Again, how much should intern pharmacists really be earning in 2025?

We’ve seen the rants, the silence, the struggles, and the sugarcoating.

Now it’s time to really talk.

This Saturday, May 17th by 9 PM, join @Pharmbanter LIVE on X for a no-holds-barred conversation featuring:

@rotimitweets

@Pharmparrot

@thepharmwriter

We're breaking down:

The real cost of being an intern in Nigeria.

How pay affects dignity, growth, and patient care.

What intern pharmacists deserve and not just what they're given.

Whether you’re a pharmacy student, intern, practicing pharmacist, or stakeholder, this space is for you.

Set your reminder.
Tag a colleague.
Bring your voice.

Let’s finally have the conversation we’ve all been avoiding.

[DR AFO @Dr_Afo]

One of the stupidest thing I see online is these interprofessional rivalry I see online.
As a doctor, I'm barely making $300 a month, few of my consultants are pushing 1k.
A popular medical doctor just paid by X in two weeks what I don't earn in 2 months.
But guess what?
We are kings compared to what our allied healthcare workers earn, especially in the private sectors.
Many nurses still earn below 100k, pharmacist below 200k and let's not even talk about med labs and radiographers.
The pay of healthcare workers in this country is a meme at this point.
But guess what again?
Instead of coming together and fighting our slave masters, we'd rather banter ourselves into oblivion.
I hope we get it right soon.

Glory to God

[PharmaBanter @pharmabanter]

@JORMUNGAND_rr it’s a question chief

[PharmaBanter @pharmabanter]

@olu_laoo it’s a question

[PharmaBanter @pharmabanter]

please because of God

do not wait 1 year at home looking for a nice internship slot

find somewhere, anywhere at all, do that stuff and move on with your life

internship is a rate limiting step and it’s not worth the wait at all

lastly, master the art of negotiation if you’re interning at a private firm and try to negotiate towards you controlling more of your time even if it would mean lesser pay

[PharmaBanter @pharmabanter]
