Background: Because the Pharmacological knowledge of nursing students depend on the expertise of the Pharmacology instructors, they must possess an in-depth knowledge of Pharmacology and excellent teaching skill in order to teach effectively. Our study was designed to assess and compare the quality of teaching pharmacology between a Pharmacist Pharmacologist and the Nurse Pharmacologist Materials and Methods: The study was conducted using a comparative, cross-sectional design. A questionnaire was administered to 95 nursing students who were asked to assess the teaching performance of a nurse Pharmacologist and a Pharmacist Pharmacologist based on 4 pre-defined performance indicators. Data was processed using Excel 2010 Version. Results: 80 (84.22%) of the study population had interest in Pharmacology while 15 (15.78%) were not interested. 68 (71.57%) of the nursing students preferred the Nurse Pharmacologist and 27 (28.43%) preferred the Pharmacist Pharmacologist. Conclusions: The Nurse Pharmacologist was a more competent Lecturer than the Pharmacist Pharmacologist. The students preferred the Nurse Pharmacologist to the Pharmacist Pharmacologist.
