Yea here in Texas, externs refers to people that have graduated from pharmacy school, but are not yet licensed. That is the term our school uses for us, although my work officially has me down as a graduate intern. So yea, it is kinda nebulous. And the 1/2 pay until licensing doesn't seem to be the standard anymore like I thought it was....I am lucky enough to be getting 1/2 right now until I get licensed in the next month, but my friends that are starting at CVS are getting 1/4 pay (pretty much the equivalent of P2 intern pay/some are making less at the moment than they did as interns in school), while Wags seems to be paying $25 an hour.
