A u lying or u dont know?
U cant open a pharmacy without a pharmacist's certificate, if u are not a pharmacist dt means u av to be using a pharmacist certificate, and u av to b paying d person, and believe me u are not going to b paying small amount.
And every pharmacy store must be under a pharmacist supervision
Concerning chemist, there are some drugs dt dey cant sell, and dz drugs are d real money.

so, do well to ask next time, if u dont know.

Lol.. anyone can be a nurse, I have seen people with degrees in arts change to nursing... but not everyone can be a doctor or pharmacist. That is why there remunerations are wide apart.

In Canada, entry level nurses make $40-50k per year, while entry level pharmacist make over $100k a year. You can see the difference is clear.

Even in Nigerian government hospitals, pharm starts from around 140k, I think nursing starts around 70-80k/month.
Pharm and doctors can also set up their own private practice but nurses can't, only done illegally in Nigeria.

@op, you also need to be very brilliant to scale through pharmacy school, pharmacy is not for every tom dick n harry, infact in the USA, you would need a first degree in the sciences with top grades before pharmacy school would consider your application for admission. na you know your capability.

In comparing likes for likes in the health sector. Everywhere in the world, in terms of pay, after doctors(including dentist), the next in line are pharmacist, then physios. Laboratory scientist, dieticians, respiratory therapist e.t.c even earn more than nurses if we place them all on same level.

Nice debate I must say. 'As men of honour we join hands'. @ op. Both professions are lovely, it depends on what you want. Are u asking because of the pay because its obvious I can't see ur passion for either of d them. Each profession requires hardwork, passion for d job and patient care or else u would acquire d certificate and stll yet not fulfilled/ join the wagon of those complaining abt pay. Its a calling and not a business venture. Pharmacist advise.
