In 2016, Linda ikeji made a publication on her blog about how promiscuous nurses are. We haven't started @FellowNurses1 then, for the love I have for nursing, I personally made a rebuttal and get it published on leadnurse.africa@LeadNurseAfrica
I titled it "He who is without sin, cast the first stone"
4 years down the line,nothing seem to have changed. Why?
Yesterday,I made a tweet on how I can't kill myself for Nursing but some misunderstood that post and I think I need to explain to my followers who I truly respect
I've always been at the forefront when it comes to fighting for the just course of Nurses and I will always do. This is the foundation on which the organisation I built with like minded Fellows @FellowNurses1 stands on and we will continue to do this no matter what happens.
What brought about my post yesterday?
It was born out of the overwhelming issues arising lately in the profession. From quackery, to slanders to poor public image perception and most importantly the attitudes of nurses themselves. Barely a month ago,when Tunde ednut made his post
about Nurses I had a chat with @proudnursemj and I remember vividly telling her there's need for attitudinal changes on the part of the nurses themselves.
We're jointly fighting to redeem the poor public image of nursing but all you do on this app is to twerk and dance
erotically,expose your body parts for clouts, engage in discussion on how you can't do without sex daily or how you prefer dildo to a man &when we try to call you to order,you tell us you're a nurse and that doesn't mean you can't do whatever you like at your privacy. Your handle
name is sexy nurse this and that, hot nurse so so so and so, we talk and You tell us you own your page and you can do anything you like with it. But when they come with the songs "Nurses are prostitutes" you expect me to say No and fight for on your behalf, no dear, kole werk!
We have to put our house in order first.
We have to learn how to be professional both online and offline.
There's need for us to change our attitudes especially when it comes to our sexual fantasies.
There's no smoke without fire !
And yes , we know #Nursesarenotsexualobjects but please let it reflect in your words, actions and deeds.
END.

Drowning is the leading cause of death among children aged 1 to 4, according to CDC.Nearly 4,000 people die by drowning each year, and young kids are especially at risk. Here are basic first aid skills that can save a drowning child #Thread
Your first priority is to get the drowning child out of the water as quickly as possible. If they aren't breathing, place them on their back on a firm surface,immediately begin rescue breathing.
Gently tilt the child's head back with one hand, and lift their chin with the other. Put your ear to the child's mouth and nose, and look, listen, and feel for signs of breathing.
1. Your Salary will never be enough : Get a side hustle aside nursing.
2. Never drop copies of your license or certificate for any employer: They will never employ you. Rather, they would hire a quack and present the license you’ve given them to the government during accreditation or verification visits.
While you sleep,I stayed awake to ensure this patient on oxygen gets the right quantity.Patients on oxygen are vulnerable to complications like oxygen toxicity. This can damage the lungs of the patients & send them to untimely graves.
While this is ongoing, I’ve got another on Variable Rate Insulin Infusion ( VRIII ) and requires hourly BM. If this isn’t done, this patient ends up getting too much or too little insulin which invariably can kill him.
Another had just got back from theatre where he had laparotomy, even though the surgeon has termed the surgery “successful” the success of the surgery depends largely on the post-operative nursing care I render, How’s the incision site?
The NHS is the largest employer of Labor in the UK with about 1.84 million employees. Despite this, the vacancies in this sector are estimated to be about 100,000 as at late 2021. No doubt if you're relocating to the UK and you must get a job, the NHS is your best bet.
The average salary of most of these jobs ranges between £18,000 -£26,000 per annum.
I understand that many of us aren't nurses or doctors. Many don't even have a degree in any health related course and that's why I've put this together for you.
Prior to coming to the UK, I've heard and read about pain nurses, palliative,endoscopy,intensive care,trauma & orthopaedic,tissue Viability,oncology,diabetes, stroke, respiratory, practice development nurses etc. When I joined the NHS, I started making enquiries on these fields.
Back home,the process is clear, get a school of post basic nursing form, secure the admission & become a specialist nurse,here it isn't. Especially for the overseas trained nurses. These courses are being taught at the Universities. Back home, our idea of the Uni is different 😄.
