i'm gonna go to college soon, should i major in pharmacy or nursing? which is better n y. thnx

Answer 1

You can get a nursing degree in four years, but no matter what you rintentions you will end up a bitter old person who thinks they know as much as the doctors do.

A PharmD degree takes twice as long, but the entry wages are at least twice that of an entry-level nurse. Pharmacists have more real career options than nurses as well. They can work in retail (Walgreens), clinical (at a hospital), research, etc. The normal nursing career path is to become a nurse at a hospital or teaching facility, then once you have gained some experience you could choose a hospital specialty or go into case management, work at a doctors office, maybe wellness. The problem is that probably 80%or more of nurses all work in a clinical care setting, so there aren't a lot of opportunities in the other career paths. I would choose the Pharmacy degree for all of these reasons.

Answer 2

Good choices, I would ask yourself what can you be dedicated to more? Nursing sometimes require you to do things like washing patients, cleaning bed pans, and the like. Not always glamorous, you have to take the good with the bad. A Registered Nurse I know makes 67,000 per yr quite good she works 12 hr day though not one right after the other. She works Holidays for triple time.

Answer 3

Are you in the U.S.? As far as I know both are well paying jobs in the U.S. Check on the availability of jobs. I always hear about nursing shortages but do not hear about shortages of Pharmacists.

Personally I think nursing would offer you more opportunities for different types of jobs.

Answer 4

Nursing will offer you more flexability in future job options.

Answer 5

I'm a pharmacist. Which means it is better....for me at least.

How do you define better? If it's money......pick pharmacy

By the way, I really liked sir velvet's answer
