I am a doctor and can tell you that there are two types of nurses, those who are nice and those who are not. Unfortunately, the nice ones are much fewer. No beef, just my personal experience

I need to hear from the nurses

Public hospitals are the worst,especially to a woman in labour.

When I was in secondary school, there was a very mean nurse that students were afraid of. Thank God she never attended to me. Because of her, a lot of people were scared of becoming ill

Not funny

Not all of them exhibit such, but for those who do...maybe some kinda character trait

My mum is a nurse and she is neither rude nor mean,she is very,humble,respectful and kind

tempem:








Lol.. Busted!



We have only caring nurse on NL...


Haven't yo been to health section?

Wait till you encounter them physically, they will use needle to make water filter out of your nyash.

My mum wasn't rude, I watched her attend to her patients with love, some even gave her gifts when they recover..I'm typing in tears miss you mum.

In one word: #Frustration

I wonder.

True o.

i dont know what to say. but nurses are great. maybe we should try and serve a bed pan once we will understand that only a humble person can stay in that job.

if soldier wants to slap you, does he smile? ... so a nurse who wants to inject rat poison into your body don't have to smile
@Op are you clear now

All you need from them is to treat you and nothing more ,,,

The Nigerian ones in the Uk too are like that..with their big bum poking out from their undersize uniform

Na pride now. they believe they no fit sick.But not all of them sha..na only some ooooo

If you're talking about the Nurse as being Rude and mean, what should we say of Nigerian Force e.g police?

The fall of naira to dollar is enough to make any one angry... Let's hope they fix the economy soon. Before I forget the hot sun may also be a contributing factor.

I'm among the few op

How far, I wan marry nurse

OP, not all nurses are rude so don't generalize.

Some patients and their relatives too can be very annoying and rude. And you don't expect the nurse not to react negatively sometimes.

I'm not trying to justify the rude attitude of 'some' nurses. But some mannerless patients deserves some tongue-lashing from the rude nurses.

Rexhandsome:
I have discovered that Nigerian nurses are always rude and mean to their patients.This is prevalent in both public and private hospitals.You will walk in and see nurses playing with the doctors but immediately they sight a patient,their attitude changes.They will never smile and will always talk to you rudely,as if you are irritating them.I wonder if anyone has had a nasty encounter with a Nigerian nurse.

This is because you guys are simply too lazy to do the right thing by reporting them to their job ethics committee,hence the attitude - I don't take any attitude from any public servant .
If you harrass me with an attitude I'll tongue lash you to the point of committing suicide and report you to your boss after escalating it too let's see who's going to lose at the end of the day.
No time for any frustrated fellow running into my life and create two minutes chaos - I ain't letting you go scot free, after all he who fights should also expect to sweat.
Op report her immediately .

True talk but I don't know why

Why you go know why when you just dey move thread enter frontpage anyhow, no go wait make person book space finish before bringing another, person go come dey comment dot just because say he wan meet up.

you are right,especially the Nurses in Kogi state specialist hospital,they can be very rude to pregnant wommen and nursing mother with even threat of dealing with patient if thier person complains, but few are angels

lmao. our nurses are professionals. # sarcasm #

I don't think it should be generalized.. I did a surgery in a private hospital last year December and guy the nurses were awesome. Especially, the one that shaved my private area (back & front).

Initially, i was jittery but when i saw their professionalism, i gave up and the experience was beautiful till i was honorably discharged.

However, i can only speak for the nurses of this particular private hospital.

1,Overwork....the average Nurse is overworked and stressed. Especially in govt hospitals. I have been in hospitals where Madam Nurse is on call 24/7.

And let's be honest....we do not have enough nurses for the entire country.

2.Lack of facilities. Take the patient that is in chronic pain. Overseas....they have pain management down to a tee. In Nigeria...ouch. The poor Nurse has no facilities to manage the patient properly...and it is very easy to feel helpless.

3.Training...you know...they are supposed to train you to communicate with the patient in Nigeria....but they don't (Same for doctors too).

4.Patient's relatives are scared , frightened and confused by their relative's illness.(My mum spent some time in hospital last year....so I know the feeling). And they take that anger out on Nurses and other medical staff. Fuelling the annomisity.

Me i do report them at PALS i dnt care if they are laid,next time they will behave.

Two of my younger sisters are nurses. They even complain about the way some of their colleagues talk to patients. But some patients own dey their body.

Op, dats funny bt uve met few nurses.
1. Most nurses u saw in d private hosp u guyz use are nt nurses bt auzillaries who doesn knw d unique function of nurses

2. In general hosp do u guyz knw dat there are shortage of staff(majorly nurses) imagine a nurse who has to manage 3wards in state own hospital, whereas 3nurse are suppose to run a shift

3. Do u knw majorly patients are fraustrating. Imagine wen a pt is calling on a nurse dat he wants a urinal and anoda is shouting of pain at another corner anoda is due to 4 drug. The nurse has to make use of her/his triage system to response to their need. Yet many will complain dat d nurse is hostile and partile.

4. When human are faced with stress from human stressors their mode swing and pple wont see d sweet side of dem any longer bt their hostile view.

5. Most hospitals are not equip with enof instruments and dis nurses have to improvise with d available, yet most patients will complain of ill treatment.
If resources are provided 4 work and human power is not overuse. U will see d 1daful side of nurses.
Nurses are great listners

that's why we shall elect general Buhari as our president.
