HOW TO SAVE A DROWNING CHILD

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.

Dear new NGRN,

Congratulations and welcome on board!

Here are the 8 basic tips to surviving nursing in Nigeria. 76.8% of nurses don’t know this, hence they struggle and get frustrated.

#Thread
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.

JUST A NURSE❌

A NURSE AND MORE💯

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?

Thinking of relocating to work in the UK NHS without a degree in Nursing, Pharmacy, Medicine or any healthcare related course?

I've got your back!

#Thread
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.

NURSING SHORT COURSES THAT CAN PLACE YOU AT EDGE FOR A BAND 6 ROLE?

#Thread
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 😄.
