, u have to like maths

Quest33:
Hi nairalanders,

Please i did this year UTME and had 265 but I'm confused on which course to study between medical lab science and pharmacy, i picked Uniben

P. S I'm not really a lover of maths


Lalasticlala mynd44 fynestboi please help me move this to frontpage

Sincerely, do a change of course

If others can do it, you too can

Study your pharmacy if it is what you want

None is actually easier than the other

If you are a reasoning man

choose Pharmacy, you will never regret it.

Its the most streetwise medical course, you can venture into community practice, hospital practice, industrial practice, medical rep, academia, NGO, importation, research,regulatory or any business you love doing.

*Modified*

This course requires the best of minds and brains. You have to be well grounded in CHEMISTRY, Biology, Physics and Mathematics. Seriously speaking, its cuts deeply accross these.
There are theories to cram and understand, Calculations to learn, structures and pathways to learn, Laws to cram.
Loads of Practicals.
In the end, only the best will be inducted into the profession.
To be authorized and licensed to import ,export,mix,compound, procure, distribute, sell,counsel dispense drugs and poisons.
When i read the above on a license during my I. T, i said it is a taboo to have that power and still be broke.
No wonder men come looking for 400/500L pharmacy student to marry, in order to do drug business.

I may be a kid but I've had more pu**ies than you

Cool

take full dose of a strong brand of typhoid medication. Augmentin preferably. Use immune boosters concurrently

If you ever feel bad about your height.

Just remember great men like El-Rufai and Oshiomhole.

Peace bro

Sgbate:
Some one Oley clearify this

Study these courses and save yourself from unemployment

1) Dentistry

2) Radiography

3) Medicine and Surgery

4) Pharmacy

5) Nursing

6) Medical Lab. Science

Hmm

The book is really a great read as it trashes out all the nooks and crannies involved in internship seeking processes. I personally used to think it was an easy journey until I read the book.
Great thumbs up Leo for taking out time to write this book.

i have sent you one sir.... awaiting your reply

Send a pm, have something for you

Greatest Scientists

i want to ask, are science lab technicians,microbiologists and other related personnels who are not Medical Laboratory Scientist be able to open a laboratory? I mean laboratory for conducting tests such as malaria, typhoid, blood test, widal, etc or is it restricted to just mls graduates?

Thank you!

KAI... see as Nutase wan mislead the poor jambite

18months kor 18months nii..... Una no go study una Mcb in peace always looking for who to drag in.

my dear at all at all, MLS is the better option in NIGERIA.

It's that time of the year again and many secondary school leavers are applying for JAMB. Majority of the science students are bound to apply for Medicine and Surgery due to peer influence or parents advice and only about 10% or less end up been admitted,the rest are pushed into departments in faculty of agriculture, biosciences etc. Hence they are ignorant of other goldmine which exist also in the healthcare sector. So in this article, i want to quickly brush other areas of health sector you might like instead of joining the bandwagon of other students filling up for Medicine/Surgery which they might end up not getting.
PS:- If you feel strongly inclined to study Medicine/Dentistry, you can go ahead with your pursuit, I wish you luck. Others can take a ride with me, smiles.
