Are graduate nurses really started on CONHESS 7? That doesn't make sense if it's true. Will be difficult for NANMS to really push for change as graduate nurses are in the minority in that association.

NLanders I'm in a fix @dis juncture in my life career n therefore in desperately need of ur informed assistance in order 2 come off it.
I had a promising job opportunity a few weeks back but it went down d drain, why?? My original WAEC certificate bore a different (wrong) date of birth from that on my Birth certificate and this problem can only be remedied after 6 months from weneva I apply for correction of result via my alma mater.... I've gingerly accepted that the opportunity has been lost.
Fast forward 2 present day. Another opportunity arose with the same factors as determinants for success.
Now I'm thinking of an alternative which is 2 use my original NECO certificate (which I'm yet 2 collect from my alma mater) instead as SSCE certificate.
Now my question to u NLanders is, WHETHER ORIGINAL NECO CERTIFICATE BEARS A CANDIDATE'S DATE OF BIRTH??
If No... I'm good 2 go, but if Yes... In short, make I no think am sha.
Pls. I need ur comments n opinions ASAP.

A few points to note here

1. Optometry is recognized as a noble profession especially in the western hemisphere which can take up to 8 yrs to complete. (3-4 yrs Bachelors + 4yrs Optometry School). Pre-graduation for Optometrists theses are often considered Doctorate level. Most often than not, they bypass Masters degree and earn a PhD degree.
2. Dentists typically earn more salary than Optometrists in a hospital/clinical setting...but not by much really. Outside the west, Optometrists are not considered doctors...a myth... but they really are. See: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optometry
[/url]
3. In Nigeria, and the Middle-East, Dentists earn more salary than Optometrists because they are considered doctors and Optometrists (not considered as docs.) Dentistry belong to the same association with Medical Doctors and will thus benefit from the political and lobbying power of the latter. For the record, the NMA approach the Optometry board to join, but were turned down for fear of suppression. Dental association agreed to join thus enjoying the largess that normally accrue to Medical doctors.
4. In a private clinic setting, Optometrists earn far more than Dentists due to the sheer volume and lucrativeness of eyecare. It is for this reason you often see optical retail chain behemoths in United States, Canada, Australia, U.K and the middle-east. The one my brother works in (Middle-East has about 100 branches and rakes in minimum N10b annually). Dentists will rely on occasional big-hitters which is often beyond the scope of most private dental practices (most surgical cases are treated in tertiary hospitals.
5. As far as course content is concerned, the Optometry curriculum closely mirrors that of their Medical Doctor counterparts. I won't dwell much on this here. A simple google search would suffice.
6. The failure rate within and outside Nigeria is huge. In Nigeria, you fail ONE clinical course, you repeat a YEAR! Fail two courses, you repeat TWO years...you get my drift.

My brother currently earns about $4,931/month in the middle-east in a private setting. Tax free.

A dentist (non-consultant) will earns between $5,480 - $7,670/month in the middle-east in private setups. Tax free.

Closing thoughts:

Optometrists earn a bit lower than Dentists overall albeit enjoying a "cleaner" work environment devoid of mouth odor, blood spills, and sundry discharges.

Both Optometry and Dentistry are noble professions in their own right and the success of individuals in each profession depends on how you go about your career (Salary earner vs Private clinic entrepreneur).

Hope this settles the unnecessary fight.

Thank you.

Speak for dentistry not optometry...Many optometrists are rich...Eye clinic is a money spinner...Dentistry is impoverished in Nigeria....Abroad they make very good money in private practice,but in Nigeria,nothing...an optician lab will even make mord money than them not to dpeak of an eye cljnic....







And the last time I check you cant be given Dentistry as a subtitute for medicine.. but 90% of those that are in optometry actually went for medicine...[\quote]

Dentistry is a substitute for medicine...If optometry takes 150 in a class,about 100 put in for medicine and 50 put in for optometry.
Dentistry takes only 25 and u r here spewing thrash....If optometry were to take only 25 like dentistry,no one who didnt put optometry would be given the course...The day dentistry takes 100 students,90% will be from medicine...Dentistry is under the same board as medicine,yet while medicine has 7000+ applicants in jamb,dentistry has only 303...despite the fact that u are basking under the glory of the most predigious course in sciences,yet u are invisible...what if u were not under them?You guys would have been extinct by now...dentistry would have been studied only in polytechnics in nigeria....



Thank God dentists easily secure place for internship. [\quote]

Thank God that medicine made that possible for you parasites....

thank God they have a solid residency program which makes them consultants ..[\quote]

Again thank God that medicine gave u that...Forget about "solid"
The only difference between ur residency programme is that for now,optometry consultants are not allowed to consult in govt tertiary institutions because of professional politics...
Optometry has its own residency programmes that lead to FAAO, and FNCO.




Thank God they are #1 in their trade'No one can displace them'.thank God they earn from conmess which makes their salary and allowances higher. thank God they are surgeons hence members of NMA 'the bosses in the health sector'.the prestige and fame are enough.Life is not all about money!money!Thank God they can be CMDs.Not everyone can be cmds but anybody can be a vice Chancellor.. thank God!!


Go through,everything u listed...dentistry is like child jumping on medicine's back....dentistry is just a proof of meficine's power to give any profession leverage if she so wishes...
Let the market speak for itself....u guys are wasting nigeria's tax on a profession that is unappreciated...u are alpha and onega yet your practices are like deserts
The structure of Nigerian politics is benefitting ur profession in the public sector...but thats where urs end.
U r useless outside that area,while medicine pulls their weight in both sectors...

Life is not all about money yet in 2008 when optometry was earning exactly same as medicine they went back to negotiate a conmess/conhess salary structure....
Keep decieving yourself....

My friend dentistry is a cosmetically dressed profession financially dry like a pressing iron...

If u r blind enough to compare optometry with dentistry,then u r blind enough not see an optometry clinic when u see one...
I dont know ur guy...thats his issue...u love inductive reasoning...
Nothing touches the fact that an optician lab in new benin is busier than most dental clinics in Benin city.

Go to a place like Faith hospital and check their dental vs eye dept....
There dental dept is always as dry as anything.....
Our last cadaver was in our 200 level gross anatomy...
In the residency training of an opthalmologist do they use cadavers?


U WANT TO OPEN A DENTAL CLINIC BECAUSE OF A BRACE U WILL SEE ONCE IN TEN YRS.....HUNGER GO KILL YOU O.

Dentistry is not lucrative, chikena!

Dentistry in uniben go on holidays unlike optometry....
If ur brother were in optometry u would know that holidays for an optometry student ends after 300 level....
If u want to know whether they read it in detail challenge an optometry student on any of the courses.....

Why will i stay in govt employ if i can make 10 times more than what they are paying.....
How many ophthalmologists work in govt hospitals....very few in case u dont.....
Eye care is not like pulling teeth....

An optometrist diagnoses every ocular condition
Treats with drugs ,optical and functional therapy
Refers for surgical proceedures here in nigeria
Treats systemic manifestation of ocular conditions....

The former deputy provost of College of meficine and the substantive Vice Chancellor of Abia state university is an Optometrist
The Vice Chancellor of Plateau state university is an optometrist......

WHEN WE TALKING OF LUCRATIVENESS,DENTRISTRY WILL NEVER MEASURE UP TO OPTONETRY OR PHARMACY...

In Benin City which dental clinic is as big as Mayos eye clinic or Prime eye care.....
Na jazzz dentistry wan use....
Most peopke in dentistry couldnt get medicine,so y are u raising the point....

U want me to star showing u pictures of paediatric exotropes and esotropes from Kanski to show u cases...thats childish

DENTISTRY IS SURVIVING ON MEFICINE'S LEFTOVERS....THEY ARE HUNGRY.

vonn:
So I was in a bus travelling back to school this morning when we got to Igbodo in Delta state. Suddenly, a car swerved infront of us. The bus driver applied brakes but the bus didn't stop till it had hit the small car from behind. We all quickly got out of the vehicle which had then stopped near the bush as the other car infront was releasing smoke. Soon the car caught fire but nothing could be done to quench it. The occupants got out but the booth was jammed and their properties couldn't be rescued. Although few people obtained little bruises, it was way better than being roasted alive.

We all should be careful as we drive. Let us mind the way we speed. Even if we're not driving, try to caution the drivers. We have just a life to live.

What does a dentist do than remove teeth here in Nigeria...#2000 per teeth
Even an optician earns better than dat cutting glassses talk of an optometrist.....
DENTISTS LIVE SOLELY ON HANDOUTS FROM GOVT....AN OPTOMETRIST EARNS FAR HIGHER.....
Ur board is so afraid of churning out jobless people that they only take 25 per class.....
Cry me a river......Dentists are hungry people....
What is salary for an optometrist.....An average optometrist will earn twice ur salary as a dentist in a month....
An optometrist's salary is just for fuel....a dentist will recieve and remain hungry till next month....

U want to know what an optometrist does ,google is your friend.

Lmaoooooooooooo You learn them in details? Nigga please! how many times did you guys see a cadaver? Fortunately I'm also in UNIBEN, and it's not a hidden secret that you guys are not taught in details. Even our Lecturers tell us in class.
Ermmmm I have a brother in your department 600 level, and I think he did not go on holiday like only once! After last session ended he went home and I didn't, so which holiday are you talking of?

Ermmm I hope you know the former CMD of UBTH was a Dentist? I can see you are a disgruntled person who applied for medicine and got optometry Be happy with your course and stop trying to bring everybody down to your level.

MBBS - Bachelor in medicine and surgery
BDS - Bachelor in Dentistry and Dental surgery.

Do you what this is? it's called cleft lips. Do you know who treats such patients? You guessed wrong, Dentists do. This is just one of the many cases in which dentist operate on! So for them to treat such cases, they require deep knowledge of Anatomy! Optometrist don't do surgery, so what do you need detailed anatomy for?

Does any optometry service cost up to 500k? Braces, Braces, Braces, they range From 500K to 1 million! You know how much Operation of that Cleft lips cost?
I wonder why a student like you is already debating about private practice, have you gotten a well paid job before even talking about opening up your private clinic?

originbm:
Right until 2008 /2009 optometrists earned exactly the same amt with medical doctors on the contiss.Till they used politics to divide it into conmess/conhess.
What is the great difference between conhess 9 and conmess 1.Conmess 1 which is ur entry point is conhess 10.
Thats the politics that medicine successfully played.
Optometrists have a laissez faire attitude to professional politics because they have this ingrained belief that the profession is a private sector playmaker.(I personally dont agree with that position anyway...)
With the connmess u r touting u cant still measure up to an average eye clinic.
The truth is i never liked taking on dentistry because i pity their plight...dentistry isca usually quiet profession...i am so suprised that dentistry wants to compare with optometry in lucrativeness....na so una don reach?


In the end its the money....optometry has it much more than dentistry...

Anybody can open a clinic,but not anyone can run a clinic...Maybe an orange seller can run a dental clinic....but only an optometrist or ophthalmologist can run an eye clinic...Only a pharmacist can run a pharmacy.....

No matter how sick e no fit slim like goat...No matter how chemists compete with pharmacists,pharmacy will always be more lucrative than dentistry....
Chikena.......
Or do u want to start comparibg pharmacy with dentistry?
Abeg o....

Nobody is beefing u
I am telling u an incontrovertible truth....Dentistry is not a money spinner in Nigeria,take it or leqve it...
If u r hoping to go into private practice and make money like an optometrist,pharmacist or medical doctor....forget it....
U r celebrating ur being able to be CMDs which is an accident of professional politics.....
Enjoy ur salary as CMD but if u r wise u wont invest in a dental clinic .Invest in molue business or pure water business instead.

originbm:
I will pick up ur points one after the other even though u r yet to learn the art of marshalling ur points....
1.Every semblage of prestige has is because they the are subservient to medicine....Without the patronage of medicine,dentistry is dead....
2.In case u dont know,there is residency training for optometrists which leads to award of FNCO, and FAAO. Politics in Nigeria has prevented the optometry consultants from practiccing to the full capacity of their training in tertiary health institutions.
An optometrist automatically starts lecturing as a lecturer 2 in universities just like a medical doctor.
3.Who is non clinical person....the amt of non-invasive proceedures an optometrist learns in school a dentist cannot come near it....I will list a few....
1.Opthalmoscopy-Direct and Indirect
2.Retinoscopy--Dynamic and Static
3.Biomicroscopy
4.Tonometry-Applanation and Indentation
5.Red Lens
6.Baggolini
7.Von Graffe
8.Worth 4 dot
5.Keratometry
6.Maddox rod and wings
7.Perimetry
8.Confrontation
9.Ductions
10.Near tests
Etc
Plus those in Visual rehabilitation and orthoptics....Tecniques in paediatric and geriatric ocular and visual diagnosis

Plus we treat all surgical proceedures didactically,plus every work up gor pre and post operative management of ocular px....
Like i said ,the grade 15 u r clutching to is because of professional rival and opyometry has not been very political because the pp is their domain.....
Optometry is typically private practice oriented world wide....
And in that field dentistry is a toddler.....
Thats y ur dept ia always wary of admitting people in order not to flood the market with jobless dentists.....

I hv never dreamt of comparing optometry with dentustry....dentistry is just hiding behind medicine to get their handouts from govt....

If pharmacy dey talk,i go even hear....which dentistry?
Laugh wan kill me.

Na wao...which kind school una dey go self?

Metrofox:
I always crack up when I see a dentist trying to raise their tiny voice..dentists are dead weight..& just attached to life support courtesy of medicine..most people in dentistry couldn't make it into medicine and just want to 'belong' .by the way I was not talking about opening a clinic..of course anybody can do that..but the crux of the matter is profitability (how lucrative?) .and you just can't compare with optometry bro..learn to live with that...people don't mind losing a teeth or two anyway

P.S if someone collapses in front of a dentist,you still have to dial 911
