Prettychyna: @ Nuoriah, So you still believe in this your know it all philosophy? SMH4U!talking about incompetence,what do you have to say about a doctor that prescribed IV chloroquine for a patient?or one that prescribed ampiclox 4g qds for a minor infection? Or a HO that said you use izal to treat diabetic foot?what do you have to say about the bunch of incompetent doctors killing patients because they don't want to believe that they don't know it all or don't wanna listen? ,if not for the protocol and law guiding the health care,you will bear with me that most of the nurses and doctors work will overlap.As if we didn't enter the same class with med students for anat,physio,biochem,pharmac. ,we monitor the patient and that is what we write in our nursing process and you work based on the information we give you,well unless you also don't listen to the nurses which is quite unfortunate. My dear,we are also there to catch your mistakes which a good doctor always appreciates The nurse also prevents the incompetent doctors from accidentally killing patients that is why we spend 5years in the university to learn all we know unlike you that spend just 6years learning the work of a doctor,nurse,lab scientist,pharmacist,radiographer,physiotherapist,nutritionist and recently I heard you will start learning traditional medicine(you mentioned earlier you know all that)! So hilarious!!real jack of all trade master of none . If you are a doctor my dear ,stick to that and stop trying to outdo others in their field. As for passing the MBBS, I have seen what they do in school in the name of writing professional exam! Its so painful when our so called medical students sort their way through, this is an exam where the brilliant ones fail while the dunces with little cash cross over. Its only in 9ja that this argument happens

lord kpakpando: Based on gathered information from the horse's mouth " A DUNCE CAN BE A MEDICAL DOCTOR AS LONG AS SHE IS A FEMALE AND OFFERS HER BODY OR HAS MONEY TO SORT THROUGH OUT MEDICAL SCHOOL BUT A DUNCE CANNOT BE A PROFESSIONAL NURSE because ONE OF THEIR EXAM BEFORE GRAUATION IS BEING MARKED BY THEIR PROFESSIONAL BODY OUTSIDE THEIR SCHOOL UNLIKE DOCTORS WHO THEIR SO CALLED M.B.B.S IS BEING MARKED BY THEIR SCHOOL". Some people dont know dat its easier to graduate as a medical doctor than to graduate as a university nurse.

KakBala: nice one from u.. I just finished my Bsc. Nursing last year and this whole thing is making me smile.. Well, it has always been like dis between doctors and nurses..

Smartie gurl: Wow! Gud to hear that becuz am aspiring to be a Nurse. Thats why am in love with this thread, somhow pple's comment here got me thnking like is this really how Doctors treat their nurses? Wel, i care less abt hw they ar gonna treat me cuz i neva became a nurse 4 their sake, am only gonna do ma job as nurse without minding how am treated.

armadeo:


And u will be surprised how u are treated. U said " am only gonna do MY JOB as a nurse without minding how am treated. There in lies the key to a succesful nurse do ur job and u'll find pride in it. If a doc gives instructions u r not comfortable with let him/her know the sensible one will either educate u or take correction.
Funny where I am I have never had a clash with anyone in my dept be it nurses. I entered a well structured unit everyone does his job and we all live happily.
For those nurses midwives bsc msc phd etc pls just do ur job and stop chasing shadows.
U can't write ur diagnosis or treatment for a patient the doc does that however u administer the drugs and can note side effects. U are even on ground to say that this drug appears to be better than that as u have noticed in ur patients, DO UR JOB and be proud of it and u'll be surprised the heights u"ll attain.

ojubi: @ Beautiful Onyi, your post just summerised your wrong personality, arrogance, and ignorance. You claime it takes only 3 years to be a nurse, you lied. It takes another 2 years after general nursing to specialise, that is second qualification. Then it takes another 4 years to have a degree, do the maths let see between a doc and a Nurse who spend more years studying. You also claim a child and an untrain person can practice nursing, that is the hight of ignorance.
Finally you exornorated foreign nurses from your insult. That tells me how ignorant you are, because you should know that the west african nursing corriculum is copied directly from the united kingdom.

drnoel:

sorry but u can't base ur arguement on the mistakes of a House Officer (HO). I was one of those HOs who agreed very early in housejob that I didn't know anything and begged the nurses to teach me and they did. Though it took me about 3 months b4 I realized and many mistake along the line with the nurse laughing at me smirking all along the way. Anyway, after I learnt I gained my respect back cos the matrons always came to get me from my other posting to teach new HOs they wanted to help but where finding it difficult.

Gracious10: Hmmmmm, I have followed this thread and read every single post with relish.

Truth is that no health profession functions without the other, courtesy demands that you treat other health team colleagues with respect.
Nigeria is a Jungle where professionals go about trying to eat each other alive.

Those asking nurses to become doctors, if everyone became a doctor,how can we then function? I love what I do and I don't stop learning. If one piece of information could increase my level of knowledge and help me function better in my field, I go all the way to get it whether you are a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, nutritionist. What matters is that you have gained experience in your area of profession. The continuous bickering is very unnecessary as I have seen doctors who can't even insert an IV neither can they make diagnosis or even know what to assess. I have met ones who are very intelligent and enjoy what they do. There are bad and good ones.

If our professional bodies are doing bad, let's be the change we want to see. No matter how a patient/client offends you, patience is a strong virtue of a nurse. You can never do without that. What bothers me most is the work load of a Nigerian Nurse, it enormous and could affect proper care for clients.

What I was really expecting are those issues that affect care in a nursing setting. The technical, ethical, educational and economic issues affecting the field. How do we handle them and where do we go from here? Change can't come in one day but we can start somewhere. Enough of the bickering. We have some real issues, let's deal with them.

Dr9ce:
How can you openly display such a high level of intractable ignorance....where does the external examiner(s) come in at d different levels of exam being written in med skul...SMH

emmalexabl:
Don't get insulted but is your job devoted to spreading IGNORANCE..??
Now let me educate you nitwit..,
1) There is no basis for such a comparism b/w ur so called nurs cert or whatever you call it to M.B,B.S .
B/c it takes minmum of 6yrs (sometimes upto 12yrs) of hardwork to earn M.B,B.S but for ur nurs cert, 3yrs or less is enough for me to grab it and wipe clean my ass.
2) You said a female DUNCE can easily pass thru med school by sleeping her way thru.
Lol... bet you that professional LovePeddler like you with all ur expertise would still not make it through med school bc you must have died of exhaustion( having slept with nothing less than 50 of them males and females alike) even before you make it past the first MB.
3) You claimd that ur exams are marked by external invigilators, this is untrue bc its same lecturers that still go to mark ur scripts but same can't be said of M.B'B.S exam where you meet external examiners (local/foreign, males/females alike) ,who score you on the spot.
4) The above being true..,and with ur earlier assertions on females sleeping with examiners to pass, then i would say your ur harlotery knows no bound as u(female) would also sleep with the female examiners, as well as their male colleagues to pass. ..
Now u see how mentally sick you are and why a DUNCE like you will never make it through med school.
My 2 cents!!

jidewin: Nurses are angels ..Mwah!

lord kpakpando: no 1. a female dont need to sleep with 5O men as you said, just sleep with the HOD and you will pass, no 2. If you are a male in med skl i will advice you ignorant slowpoke to ask you female colleages how they scale thru their exams. No 3. As you said that mental illness runs in your family i will advice you to visit a psychiatric hospital to check your status. IDIOT
