experience than with. Be hungry, demonstrate humility and a desire to learn, and acknowledge there's a gap that needs filled. Everyone working in hospital pharmacy now once had to take their first hospital job. Everyone was once a "no experience" candidate. Don't let it stop you. You might not get a decentralized clinical role at a teaching hospital right out of the gate, but smaller hospitals can really struggle for staff. It's always been my objective to hire the right people and get them to where I need them to perform. Best of luck!
