Happy New Month! ☀️
I am Ijeoma (Ejeomah🦋)
I wear 3 (sometimes 4 😎) hats: a pharmacist, digital creator, community builder and a virtual assistant.
However, my true mission is to build a community where pharmacists can thrive beyond the counter.
Let's Connect 💃
yipeee 💃💃💃.. It's “World Pharmacist Day”
Happy World Pharmacist Day to all my fellow pharmacists! 🙌 Thank you for your dedication and hard work! 🤌
Tag a pharmacist and appreciate them today 💃
Pharmacists, let's celebrate! post a picture of you below 👇

The pharmacy industry lacks mentorship opportunities. Many pharmacists have accomplished great things, but few are mentoring the next generation. That's why we created Pharmunity. We're filling d gap by connecting pharmacists with mentors who are doing innovative work in d field.
I have something for Pharmacy students! Did you know you can do exchange programs for your internship abroad instead of undergoing that in Nigeria? If you are interested in this info, let me know.
I believe that pharmacists deserve to work in an environment where they enjoy what they do, are engaged in their work, have time for themselves, their families, and loved ones, and are proud to be pharmacists. ❤️
Pharmacists have a tough job. One small mistake could cost them their license.
Please respect your pharmacist! Stop pressuring them to give you your meds in time. They make sure you get the right thing and counsel you on how to take it safely.

I'm shy 🙈
So we hit 1k here yesterday & this month also makes it 1 year 🎉 on this bird app. Thank you for connecting with me. Here's to more networking, valuable contents, cruise & a little gbas gbos every now & then.🥂😄
I'm Ejeomah - The Digital Lifestyle Pharmacist 🧚♀️
Not sure who needs to hear this but...
“Panadol” and “paracetamol” are the same thing. 💊
Paracetamol is the generic name for the drug, while Panadol is a brand name. 🛍️
Don't stress your Pharmacist today. 😉
I am so excited to announce my new partnership with the
@fittoachieve
as a Pharmacist Support Partner!
I'll be providing educational sessions & confidential advice to warriors with sickle cell disease.
Such an honor to be a part of this!
Met a Pharmacist some days ago who works in an NGO and a certified aesthetician ‼️
You know I love hearing things like this.! ☺️
There's nothing like seeing Pharmacists do something outside the box.. outside the traditional roles..
The newer generation of pharmacists>>>>
A pharmacist's colleague just phoned to tell me that she quit her job today 🤣
Omo everyone just dey quit.. There's something that happens when you know you deserve better..
She told me her duty most of the time in the pharmacy is to sell bread, salt & sugar.🤣
Chukwu ekwena!
If you are a pharmacist and you are interested in working in other fields (regulatory affairs, NGO..) don't wait until you see a job posting. You might never see one. Instead, reach out to companies or organizations that you are interested in working for & express your interest.
Please anyone(pharmacists) who would like to work with me to curate the list of places (regulatory, Ngos, insurance..) where pharmacists can work in.. Nigeria 🇳🇬
So we can have it ready by month end or in August. Please if you would like to contribute, slide into the DM. 🧚♀️🧚♀️

IPhone memories just made me remember this particular picture.
Look how excited I was to have finished Pharmacy school. I thought the world was at my feet and ready for the taking.. 😭🤣
Almost 5 years later.. and I don't think I can relate to that feeling. Not yet, soon tho 🤣
Heyaah,
Please and please, if you are still considering pursuing a Pharmacy degree please avoid B.Pharm.
Choose a school with Pharm.D program to prevent future stress.
Why? The B. Pharm degree is gradually being phased out in favor of pharmD & M.Pharm.
It's just amazing to me that the last person before the current record did about 67 hours and the this person now went to add 20 hours on top.. one Indian lady? Who sent her to add 20 not even 10? 😭 giving our HILDA work now as she has to beat this current record 🤲 God pls🤲
Wait o, the record Hilda wants to beat is 87Hrs and 45Mins😳. God, abeg strengthen her o🤲🏽. It’s possible!
I hope people keep rallying round her. Cook for 4 straight days? 🤲🏽😭.
She should raise the bar to 100Hrs straight. Let whoever wants to try to beat it think twice🤲🏽😭.
Pharmacists: Your medication experts, your trusted healthcare partners. We dispense more than just pills; we provide essential care and guidance to help you live your healthiest life. Thank you, pharmacists, for all you do!

My hearts goes out to all pharmacists especially pharmacists in Nigeria constantly looking for a way out of the rut. We deserve better. Everyday I'm always thinking for a way out for those who want that. And there are opportunities out there, I desire to discover & share...
I think we need to have more conversations on how to own & run an effective community pharmacy 💊
Especially for pharmacists who are looking to ply that route! 🚀
There needs to be a bridge in the gap between already established pharmacists in that field & upcoming ones! ‼️
As I continue to research the pharmacy space and explore its variations across countries, I have noticed a similarity in the stories shared. Pharmacists are often...
OVERWORKED. UNDERSTAFFED. UNDERPAID. UNDERVALUED.
it's the same
Guess what 😦
PCN - is no more PharmacIST council of Nigeria, it's now called PharmaCY Council of Nigeria (as of this year 🤧)
That means technicians are now included; aside from that, I'm sure there will be many other changes.
Are you aware of this?
Tbh, I love the newer generation of Pharmacists...
I can see the shift.. everywhere (home & abroad) It's different..
People are becoming more outspoken & pushing beyond the previous limits.
It's giving if there's no seat at the table for me I will create one
Love it for us
It's amazing to see that the role of pharmacists keeps expanding now and then and someday it will get to all parts of Africa. Happy World Pharmacists Day!!!

Here are some tips on how to make your CV stand out as a pharmacist in today's competitive job market.
A thread! 🧵
Prior to when MDCN began posting Doctors, getting a placement for Housemanship was a Pain!!
People used to travel all over the country, attending expensive interviews with questionable methods of selection.
A couple of my classmates then travelled to Sokoto!!!!!

One thing about me... I will celebrate every win😩. Over 60 people showed up! Wow💃💃🙌. Thank you to everyone who helped me with the setup😄 and for those who tuned in as well. the session was enlightening & I'm glad pharmacists have access to such information.
My able Pharmacists in here..
There's a new law now,
So if you are a med rep, there's a re-certification course/exam you have to do every 2 years else you wouldn't be able to rep.. More info coming soon
What do I stand to gain by joining Pharmunity? (a community for pharmacists in Africa)
Many of you have big dreams & things you want to accomplish but you're struggling to make ends meet. It's easy to feel discouraged in situations like these.
That's where Pharmunity comes in..
just hit a million views on one of my TikTok videos.😳
for an app I almost deleted. I'm still in shock o, but I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my health, wellness, and lifestyle content with a wider audience. I'm also excited about the challenges that lie ahead.
New pharmacist grads: please create a 3-5 year plan for your career. Time flies, so don't waste it. Don't follow the crowd; please find your own path. 🤧
you will thank yourself later ✨🙏
Happy birthday, sir🎉 Thank you Pastor Chris for obeying the call ‼️ Thank you for being a strong voice in my life. My life has not remained the same since I started listening to you. it just keeps getting better & better. I'm with you till rapture sir 🤧❤️🙌
#PastorChris
I saw a post today where someone mentioned they're a project manager for a big pharma company.That's pretty cool! It made me wonder how it would be if more healthcare professionals, like pharmacists, took on leadership roles in the industry. It would be a positive step forward.👇
NHS England to train 800 pharmacy technicians in dispensing and clinical skills so that Pharmacists can focus on "independent prescriber" training.
I love how the pharmacy profession is rapidly changing but will Africa be able to catch up?🥲

Update: Remember this!💃💃

Here's an excerpt, I really enjoyed filming this one with
@ObiakorNkem
because it's filled with useful information for aspiring Pharmacy students and pharmacy graduates. You do not want to miss this 🙌 click link for full video
so I had a chat with a Pharmacist from Bostwana and here's what she said "You would need to be registered with the local pharmacy board to practice, and with the license you are able to get a job in the private sector. Pharmacists make from P15k-P30k (from $1100) in community...
I just read something online now 🫢
"Botswana is aiming to recruit at least 1,000 pharmacists, some from abroad, after nurses said they would no longer dispense medications."
my question is why were the nurses dispensing in the first place 😏
Today, I saw in a group chat how one pharmacist caught a potentially dangerous error - a missing decimal point on a prescription. Through their vigilance & collaboration with the doctor, the patient received the correct dose (2.5mg, instead of 25mg!). 😳
Hear me out. Jesus Christ came. Died. Resurrected and He’s coming back again according to scriptures. The only way to heaven is by believing this and accepting Him as your personal lord and savior ❤️ He loves you so much, deeply ❤️ He doesnt want to see you perish. Come to Him❤️
I'll never forget what a speaker said at a conference I attended: "Having a pharmacy degree is no longer enough these days. You need to add another one to it.Because there are rooms where you will want to speak up, but you won't be able to because you're 'just a pharmacist.'
I was at Federal Medical Centre(FMC), Abuja, recently and was informed that the Pharmacy department needs about 3 Corper pharmacists (NYSC) to join their team. So if you know someone(corps member) interested, kindly share this with them.
The time is NOW!

I've noticed a lack of pharmacist representation at some events.
see ehn, I understand that you feel undervalued or underpaid. While you work towards a better situation, attending events (both within and outside your niche) is a great way to meet people & find opportunities.
The concept of “building in public” cannot be overmphasized. Think about it
Can you light a candle & hide it under a bushel? No now🤭
Show your work!!!
P.s I’m ijeoma a Virtual Assistant & I help busy professionals like you to free up 35% of your time for strategic initiatives.
Congrats to every Pharmacist graduating or getting inducted this month! Wishing you favor in the job market.
I hope you have a concrete plan too.. 🤲❤️

, a supply chain thought leader and CEO in Nigeria answered my question "is passion enough?" She said "Life is 80% passion and 20% work anyway, just be consistent and keep at your dreams". This was enough validation and has changed my orientation totally.✨
I got a remote job 😭 it's always been my dream to work remotely.. Was so scared to share this(I didnt want to jinx it)🥺. however, I heard “you preserve your testimony by sharing”... still feels unbelievable. Thank you, Jesus! 😭
Few days ago, I received a message on IG that changed my stance. A Doctor(who runs her clinic), reached out to me, saying, "I've been watching your videos, and I'm so impressed with your work. I'm wondering if you could bring your magic to my social media pages 🍃
Thread 👇
Discovered this pharmacist-turned-product designer's profile on IG & followed immediately.
Turns out she’d been a YouTube follower since 2020! 😮
Now excited to invite her to my community to share valuable tips. If you would like to be apart, click here
Pharmacists who have gone on to do amazing things in non-traditional roles have one thing in common: they are willing to learn, take on opportunities, and go outside their comfort zone.
I had the utmost pleasure of meeting thought leaders,& executives of various healthcare organizations, at home and abroad. I still haven't found the best words to describe how I'm feeling. There's work to be done, and I'm motivated and inspired to say the least.🙌
If you're a pharmacist and you missed the just-concluded Natraph conference, you missed out! 🤧
As an advocate for the pharmacy profession, I can tell you that this conference was the best thing to happen since I returned to Nigeria. So mark your calendars for next year!
Today I am reminded that
1. God sees us. 🥲
see this thing called vision board.. It works.. I will tell you for a fact!
3. keep showing up! no matter how little.. Little here, little there..
P.s- was contacted to create a UGC (video) for a hair brand
Congratulations 🎉 💃
Our Twitter Cheif Pharmacist! Community pharmacist of d year 🤣
Y’all Nkem is the best, even though today was her P.O.P day, she still found time to come video collaborate with me. That means a lot to me. Thank you, and best wishes in your future endeavors🎉
A Nigerian Pharmacist working in Canada wrote this and I agree. She said...
“Fellow medical professionals, I'm here to tell you that it's time we stop accepting substandard pay and working conditions. We deserve better, and we need to start advocating for ourselves.”
I will like to embark on a YouTube series with pharmacists from different countries/continents.
If you are interested in sharing your experiences as a pharmacist in your country, please feel free to send me a direct message.😎
what? Apostle Femi Lazarus's teaching in CCI yesterday was so profound! One of the things he said, with context of course, was "Don't forget many people are coming for you because you look like who they like but they can't have. 🥲
You must find out why they are coming for you!
I see no reason why a pharmacist who possesses the necessary skills & leadership qualities would be excluded from taking on the CMD role in a hospital.✨
Isn't it an administrative role to begin with? 👀
So why not consider those who have the qualifications & experience?🤭
Hopefully, we pull off something for pharmacists (a physical workshop |conference) something different from the usual ones we are used to.. before the end of the year. especially for pharmacists transitioning into nontraditional roles or careers. Tech x Pharmacy. God willing🤲👂
