In Nigeria, Nurses are doctors slaves. I've seen instances where a nurse runs Erands completely out of work for a doctor

Two things are involved, pharmacy must have hurt you in one way or the other..or you have an enemy who is a pharmacist. This hate isn't natural mehnn

U are very emotional.
Tramadol is still in the market bc pharmacist like u import them into the country.
Nobody imports drug into Nigerian without the backing of a licenced pharmacist.

Pharmacists don't go through any shit.
They don't pass through rigourous training like veterinary Drs yet they don't make noise.
They don't pass through what those that studied agric did.
Let me not talk about medicine and surgery.
Men of honour ke
U are very funny.
Seems u are still in school.

Female pharmacists are hot cake in igboland. Not because they will work but bc their certificates are in huge demand for drug importation. Marry them and everything becomes easier. Then open one big drug store with supermarket for her

Check all the big drug stores u know, am I lying?


As per where I live, never mind. I might be in my village

Emzor owner tried bc late dora marketed her. The importers almost ran her out of market even though what she does is mixing up imported active ingredients and they are of low qualities.
I will tell u the deep secrets of pharmacy in Nigeria.
Stop arguing with me.

U need to see these guys feeling on top of the world
Empty brains. Their lecturers mostly advice them to go and learn about the 101 of drugs from the big chemist shops. U guys don't know anything.
Some doing industrial attachments or whatever it's called use medical terms to attend to ordinary people thinking that speaking big grammar makes them special.
U ask them simple question they will start fumbling.

PHARMACY PHARMACY PHARMACY PHARMACY PHARMACY PHARMACY PHARMACY

Abeg show us the way

Jman06:
You have limited knowledge about pharmacy!

Those alluding to the fact that nurses have better opportunities abroad seem not to be aware that no pharmacy opens in America even when the pharmacist is only out for lunch. The pharmacy must remain closed until the pharmacist is back from lunch. They also don't know about NAPLEX which qualifies a Nigerian trained pharmacist for licensure in the US.

Where pharmacists can work include:

Hospital, academic, Industry (production, quality control, sales etc), community, NGOs, Government agencies and parastatals, research institutions, military, etc

In a nutshell, pharmacists have broader scope of work than nurses.

doyinbaby:
Pharmacy where you can be your own boss
Nursing whether in Nigeria or abroad.. you may have to work for people or organisation
But follow that which gives you joy

sorom4:

And who told you that you can't be your own boss in Nursing? As a Nurse Practitioner...you can practice independently or otherwise

amaniro:

Lagusta:


Those are not professional nurses, they are quacks or just being stupid...

No qualified nurse rubs errands for doctors

you are a big pig. I am a king nurse even as a student, never ever sub ro any empty head doctor. if u a doctor, pray to not work with me, they shake when they work with me, I dont take bullshit, I protect my patients like egg. u wanna make any mistake, u end up crying by the time I'm done correcting your stupid assss

Pattypatt:
This actually cracked me up. Pharmacy is better than nursing and you know that, king of nurse ko, queen of nurse ni, nurses can't work without the doctor's supervision, so you guys are directly linked to the doctor. Go and have several seats, if you want to be a king, buy jamb form and apply for medicine and surgery. Doctor will always be your king.

eleojo23:



It is obvious that you have something personal against pharmacists.

camobri:

you will continue to be bitter . i need no stupid mbbs. never was interested, and I'm still the king

Chartey:


It's the numbers. Whether you like it or not there are more openings for nurses even in those places you just mentioned. An NGO may employ 2 pharmacists at a base, 10 nurses and 5 doctors so you see what I mean. Pharmacists don't have as many overseas options as doctors yet nurses even have easier routes to and more jobs overseas than we do.

Pattypatt:
You are so pained, doctors will always be the boss, followed by pharmacists, then we can think of nurses.

CaesarDon:


You're uncouth and immature, that's why you couldn't be a doctor, I couldn't care any less how you react or not succumb to any doctor whatsoever, I just gave an advise without attacking anyone explicitly, but because of your self esteem issues with regards your profession you resort to insults, I stand by my words, be it home or abroad nurses are subordinates to doctors, i never even said I approve of the hierarchical structure in hospitals, I'm just saying it the way it is, DEAL WITH IT!!!!

camobri:

you now have sense, praise Allah. Your posts about nurses in the past on Nairaland so nausauting. Your gf is a nurse? or ine correct nurse put u where u belong?

Lagusta:


can we PLEASE forget the past and focus on whats ahead of us please?? come on, lets be more matured na, we are men....

camobri:

is it by force? They are ur boss, not mine. I am my own boss.

Pattypatt:
Pharmacists are more respected that nurses, you know it, so keep shut.

chuksbogus2001:

Are you still a student or U are aan RN already ? . It is very rewording to be a nurse both in Nigeria and abroad. Nursing is one of the professions that will put food on your table in Nigeria. If you then manage come abroad you go hail!!! Making ,..............make I no talk am

Jman06:
The only thing you could say is that we have more nurses in Nigeria who seek overseas opportunities than pharmacists. Nigerian pharmacists are fewer and are not even enough to serve Nigeria let alone going abroad (although some still go). Pharmacists have more job coverage than nurses everywhere in the world and the reason is because their jobs are not restricted to healthcare alone unlike nurses. You have to have drugs first before you talk about using them in healthcare. From research to formulation, distribution, sales and then to dispensing and use in healthcare, pharmacists are in charge of drugs!

Chartey:

Cancel research in Nigeria. No R& is done here. Sales and distribution is also done by biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology graduates and the companies even prefer them sometimes because they can pay them less. When it comes to dispensing, most community pharmacies just have 1 pharmacist supported by a number of pharmacy technicians.
I have pharmacist friends looking for jobs but I don't have a nurse friend looking for a job.
Like I said, pharmacy looks attractive to people outside but those of us inside know nursing has more opportunities. I'm neither a nurse nor pharmacist.

Jman06:
So many researches are on going in Nigerian pharmacy schools and in NIPRD by pharmacists.

Well, all the pharmacists I know are gainfully employed. Some pharmaceutical companies use the science graduates as reps mainly due to shortage of pharmacists. But it is wrong because those guys know nothing about drugs! I know that many learned doctors send them out of their offices once he notices that the rep isn't a pharmacist. Do you know why?? Because they can't provide the doctors useful information about drugs. When I finished my first degree, I worked for a pharmacist in his distribution company and I know what I experienced trying to detail drugs to doctors.

Stop lying that you have a pharmacist who is unemployed. Unless the pharmacist didn't attend an accredited pharmacy school or perhaps he/she just graduated and awaiting induction. If you are sure of what you are typing, give me the pharmacist's contact, I have a job for him!

It is obvious you are biased on this topic, maybe pharmacy don do you strong thing... lol

I respect nurses as professionals but it is not true that they have better job opportunities than Pharmacists!

Chartey:


I am a doctor.
I rarely ask drug reps for drug information anyway because they can't provide much that concerns my patients whether they're pharmacy or anatomy graduates.

Give me links to papers about work done in NIPRD that's currently in use in healthcare in Nigeria.

Jman06:
Even if you're a doctor, you don't know 1/8 of what an average pharmacist knows about drugs! Some of you think that your 8 months pharmacology is all there is about drugs! FYI, wise doctors know the truth that only a pharmacist can give accurate info about drugs and such are the doctors that usually excel in practice because they keep pharmacists close and gain as much info as possible about drugs.
You could be one of the fake who go with the delusion that they know drugs while they keep making different medication errors and sending patients to early graves.

You have evaded my request to have the contact of your supposed unemployed pharmacist friend just like I expected. What does it profit you to lie about pharmacists on this thread? Did a pharmacist collect your babe
