Do you really mean you want to combine mbbs and pharmacy? This is suicidal! I'm a pharmacy student and I must say pharmacy alone will drain you if you are not strong enough. MBBS is another tough course on its own! You've already gotten admission for pharmacy while MBBS is still a hopeful stuff. Please, go for pharmacy. You may not get another chance. |

prevailer247: Hello dear. I had to log in to give you advice on what to do. I am a medical Doctor with many years of experience. I will advise you never to rush in for any course out of desperation because one day you will be left to live with your choice. I will ask you a few question; 1) Do ye see yourself as a Pharmacist later in life? 2) Why exactly do you want to become a Med. Doctor? Is it because of fame or fortune? The answer to that will decide my next advise. 3) If no to question 2, then stick to your decision to study medicine but for safety just defer your admission to study Pharmacy after payment of acceptance fee. 4) Pray about it. Note I entered in through the basic medical sciences at my 100 level and crossed 200 Level. It was not easy. I want to let you know that it is very difficult to cross to Medicine in most schools from a professional course(e.g. Pharmacy, Physiotherapy) but easier with basic medical sciences like Biochemistry, Physiology and Anatomy. Because even if you score very high they might not release you. 1 Like |

prevailer247:With the way Nigeria is going, it will be wise to have multiple certifications if u can. I will suggest u continue with the MED/SIG program, then u defer the admission for the pharmacy. With that u can still meet up and get the two done. Wish u luck and more wisdom 1 Like |

Nigerian doctors are relocating abroad based poor pay and ill equipped government hospitals. It will be heartbreaking to realize this after wasting so many years in medical school. At some point, you'll start your residency in order to become a consultant... Did you come into this world to read books alone? As a Pharmacist, you can go into community pharmacy if you don't want to work in the hospital. Your license is worth hundreds of thousands. You'll have time to fall in love, start a family and live like every normal person. On 25/12/2017 there are going to be some doctors on duty in the hospitals. How much money do they really have? I'm happy to be an engineer. 1 Like |

Either you think you can make it through JUPEB or you can't. You are right The best thing is to go for pharmacy. To get what I'm saying here, try to ask ND holder seeking direct entry to uni most of them always end to HND. Direct entry is not that easy.... Think wise and play it safe 1 Like |

prevailer247: Accept your admission. You can still run your Jupeb program by collecting books and reading till exam time. Jupeb isn't as guaranteed as admission already. Good luck |

I advise that you defer the pharmacy admission for one year. Then focus on the JUPEB during the one year. Then at the end of the year, if you couldn't measure with the direct entry requirement via JUPEB, you then go back to your earlier pharmacy admission. this advice is so because med/surg is better than pharmacy if your head and purse can carry it. But then, if you can't get it, at least you can get the second best to it - pharmacy. But one caveat is to never try to do both at same time. you may likely lose out on both ends if you do so because your C GPA would likely suffer. |

prevailer247: My dear, I must first of all commend you for doing the right thing by seeking advice. I can assure you that you will never stumble or choose the wrong path. I did JUPEB last year in OAU. A lot of issues such as this came up during my time. The best advice I'd give you is to take up the pharmacy you were given. At the same time, try and complete your JUPEB program so as to have the certificate. I know it wouldn't be easy for you but by June next year, you'll write your final exams and everything would be over. Forget about the medicine. It is too competitive. I'm not trying to discourage you here but that's the best advice that I'll give you. Time waits for nobody. 1 Like |

If you haven't paid Jupeb fee, don't hesitate to cross and if you have, weigh your options, evaluate yourself, then make a choice My Opinion: Go for pharmacy |

GambaOsaka:Your ignorance is legendary! Pharmacists who work as medical reps earn nothing less than 150k salary per month (PCN fixed minimum salary for pharmacists). That aside. As a medical rep, his company sees him as a businessman, so he is given products at costs that will be favourable for him to make profits for himself. Meeting his targets also attracts commission which could run into millions. Did i mention that he is also given a brand new car for his movements. Working as a medical rep(for a good company) is one sure way a pharmacist who knows his onion can make fast money. Bro, i will advise that you learn to keep your mouth shut on any subject you have no knowledge of lest you make yourself a laughing stock among those who are informed on the subject matter. 4 Likes 1 Share |
