Becoming a father 'is' my greatest achievement. I waited almost 10 years to be called daddy and every time my little one calls me "daadee" it gladdens my heart.

I started with my OND, now 23 years later :
ND (SLT); RN, RM, RPHN (Basic & Post Basic Nur.); BSc (Microbiology); BNSc (Nur. Sc ); PGD (Education); MBA(Business Administration); MSc, PhD (Immunology & Immunochemistry); MPH (Epidemiology in view).
Start from where you are.
I started out my career with OND, and then proceeded to getting my HND because I didnโt get my preferred course at the University .
23 years after:
BSc, FCA, FCCA, MBA, CPA, CFEIโฆ
Awaiting what the future holds.
Permit yourself to soar, & it means taking off from the ground.
When I got my PhD, I sent a personal message to my pastor
@sam_adeyemi
. He may not have known, but God used him to inspire that process. The most amazing thing was that he responded to the message. Thank you for teaching me values, Sir.
After fulfilling the requirements as prescribed by statute and regulations of Igbinedion University and haven been found worthy of both character and learning, I was admitted into the degree of Bachelor of Nursing of Igbinedion University, Okada today the 24/11/23.

When I decided to study nursing, I prayed about it and had an impression in my spirit to speak to Bโค๏ธe and do whatever she says. I only told her in July. Her response "I know you are doing this for us" do it. So I did it. This post is Bโค๏ธe's appreciation post.

For the young Nurses that can afford it and are interested in studying in the UK. Instead of going for MSc public/Global health or the likes, you can apply for 1 yr pre-registration MSc programmes that makes you eligible to qualify in the UK without needing to verify with NMCN.
Make you think this thing. You be young person. You dey come from Lagos to Benin. You dey inside bus. Just before Ovia, after Okada SARS on the highway stop your vehicle.

I have had several like that. A particular one of note was when a first-year student asked if I was in her class, and I said yes. Imagine her shock two days later when I entered to teach her class. I made sure we all had a good laugh out of it. She is now a pharmacist.
How to write SOP, source for funding and scholarship for grad school should be included as a taught topic in Research. I should include it for my students this session.๐ค

How many undergraduate will like to be part of a Basic data analysis class FOC using Excel and IBM SPSS statistics other packages? I will be teaching the class. I am picking at least 20 for the first class. Kindly express your interest in the DM
When I enrolled in a nursing program people were laughing at me and called me crazy. How will you of all people with a Ph.D., with this and that? Well, some laughed me to scorn. I ran into one two nights ago. Incidentally he repeated the same thing to the person with him. 1/2

"Nurses are seeking international opportunities not out of sheer desire for emigration but as a response to being more valued and better-remunerated abroad. It is imperative that our systems support rather than hinder their aspirations" - UGONSA
For some that I know, nursing is all they have got. Don't blame them if they fight back with all they have got. This is a fight for their rights! A fight for their lives.
@DrJoeAbah
It is time NASS begin to record and publish how their members vote. They should scrap the comical era of 'yeas' and 'nays'. Documenting and publishing their individual voting patterns and contributions will go a long way to correct some anomalies. ๐ค
@mrmacaronii
You did not overreact. He was being deceptive. He was looking at creating the bandwagon effect. A lot of people will donate with some names including yours.
True. Some of us did not study nursing for japa. If I wanted to japa before now, I would have done so through diverse more rewarding pathways. What this is, is pure intimidation, abuse of office and process, illegality, and an infringement of fundamental nurses' rights. 1/2
Dear Nurses,
Let us not make this new verification policy about travelling out at all. Whether anyone wants to travel or not it is wrong on all levels.
How can a body that certified us as nurses tell us it will take them 6 months, 2 years after being certified (by them) as an

I came across a patient with auto brewing syndrome. I only identified it because I had seen it in a medical series. Sometimes, we learn without knowing.

This came in yesterday. I have been chasing this for over a year. The paper was rejected in January based on a tiny detail on a method. I made my case with the editors, a few revisions were requested. Finally accepted with a personalised note, thanking me for my patience. ๐

Dear lemon, donโt allow the water melon to convince you that youโre not successful till youโre as big as it. That will breed frustration. Give your unique value and be the best lemon in the world. Size is not the only measure of success. -

When does the 2 years start from? Many BNSc pass their exams a year before graduation, then one year of internship, and one year of NYSC. An intern nurse is a Nurse an NYSC nurse is a Nurse. Fresh Graduate nurse is a nurse.

As an immunologist with deep understanding of the importance of vaccines in preventing the spread of infectious diseases and protecting public health, I had to speak out because these claims because they are misleading.
There's no scientific evidence that vaccines have ever worked. If you claim that this is not true, I challenge you to an open debate on a global stage. Rev Chris Oyakhilome Dsc Dsc DD
As I was just trying to settle into party December mode, pre qualifying exam notice for second week of January. I no dey do. I go write am another time abeg. ๐ถ
Imagine the shock on his face when I told him I was already an RN. It was not easy but more than anything, I needed a new challenge at that time and this was it. Do not listen to the noise when you are on a path to fulfilling your purpose. 2/2
If you were in the car that dropped me off at Okada Junction from Ijebu Ode by 8:30 pm this night 14th August, My wallet must have dropped as I was trying to alight the vehicle. I have a card with my direct line on it. I need an important document in the wallet back please. ๐๐
I think Nurses should speak out more but apart from those in the medical line, many others, as evident from their tweets know nothing about what nurses are facing.
@cchukudebelu
I worked with Oibos for a number of years and experienced these things first hand. I tried to fight some I could in the best way I could but when your own 'brothers' in same conditions just for a few perks take you steps backward then it is difficult. The problem is systemic.
@PurpleEllipsis
Everyone heard the slap the office lady landed on this Oga. Ma'am, why would you do that, Ask him, she said pointing to the Oga with cold rage and disgust written all over her face? Oga quickly comported himself and dismissed everyone. It was later learnt there was a handshake๐

I only keep my Facebook account because it feels like a village to me. A village where I grew up but may never return to, where everyone knew knew everyone. My space was once big.
I have Italian, Cameroonian, Jamaican, Ibo, and Yoruba family members. I got married to an Ibibio. A Yoruba is my best friend. I use to live with Fulani and Hausa in my flat and had a great relationship with them. I served and met my spouse in the South East. 1/
One of my favorite pictures the other day was with my former grad student and my lecturer. She took three of my courses during her MNSc and I became her undergraduate student thereafter. She was really happy for me. She is a fantastic educator & teacher. God bless her real Good.
Dear Nurses stop undermining yourself. Bedside nursing is not the only thing you can do with your degree. There are a ton of roles you can take up if you take a little time to up skill.
Dear aspiring researcher, try to have your Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID). The ID gives you a way to reliably, unambiguously and permanently connect your names(s) with your work throughout your research career, including publications, grants, education, etc.

Some of the tough decision will be to cut down jumbo salaries, plug leakages at all levels of government, eliminate overbloated project cost, eliminate security votes, remove duplicate projects generally reduce the cost of governance where possible, etc
Even people who are changing jobs, and upgrading themselves for better income are berating nurses for asking to be paid commensurate wages with good working conditions. I do not rate you. You are hypocrites.
They threaten you some more. Remind you that you are on your own, that nobody is coming to save you, that they can kill you like a chicken and nothing will happen. Your crimes -You wear haircut, you wear jeans, or fine shoes, your lappy, you get smartphone.

I was in Uniben yesterday and wanted to eat somewhere then following conversation ensued.
Me: Madam give me food. I will transfer.
Madam: Abeg try the transfer first before you eat.
Me: Don't worry my opay no dey disappoint.
I eat then made a transfer.

It is medical oh. ๐. Doing that could trigger the release of some hormones like endorphins. Endorphins are like a natural analgesic and their release can diminish or appear to relieve the pains.
And for those of you shouting subsidized education. So you think studying nursing is cheap ? Some of us paid as much as 1.5 session as fees, then paid for RN indexing reg, pre council, exam reg, Licence Reg, pre RM, RM indexing, RM Exam, 1/n

She always violated the agreement changed her name and continued to work as a cook thereby endangering others in the process. She was rearrested and placed in Isolation for nearly 30 years until her death in 1938.
You could also take your transcript and use it to apply for a direct entry MSN programme in the US and Canada. Kindly note that this info is exclusively for the few who may be able to afford it. ๐ถ

This is uninspiring.
1. No position
2. No rejection
3. No ultimatum
4. No call for a meeting
5. Only diplomatically veiled promises that you have heard our concerns and will do something about it. Yet you could not list the concerns you intend to address.
