For a guy which of them is most preferrable

Amotolongbo:
Nursing

A universal discipline unlike pharmacy whose Nigerian certificate won’t allow you to make professional practice in correct countries

calebify1:


Speak of what you are sure about.

So if you study nursing you can just go abroad without obtaining the country's license and writing an exam?
Smh.

Amotolongbo:
What am I saying?

Do you need further academic certificate to practise as a nurse in UK or US after passing the license exam?

calebify1:


Read before commenting.
And stop making ignorant comments.
Nursing is more universal than pharmacy.
It's better to be quiet than make funny comments.

The same way a nurse go through nursing board of a particular country and write their licensing exam is the same way a pharmacist also go through the pharmacy board of any country.

Amotolongbo:
With the Nigerian B.Pharm certificate in US?

calebify1:

Yes.
Make research before commenting.
That the pharmD is the new standard doesn't make the b.pharm useless.
After the evaluation of my b.pharm I can write the Fgpec then the Naplex exam.

Amotolongbo:
Have you heard of OSPAP before?

calebify1:

You were talking about the US naw you have dived into the UK again.

Am a pharmacy student and have studied most of the available routes of this country.
Overseas Pharmacist Assessment Programme. It is for international students who got their license out of the European region. What's your point??

calebify1:
More than half of those who'll comment here are ignorant about the two professions.

Stick to which you are comfortable with.
Am a pharmacy student and can practice in any country when am through. All it requires is obtaining the said country's license through series of exams.

So Ignore those talking about which is more useful abroad and all.

You just go back, look at the two courses and make a decision. If you don't like chemistry avoid pharmacy.

all I can say is that we shouldn't use the excuse of going abroad to deceive the innocent op. she should go for nursing if she loves taking care of people and seeing people recover. she should go for pharmacy if she loves outreach and answering to people's needs on time. i rather be a pharmacist than be a nurse because I will be very sound in drugs. medicine is for the prestige and nothing more. how much do nurses earn when they work with government 120k at most and 300k. If you work for like 20years. what is the need of me studying a course if I can't use it in Nigeria. Nigeria has a lot of brain drain in pharmacy. ineptitude of hospitals in purchasing facilities. I won't advice any pharmacist to work in hospitals. The richest health professionals in the world own pharmaceutical industries and make a lot of dollars. Red Rock can't match that. As a young pharmacist you make money early live a balanced life and not always on calls. how much does an intern doctor earn 120k. at most 150k. before you can make 300k and above, it is either you are a consultant 0or work in a multinational company. This means you must have worked for at least 5 years after internship. now calculate this 7 years course plus internship and at least 5years residency making it 13 years excluding strike some time even fifteen years and what about entering a residency another problem. sorry for drifting go for nursing or for pharmacy. you don't really need residency for pharmacy but you need guidance. There other courses like optometry and dentistry and many more. I know all of these because I have friends in the health sector
