Is pharmacy harder than nursing?


im a college student... im now taking up nursing...
i was just planning to shift pharmacy because my mother told me that it is much better than nursing... but someone told me that pharmacy is much harder than nursing because your going to memorize all the medicine generic name, dosages etc. etc.. hmmm... is it true??

It is harder and it pays a lot more!

I am told that pharmacy requires more training than a Doctor.

I took up pharmacy in college and yes, i have to tell you that you do have to memorize the generic names of the medicines, dosages, and also take up a lot of chemistry subjects (quantitative chem, qualitative chem, pharmacognosy, etc). But in nursing you also have to study pharmacology which is also one of the subjects in pharmacy. You're question should not be which is harder but which of the two does your interest lie because no matter how hard a course is, but if you're interested in that, then you won't consider the difficulties as being hard on you but rather you would think of it as a challenge.

yes is true. If you want to do phamarcy make sure you can get all As in your SPM result.
