Hospital Pharmacist Job Qualification Question

I'm sure this has been mentioned many times on SDN in that it is becoming increasing harder to find a hospital pharmacist position without having completed a PGY1 residency program or at least a year of actual pharmacist experience in the hospital setting.

I am a new grad who was fortunate enough to find a clinical pharmacist position without a residency in a large academic teaching hospital. However, it is in a semi-rural area that is 2 hours away from my hometown and would love to find a job a move back there someday within the next couple of years once I have some experience under my belt.

In order to improve my chances of obtaining a position in my hometown (urban, metropolitan area), would I still need to do a residency or would having some actual experience and obtaining my BCPS in 3-years be equivalent to a residency?
