Best thread I have followed on NL so far. Learned ladies and gentlemen. Here is my contribution. I'm currently in my finals Medsurg UNTH....op d medical school requires passion, a little above average brain, mainly hard work (cos u go read, cram, Pam), focus and above all baba GOD *thanks Him in Igbo language* My little experience so far:
We were about 350 in my 2nd MBBS but in final MBBS we are 113 with less than 40 people with no issues so far. There will be resits, repeats, fail outs,withdrawals from overstay, change of course(when the heats gets too much). Its almost like survival of the fittest around here cos the students are more than the working facilities. But God will see you through if you have the passion. When the frustration comes you have to face it cos u chose d course and the only option is to tackle it and pursue your dream. There are a lot more issues you will get to know when you are in......but God will be there if you call on him and not forgetting humility cos medicine is like apprenticeship you learn from senior colleagues. Don't know much about pharmacy but it is good too.

Now abt Pharmacy...I'm a Pharmacist,well satisfied wif my Profession,hv never envied my bro for Once yet. We are d next best Paid after Doctors,nd a Doctor wud olwais head a Hospital.
We hv different fields,unlike doctors,u are free to chose any field after ur first degree. We have Community Pharm,Industrial Pharm,Hospital Pharm,and teachinq. If u wana be damn rich I'll advise Indust.Pharm or Community Pharm.I shud lecture u abt indust pharm,buh its abt stakes. As for comm pharm,I hv frens dt make over 1m daily for sales in their shops. Only a Comm Pharm z allow to ce a Patient.
As a Pharm,u can't combine fields,its illegal,so dt a hosp pharm won't siphon drugs meant for patients to his pharmacy shop,etc.buh there are various ways to make gud money
Businessmen olso run Pharmacies,dy rent a Licence,like mine for a Minimun of 120,000 amonth in uyo,nd require a local pharm to do consult,pay is Negotiable,buh nt less nt 80,000 for few hours,these are PCN rules. So as a Pharm Lecturer,I get salary from my Uni,rent out my license and also do local pharm in 2pharms,my pay evry mnth z little above 500,000. My frens in Comm nd indust Pharm are earninq quite more.
There are Professional exams dt makes u more important in d profession too.
Pharm z also cool.
Pharm z jes abt drugs oo
A pharm has a right to Cancel any ambiguous presp.
Has no right to a Patient xcept a Comm Pharm
Intern z 150,000 dependinq
Nysc z nt less than 100,000 dependinq too,u cud also b a local pharm to 1 or 2shops.

I blive I hv aleast clear some air on dz too professions.I can't just type evryfin here.

is it nt wrong to rent out license? Is it d same as R and G, register nd go?

emedy:
Dnt wana Condemn any post here. Buh lemme try and help dy OP.
My Bro z a Doctor...he's satisfied wif his job,lives comfortably and has a bright future. I won't say d Career z nt Lucrative because they actually determinant is much later after ur MBBch,dts when u specialise,either beinq a surgeon,O&G,pediatrician,internal Medicine,OPD,community and Family Medicne and a lots of speciality. The Career has diff stages ryt from when u graduate, a House Officer-180,000,NYSC-depending but nt less dan 100,000,Registrar,Snr Reg,Chief Registrar- Salaries ranging from 280,000 til 450,000 also depending. Finali,u cud become a Consultant,most works in Teachinq hospital,here d salary z not less than 1million naira due to d fact dt u'll teach nd also work for govt in diff teachinq Hospitals,own a pri hosp,etc. As a Consult,u Pay-cut depends on ur speciality again,if its internal Medicine dt has numerous consultants,den u'll have slight competition and normal pay. Department like Neuro-Surgery,dt has few specialist,u'll b hot. Eg Uniuyo Teaching Hospital has no Specialist in dt field,so u cudnt what I mean,Consult are made from other teachinq hospitals.
Buh I need u to understand dt in each of dz stages,u hv a tough exams to pass. Dz z whr pple are limited...70percent of d doctors u knw are nt Specialist,dts dy cudnt even pass d first primaries to start residency(registrar),so dy can't go up dt ladder. In dz case,dy end their career as simple Medical Officers,treatinq minor illnesses nd they are pay like oda civil servants wif slight difference,some venture into politics nd priv clinic whr they hire consult to major cases. Dnt u underate dt exams cos my bros has written it like twice yet,nd trust me when I say he's gud,buh cudnt pass,hv seen pple dt hv written like 7times.hv also seen a Registrar dt was dropd out of UUth of he cudnt proceed from Registrar to Senior Registrar.d exams z both National nd West African. Each stage has an exams to pass. As a Consult,u can't b charge under any court,u contribute to Medicine.Ure nt liable for any action u take. Leme rush nd type cos of my ba3.

You have a nice post,good contribution,but after checking @ your profile picture,I only noticed that you are a 300Level Pharmacy student and not a Lecturer. I commend your courage though...

Yes, those weren't completely mine. A friend and Senior Colleague posted that with my Permission,his experience. He doesn't have an account on NL. The Follow-ups weren't coming with regards to that,reasons that I'm not really Vested.

please do you know chuba Akah?

charleymed:

I don't think so. Maybe not my set.

oluafolabi:


To add to what CharleyMed wrote, you can't go for specialities like Cardio or Neuro with BDS. If you are really interested in BDs surgery, you can become a craniofacial surgeon, maxillofacial, also head and neck oncology, facial plastic surgery.. E.t.c.
You are only restricted to the Head and Neck region. So if the BDS surgical specialities above won't satisfy you, then I think you really should go for MBBS.

Concerning the 18 months thingy, it is actually 2 years(24 months), you will have to do some rotations from part 5 and part 6 again. Meaning if you follow that path, you will get your MBBS degree in 8 years I.e 6 yrs of BDS + 2 yrs of conversion. Mind you, your BDS degree will be withdrawn from you and you will only have the MBBS degree.

So you have to be sure of the path you really want to tow and the one that would suit you best and make you happy.

Best of luck bro!

Is that done in Nigeria? Can i get ur digits?

Hi. I'm 200level pharmacy student at uniuyo, from the best of my knowledge, uniuyo will take only first choice candidates.
