Hello All,
My name is Aunty
Nurse, I’m a pharmacist and in my little practice time, I
have made a lot of fascinating observations about the attitude of the average
Nigerian to health in general.
You may
wonder why my blog is not called “auntypharmacist”.
In my short
practice time I’ve noticed that when most people walk into a community pharmacy
and find a female in a lab-coat, they are very quick to conclude that she must
be a nurse or sometimes even a doctor. Almost no one considers the thought that
a young lady wearing a white lab-coat in a pharmacy could be a pharmacist. I think
that is really funny. Till today, people walk into the store and ask if I’m a
pharmacist and I do my best to be polite in my response. Although all I’m
really thinking is “DUH!!!!!!!!!!”
At one of
the community pharmacies/pharmacy shops where I worked, some people called me
Aunty Nurse and I just thought it had an interesting Nigerian ring and would be
a good name for my blog. So I would have to say a big thank you to them.
What is
Aunty Nurse about?
Well Aunty

Nigeria and the world at large. The

ReplyDeleteThis could be a good medium to promote healthy living by demonishing wrong preconceive idea on health issue.
This could also help turn healthy living into a way of life
Just make sure it does not promote self-medication.
