When I started Pharmacology, I thought it was just about drugs.
My ignorance deserved an award. 😂💔
I was there thinking,
"You memorize the drug name, what it's used for, maybe the dose... and you're done."
Pharmacology looked me in the eye and laughed. 😭😂
The first lecture started.
Mechanism of action.
Pharmacokinetics.
Pharmacodynamics.
Absorption.
Distribution.
Metabolism.
Excretion.
Before the drug even reaches the patient, it has already traveled more than I have this year. 😂💔
Then they introduced receptors.
Alpha receptors.
Beta receptors.
Muscarinic receptors.
Nicotinic receptors.
Dopamine receptors.
Serotonin receptors.
Histamine receptors.
Every drug seems to have a favorite receptor and an ex it refuses to bind to. 😭😂
Just when you finally memorize one drug...
Pharmacology says,
"Now let's discuss drugs in the same class."
One drug.
Ten cousins.
Each with a different indication.
Different contraindications.
Different adverse effects.
Different interactions.
And somehow...
Almost the same name. 😂💔
Gentamicin.
Amikacin.
Tobramycin.
Netilmicin.
At some point I stopped reading medicine and started reading baby names. 😭😂
Then comes adverse effects.
You finally learn what a drug treats...
Only to discover it can also damage the liver, kidneys, ears, heart, bone marrow, and your peace of mind. 😂💔
Every lecture ends with,
"Remember this side effect. It's very important."
By the end of the semester, every drug has about 37 side effects and somehow the examiner expects you to remember all of them. 😭😂
Then drug interactions arrive.
Drug A increases Drug B.
Drug C decreases Drug D.
Drug E must never be given with Drug F.
Drug G should be taken before food.
Drug H after food.
Drug I without food.
At this point, even the drugs need relationship counseling. 😂💔
Exam period is where Pharmacology becomes spiritual.
Question:
"State four mechanisms of action of fluoroquinolones."
My brain:
"This drug is used to treat... something." 😭😂
The answers were inside my head.
Unfortunately, they were undergoing first-pass metabolism.
Only a tiny fraction reached the exam booklet. 😂💔
Then you leave the exam hall.
Suddenly every mechanism returns.
Every side effect.
Every interaction.
Even the ones that weren't asked.
Apparently, the knowledge had excellent bioavailability.
It simply refused to cross the blood-brain barrier during the exam. 😭😂
That's when I realized Pharmacology isn't just about drugs.
It's about remembering enough information to make Google feel unemployed.
Pharmacology taught me that the real adverse effect wasn't the drugs...
It was studying them. 😂💔
Fibroid:
Omg how will she have babies?
Endometriosis:
Omg how will she have babies?
PMOS:
Omg how will she have babies?
Ovarian cyst:
Omg how will she have babies?
Nobody is worried about the woman in pain, struggling and in need of help.
Dear RN,
Something for today Documentation

Germany Nursing Migration Route (2026) for Nigerian RNs (You do not need OSCE!!!!!)
One advantage of Germany is that you don't need IELTS or an OSCE. Instead, the biggest investment is learning German.
Step 1: Become a Registered Nurse in Nigeria
Requirements
Valid RN licence
Nursing degree/diploma
Passport
Estimated Cost
Passport (if needed): ₦150,000–₦250,000
Step 2: Learn German (B2 Level)
Germany requires most foreign nurses to reach B2 German before full registration.
Estimated Cost
Language school (A1–B2): ₦800,000–₦2,500,000
B2 examination: ₦350,000–₦500,000
Hidden tip: Many employers in Germany now recruit nurses at A2 or B1 level and continue sponsoring language training until you reach B2. This can reduce your upfront costs significantly.

Good morning.
I just want you to remember these :
1. We still have those kidnapped school children.
2. There’s been no major update or conclusion on that raped festival that happened in that state.
