Q:   Can I do Pharmacy after Nursing?

A: 

Yes, it is possible to pursue a Pharmacy course after completing a Nursing program, but there might be some considerations and potential challenges to address.

In many cases, Pharmacy courses have specific eligibility criteria that may require a Science background, particularly in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Mathematics at the Class 12 level or equivalent. 

Since Nursing programs often focus on healthcare and may not cover these specific Science subjects to the extent required for Pharmacy admission, you may need to fulfil these requirements before applying to a Pharmacy program.
