Baba,e be like say you be learner.Nowadays, there are some specially made creams for lightening dark knuckles.Apparently,you would never know she bleached.But if person don dey too white,na cream tins abeg..
So don't have that mentality only bleachers have dark knuckles oo...

It's like this page has gone into oblivion,,really really bad
Anyway,can any pharmacist tell us what's like out there as per job satisfaction and remuneration?

lol... Abi o... I don't know why some still choose that school. There's even a friend of mine who chose the school since 2012 and luckily for him he was admitted last year, resumed for his 100 level this year June and he hasn't even started anything now the school is on another indefinite strike...yet some people will be shouting great ife upandan abeg what's great in that? As if that's the way renowned great universities all over the world always do will they attain their great status?

Since 2012?Hell,I'm sure baba go dey regret am now. The slow calendar has so many ominous implications,,,kunlexic might not know for now,I'm sure of the fact you're a pharmacy student,obviously,you're already aware of d fact you'll have to go for a year housemanship after your induction.This slow calendar of a thing kept my Elder bro and lots of his friends home for more than 9months just for the sake of seeking placement for internship.Why?He graduated so late to the extent most federal and teaching hospitals have already taken the house officers and interns they wanted,so when others were busy applying,he hadn't even begun his 2nd semester exam.If not for God's mercy,he would have spent more than a year @ home.
This strike of a thing is really detrimental to our future.Let's quit reiterating this lame slogan(great ife) of a thing and face the reality.....

eitsei:
ask am o... Futa na private University abi? Honestly, I can't advice anyone that's about to write jamb to choose that school

Baba,you're right jare.I'm a student of the school and this strike upon strike bullshit don tire me.On a second thought,I'm even regretting picking the school sef.Their own don too much jareeee....
And dem go dey shout great IFe like it's a guarantee to a lucrative job after nysc.

you are a d.unce.....QED!
go meet google to explain to you who a resident doctor is......employer of labour my foot! you re too du.mb to hold any job talk more of employing others....

You too get bad mouth.What if he's right?It's actually possible he's what he claimed to be.
It's true doctors,not only 'em health professionals in general are being vehemently underpaid in naija.
in fact,the situations is just too pathetic.Someone who studies a 4year banking and finance course and an accountant who spent less than 4years in school will be earning 4times your salary for an entry level...imagine!!!
actually,the dweeb doesn't know what he's saying all the same.

Being a pharmacist,I think you should know that.

Most bank employees don’t get to earn the figures listed because the figures are for professional staff, whereas 75% of bank staffs are contract staff who don’t earn up to one-third of the figures listed. So, don’t be surprised to know that most “bankers” don’t earn as much as the listed figures. Aviation companies pay between N600,000 and N800,000. Actual salaries may vary slightly depending on qualification and unit. Most companies offering seemingly low salaries bolster their pay with juicy allowances.

Telecommunications MTN Nigeria N180,000 – N250,000 Globacom N120,000 Airtel Nigeria N100,000??
OTHERW P&G N200,00+ INEC N77,000 (including allowances) PAL N77,000 Multichoice N40,000 – N70,000


Additional points to note Listed figures are for professional, permanent staff, not contract staff or ETOPs (except otherwise stated). Some figures represent net total with tax deductions, while some represent salary without tax deductions. All values are for monthly pay (not annual). Oil exploration companies pay at least N500,000 for entry level employees, while servicing companies pay at least N200,000. Multinational oil companies pay according to global standards because their employees can be deployed to anywhere in the world. This explains why they pay the highest salaries.

If you’re looking to get an idea of how much some popular Nigerian companies pay their entry-level staff (i.e. newly employed fresh graduates), then you’re just on the right page. Read on to see the exact figures that these companies pay. Bear in mind, however, that the information on this page is subject to sudden change, so some figures may no longer be correct. In addition, even though we’ve tried our best to ensure that the figures and estimates are correct, we admit that the information here can’t be 100% accurate.

Blackkie:
If you need ''just'' the money MNC is the way to go.

But if you need a career and make an impact that will be felt, lecturing will be fine for you.
The funny thing is that due to the ''denial'' nature of many civil servants in Nigeria, many of our citizens are not aware of how juicy lecturing job is.
I know many lecturers go home with above N500,000 monthly, you work lesser hours and enjoy all holidays to the fullest. Getting grants for research and travelling around the world on the bill of government and donor agencies is at your disposal if you want.
Not only that, the exposure you get being a lecturer is far beyond what you get from MNC.

Many university dons have gone ahead to become commissioners, ministers, governors and heads of states, those from MNC who have hit this mark are fewer.

Above 500k?You'll have to reach the rank of a professor to have that as your monthly remuneration.I'm certain you aren't oblivious of the number of years it'll take you to rise to that zenithal point. Truth is,if you need money,don't go into lecturing at all...You're totally right about university dons getting ministerial jobs,but a person who also works in a multinational coys and gets actively involved in politics can get that too...

afroxyz:
Are you going to be a staff/contract worker in the Multinational?

What are the career prospects in the MNC?

What us renumeration and packages and would you be paid off when they decide to lay off workers?

Start off as a lecturer, in the long run the MNC can hire you as a consultant which is way more that what you would be paid at the MNC. Besides lecturing affords you the opportunity to travel round the world.

The chance of getting hired as a consultant is very slim(1/100).Besides,you apparently don't seem to know much about what's going on in academia, that's one of the rationale for ASUU going on strike every now and then.The expenses for travelling aren't covered by any organization or the university body,you pay out of your own personal remunerations.So before you can afford flying abroad,you'll have to rise to the rank of at least a lecturer 1,this will ostensibly take you at least 13years,that's if you're lucky....

Let the doctors go and learn ow to become one or practice on the road side, without a building that d neglected engineers spring up daily too,hey... Let us fold our hands for a month,sip wine at home nd play ps4 and perhaps, it will become clear to them all that we are as equally important.. I cnt believe blockheads still come out to say shii to justify the inequality...

Midwifery is about 1/20 of Medicine and Surgery, in content and scope. So, no vex.
And u can still enrol for MBBS if u have d passion, at least, that will make u enjoy d benefits too.

I don't get,how is it 1/20?yours is 6yrs while hers is 5yrs,A year difference doesn't make it one-twentieth of it nah.I totally agree with the fact it's kind of inferior to medicine,but that difference in relativity is just too much.

laryom1:
correction: the above mentioned courses are all five years.

Excluding pharmacy which is 6yrs in some schools e.g Uniben.You get awarded with a pharmD

Hehehe, theres good money in most aspects of Pharmacy just depends on your temperament. I just finished service i have a job already, i earn above 180 every month and i have a second source of income by virtue of being a pharmacist. So i think its cool. The other occupation earning more in health are doctors but they are very limited to a hospital while a pharmacist is not.

You're working in a hospital or as a superintendent pharmacist?

eridos:


U won't regret reading Pharmacy I can bet you on that.u can contact me.send me a mail my email address is ehimenoaikhena@gmail.com.wud be nyce to help you out with the grey areas.cos most people won't tell you the truth.

Oga,you're ignoring me nah.

I hope this isn't an ominous sign of an impending strike.

SirREX94:
Doc, did you notice the combi of those antibiotics? Absurd! I must say. Just hope some NLders don't go trying this @home!

Pls,what's wrong wt d combination of the antibiotic...Enlighten me pls?Just wanna know.

Cowmilk:
peptic ulcer is caused by helicobacter pylori in 98% of cases....treatment is by d use of appropriate antibiotics and drugs dat reduce d acidity of the stomach
cap amoxicillin 500mg 3 tyms daily
tab Flagyl 400mg 3 tyms daily
tab clarithromycin 500mg twice daily
tab omeprazole 20mg twice daily
All for 2 weeks




NB. this is not to substitute consulting a medical doctor if u think u have peptic ulcer disease,dis is just a prototype 4 standard medical ulcer treatment
thanks

What if the patient is allergic to clarithromycin?I have a friend with such allergy.

Did she really purchase from a pharmacy store or from those patent drug dealers,I mean those charlatans who tag themselves chemist.I doubt it was from a pharmacy store.
The syndrome spoilt her beauty totally and completely.
RIP!!But the girl was fine oo...

Drdonzeez:
how does the question affect you?will you be the first or last person to study either of the two programs. study anyone you prefer most

OK!

Efriday1:

Sorry no offence intended. Just that I expected you to reason somethings out , fortunately you are more informed than I thought and obviously polarised. Apparently medical bch has a lot more career opportunities in common with pharmacy than medicine and you just indicated that your mind is already made up. But I'll advice you to go for what you want not look for justification to hold on to what you can get. With due respect Bro, I would like to say that you are not perfectly correct when you say first degree is first degree because the time input in obtaining university certificate for different first degree programmes is not exactly the same and as such a degree from a full 6 year course is not necessarily equivalent to a 6month/session 4/5 year programme. Also in as much as I do not dispute the fact that a pharmacist know more about a drug than a doctor(for the concept of a drug entails more than just pharmacology), and as such can query a prescription from a doctor, I beg to disagree with your statement about a pharmacist having the right to cancel a prescription. Such can only happen in a place where clients are ill informed. I'm neither a doctor nor a pharmacist. I'm a teacher with the passion to educate. Thank u.

Thank you sir!!!!I'll ponder on it.God bless you.

Efriday1:
Very dull post. Why will someone compare the United States and China just because China is an emerging market? Pharmacy is 5years, medicine is 6yrs. Bpharm is a single hon, mbbs is a double hon. Most trained pharmacists would rather work in the hospital and there the doctor is the head of the team. Pharmacy run on semester basis like your medical biochemistry, medicine run on clinical posting. This means that one runs a 6month per session programme, the other runs a whole year postings with very rare intermittent breaks, eg public holidays and few days to Christmas. If you eventually chose pharmacy, you will find pharmacology most enticing, but the doctor would be taught everything you learn in pharmacology. Tho you will never be bored as a student pharmacist, and you will have more time to yourself, ie if you are exceptional in chemistry of course. Some people argue that pharmacy is more difficult, but medicine is bulkier. You could get bored as a student doctor not because medicine is hard but because there's too much to learn and KNOW in a very short time. However both are noble professions and you will be disappointingly frustrated if you choose them to get rich. Thanks.

OK sir.But what's with the double honor?That part makes no iota of sense to me anyway.it's just like saying Sociology and anthropology is a double degree.A first degree is a first degree.That's quite ironical if you take a look at it.
Also,I'll take you calling my post a dull one a direct attack on my personality.You can disseminate your ideas without venting any modicum of aggression.
If the doctor does know everything the pharmacist know about pharmacology,why does the pharmacy have the right to cancel out any ambiguous prescription?Well,I don't wish to work in a hospital as a pharmacist.I would better work in big retail chains or industries,reason being our health sector is in shambolic slough of despondency.It's always Johesu vs nma,no harmony @ all.

Anyway,thank you very much for taking your time explicating these sir.May God reward you with infinite gratification.

ah im really sorry. I can now see that there isnt a trace of inferiority complex in what you just wrote. if you will excuse me my attention is supposedly needed in the "pit" of tartarus. bye felicia.

Pharm Eridos,I wanna have a discourse with you,that's concerning pharmacy.I'm a Pharm student,part 4,the premier school of pharmacy,OAU.
Reason being I'm totally confused in relation to the field I wanna go.You know we have a lot of fields in pharmacy,Not like the medicals whose career only lies in the hospital.
Probably on whatsapp or through e-mail?What do u think?

chenor:
Who or unicef.. Any international field pertaining to health

What did you study or are u studying?

Sirtch:
NAFDAC. I love NAFDAC

Are you a pharmacist or a pharmacy student??
