I am thinking on the expenses on school fees and other dues that I will spend in 300l till graduation and other factors.

Rather than doing that, why can't I just spend the money on Medicine.

Albeit, I am at the same time scared of not wasting those money I spent in 100l and 200l

I am really in a tight corner on what to do.

Dedekc:
Good morning bosses...pls whats the duration of
500 level in medical school...

DrFunmisticGlow:
what do you even know?

Step aside

DrFunmisticGlow:
she wasn't arrested for doing plastics. She was arrested over the death of the beauty queen. Two separate issues. It's a really complicated issue. Just know this, She stepped on the toes of many LUTH elders

dddave:
Hi guys!
Please I need links for downloading 400 level textbooks (Pathology and Pharmacology)

DrFunmisticGlow:
yes, the minimum requirement to do surgery is the MBBS certificate which the medical interns have.

It is one thing to be certified, but another thing to have the experience necessary.

NewSoul:
To those who think they scored low in UTME, the journey is not over yet. I repeat "The match is still very much in play".
Did you know only 800+ students scored 300 (0.06) lowest in the last 4. And I can bet that out of this 800, 350 are mathematics students(engineering aspirants), 150 commercial students, 100 arts and guess what just about 200+ for medicine and surgery in the whole country.




Even if you have 250+ Infact 240+, the game is still very much open for a comeback. I don't care what your score is if you can get 90+ or 360+ in post utme no matter the school whether state or federal, you will definitely be admitted.

And if you scored 280+ if you like be feeling like Messi and don't fire on all cylinders if Mr 240+ beats you with 10 marks guess what, he has just displaced you.

The failure rate for this year is high only 45% could score above 160 and above that means over half (700,000) of the 1.3 million are ineligible for university admission. If you give up na you fvck up.

I will leave you with this quote "if you think you can you are right. If you think you can't you are also right". Good evening

Gwebmaster:
Is physiotherapy a good course , speaking of the job availability in Nigeria?

Xandre:
Well, that isn't supposed to be the kind of 'competition' people should talk about.

Infact, there's not supposed be something like that in the first place.

Zeeknow3245:

MLS now is 205 and Radiography is 170 I think

Xandre:
Wahala

philaretus:
The quota for BDS in oau is 25 and they've already admitted 18...so you'd agree with me that the competition is damn sick

Mason360:
Just gained admission Unilag BDS guys. No be small thing . Got notified through jamb caps.

Morganstein:
Please for the veterans, I'm currently a PC1 student and our PC2 just started their MB exams. Complains here and there about how hard it is, also the questions look very hard.

Any resources, advices, tips or anything special you discovered over your journey and experience in med school so far that might be useful when I'm writting my own exams to guarantee passing and not just passing but passing exceedingly (asides hardwork of which I'm well aware!!)

Please help a fellow medic with high dreams

venmotors:

Where you once a UNN student?
I can tell categorically that passing first yr in UNN is very simple if you no what u really want

BOOKWORMLUX:
Good afternoon everyone.
I am a 100 level student of nursing science and I am finding it difficult understanding organic chemistry which is a 3CU course I'm offering this semester.
Please can you help me with tips that would enable me to understand it better.
I would appreciate if you could list out some textbooks that would be useful to me, thanks and God bless.

Zeeknow3245:

I jst asked someone and I heard oau does it also. How true it is I don't know.

NewJ6322:
Are YouTube videos best for preparation for jamb and postutme

niceguy121:
Hey Guys...Pls I'm looking for a place in yaba to stay but I am concerned about the power supply in yaba area. So pls if you are living in yaba areas such as akoka, shomolu, sabo, alagomeji, e.t.c. Let me know the average power supply in a day. I need like 12hrs to 16hrs power supply every day and my focus is in the areas closer to UNILAG because i'm a student. THANKS !!!

samuelpeters:

He only has knowledge in those areas. I could talk about pharmacy all day and you would think I'm a pharmacy student or an aspirant.

He fancied those courses at some point. But has finally settled for D.VM

Zeeknow3245:

I thought you were knowleidgeable bro until you displayed ignorance now.
I work with A vet per time. I can tell you She makes your salary a week. She has her personal business and also works with NAQS. To enlighten you more bro. Vets and Pharmacist are the only licenced professions to import drugs. Also a vet is the only individual Licenced to import Animals and certain vaccines.
Oh because you see Animal scientists running about looking for Money? Even dog breeders can rake 500k per month minimum. You don't know shit bro.
There are less than 10000 vets in Nigeria. No school can churn out more than 45 vet because it is too hard bro.
You can continue fighting with Docs and become their side chick.
Vets don't really care about working with govt because we mostly work privately.
I currently run a poultry and boy I can tell you what I make annually and a fishery.
You think Veterinary is Dog and cat?. Livestock is our money bro. Just chill and side chick your Doc.
We are not under Ministry of Health. So you JOHESU boy can fight with NMA.
Check Bala Muhammad or Blueblood vet.
Only importation of drugs sef will rake you nothing less than 300k if you no want import sef.
I am currently shadowing a vet here and
I know this. Ask Pharmacist dem go tell you.

samuelpeters:

Did I say the contrary?

Froshchuksswart:


The name MEDICAL STUDENT doesn't belong to MEDICINE STUDENT it's a name for everyone in MEDICAL SCIENCE DENTISTRY ALLIED HEALTH ETC

so people who are studying MBBS should be called "MEDICINE STUDENT" they don't own the name "MEDICAL STUDENT" ok...?

samuelpeters:

I know that will be your definition which is very valid. But in Nigeria, All Medical related courses in the College of Medicine or Health sciences are called "Medical Students." Except when you want specifics then you can say MBBS students, MLS students,Dental students.et.c.

So we all, like the thread suggested are Medical students.
The reason why I asked is because; I wanted to be sure the guy you are exchanging words with is a Medical student or someone that is not in any medical course.

Thank you sir I appreciate...As regards my timetable it really work for me, I finish p.n okeke physics textbook in 2days it even made understand physics better than ever..I do take little breaks like 30minutes for daydreaming...You see sir, reason why am I want to be a doctor is because of the sickness that tormented my dad for 18yrs, he had stroke back then we were poor as church rats, no good treatment for him, nobody came to his rescue even his blood brother living next door to us never even for one day came to check on him when he was deteriorating with this sickness, I was helpless wishing I were a doctor to save him from excruciating pains he encounters on daily basis even at night we can't sleep well because of his cry for help..The stroke reached its climax and affected his brain, his vision ie eyes etc to cut the story short I watched him died a helpless man..And I vowed to be a doctor no matter what..

Mitochondria96:

Hello Deeemphasis01,

I want to share my experience with you as regards what you stated. I recently graduated from the University of Ibadan with a degree in Physiology and gained admission to study Dental Surgery at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

Here's what I did.
My project work in 400L didn't start until second semester so I wasn't really disturbed by the thoughts of it.

1. During the break between 300L and 400L, I did not go home. I stayed back in Ibadan to begin preparing for the UTME.

2. When we resumed, I made sure I always had data to check my class group on WhatsApp because some of our lecturers are wont to always rescheduling classes as they deem fit (some of the classes didn't eventually hold).

3. Again, I intentionally missed classes to stay back to read for the UTME. I always made sure I called my friends to help me sign against my name or write my name on the attendance list.

4. I always made sure I knew about tests early so I had ample time to read for the Physiology test, putting away UTME temporarily before picking it up again.

5. Some of my classmates thought I was unserious, now they know better. Don't take it to heart when you get those vibes and don't publicize your affairs or have someone publicize them on your behalf.

6. For lecturers whose classes had marks attached for attendance (meaning they counted the number of students present, as compared with the list), I made it a rule to always attend their classes.

7. When I was to go write the postutme at Zaria, I had a test in Ibadan clashing with my exam at Zaria. The course was taken by a consultant who has a joint appointment at the Department of Physiology, COM_UI and the Department of Oral Pathology, UCH. I couldn't take the risk of disappearing and coming back to give her reasons for my disappearance.

So, I wrote a her letter(with attached evidence) and I had a friend deliver it to her by proxy on the day of the test. Place your letter in an envelope and address it as appropriate. It makes a good impression. When I got back, the woman asked about my journey, the exam etc. And I eventually wrote my test in her office with aircon .

Another Professor, I didn't hear about his assignment until the evening preceding the day of deadline. Can I kill myself? The following day, I went to his office, explained myself and asked if I could submit mine at a later date, baba asked me "Listen to yourself, does what you're saying make sense, please leave my office". Thank God I didn't waste my time. Grumpy old man.

Another lecturer I missed her test, an impromptu one. After explaining myself (I just told her I travelled), she told me and a classmate who was also absent to pick a day among ourselves for our make up test. We even moved it by a day again, very awesome woman.

My point, don't expect all your lecturers to be thesame, write letters (to the ones you might be missing their test or exam) informing them formally.

8. On the days I attended classes, immediately classes were dismissed, I went straight to my house. No waiting for friends for gists as we sauntered home, I faced the task with a singleness of purpose.

9. Pray and commit it all to God. He's not coming last on this list because he's the least. It's because he's the ultimate. Nothing happens outside of the creator. His grace is all that's needed. If you're a Muslim, don't miss your Salat and do it with the whole of your mind.


As regards preparing for the exams,
1. Get your JAMB recommended texts(and those recommended by other persons preparing for the UTME). I can't really remember the names of most of those texts so I wouldn't dabble into that.

2. Master calculating without a Calculator because even JAMB's yeye calculator won't do you any good. Although you should have a calculator to help you review your accuracy.

3. Know the square-root of numbers from 2 to 10. Excluding perfect squares including 1 since it's a perfect square. Special angles and Conversions.

4. Draft up a syllabus of English of your own. Don't depend on JAMB's English syllabus, it's an eyesore.

5. Pay attention to diagrams, charts and their labellings. Know and distinguish properly between things that can mess you up before you enter the exam Hall, imagine confusing Mixed Salts and Complex Salts. The different approaches to calculating relative density. All those things matter.

6. Don't take any subject with levity. They all carry 100 marks.

7. On the days of the UTME and PUTME, go with the notes you have formed from the different books you have amassed. You know the Nigerian Factor affects everything in this country. I was supposed to write my exam by 9am, I entered into the Hall by 1:30Pm.

8. Preferably take a soda just before going in to raise you Blood-Glucose levels. Your brain really needs it. When you get into the exam Hall, calm down first. You don't have to start when you're asked to, it's CBT remember. Make sure you're calm before logging in.

9. Start from the subjects that aren't time consuming: Biology, English, Chemistry and Physics, in that order. When you encounter a question you don't have an answer to or you're unsure, skip immediately and come back later, chances are that you would get it right at the second attempt.

And don't leave any question unanswered, even if you don't know the answer, always pick something eventually, there's no negative marking.

There are instances where questions and answers are out of sync, usually go with the most logical of options.

10. Past questions go a long way too. Try to solve questions from 10-15 years ago. You don't have to solve every question. Just endeavor to understand the concept behind the topic.

11. You might make some mistakes, we all do. Don't beat yourself up for it.

I wish you the very best my friend.

Kindest regards.
