As a doctor, I agree to most of what the graduate nurses are requesting for. There's no reason physiotherapists, optometrists or lab scientists should be placed above graduate nurses or why they should undergo internship with nurses being excluded.

Doctors, nurses and pharmacists are the CORE health professionals even though the doctor plays the central and cordinating role and sends the patient to get drugs from the pharmacists, get some care from the nurses amongst other things.

Those other health workers are ALLIED HEALTH PROFESIONALS and there's no logic as to why they should be placed above nurses. Their requests should be considered in the interest of justice.

Drdonzeez:
Say what you know.Don't disgrace yourself on public forum.


The nurses are indispensable members of the medical team.hence,be well compensated.

I dont want to say you have comprehension problem, but it's obvious you don't understand what I wrote. Read what I wrote again, and this time with the intention of understanding and not replying. Thanks.

Truth be told....Nurses work harder than other HCPs

elpatch:
Good write up but the enemies of the Graduate Nurses are the Registered Nurses who will go to any length to tramp on the realisation of the Graduate Nurses Demand. #Enemywithin

TruthTella:
Nurses seeking money from internship now?
bwahahaha
long throat like them
and before anyone comes here to say its for the work experience and not for the money ask yourself or any nurse you know if they will continue advocating for internship supposing they were told to only do it in private health institutions where workers are usually paid peanuts.

Drdonzeez:
Sharap!olodo doctor like you don't know the meaning of 'allied'.

Just shut up already! Have you no sense? Why so much hate for nursing? Nurses have the right to go for internship like every other health professional, core or allied but are being deprived. Yet, you will always find a stupid reason to justify it. If other professionals are doing it in Private hospitals then someone can bring that up. Is nursing less important than the other core and allied health professions? But the system keeps churning out half-baked nurses with more theoretical knowledge than practical, yet a shallow hater like you sees nothing wrong with it.

Please if you have nothing sensible to say next time, it always pays to just shut up.

TruthTella:


Why are you so angry?

Truth hurts doesn't it?

You guys are looking for money naa, no be lie I talk.

You nurses do practical training in University and Nursing school so I don't see how only 11months of internship will be the life and death difference between fully baked bread nurse and half baked nurse.

HaneefahRN:


That's your headache, mister. What truth? I'm only annoyed at your hypocrisy.

TruthTella:

okay sorry ma. your kids are cute btw.

Carefully went through the piece to locate where they would blame the doctors for their plight cos that's what JOHESU are very good at, blaming and comparing themselves to us.
I must say and point out to UGONSA and the general public that the problems faced by UGONSA has its head and tail from NANNM and the non graduate nurses. They see you as a threat to their practise, survival and relevance in the health sector and so they're doing whatever possible to frustrate you guys including manipulation of the CMDs.
I served with you guys and I must say there is a whole lot of difference (professional wise) between you and the non-degree nurses.
Lastly, these are teething problems, you would get over them. Speaking for the doctors now, that's one less headache in JOHESU.




Nurses divided.............. check!

Are you a nurse? If so then I must say this is the kind of attitude that's causing problems for the profession.

So true! Nigerian nurses earn peanuts! Definitely not a good profession if you are looking to be 'rich'

. Who told you Nigerian nurses earn peanuts? Goto teaching hospitals and fmc's and find out what they earn. You'll be surprised some of them earn up to 700k per month

diva90:


How many years experience do they have? Probably over 20 years of experience or they are at management level for them to be earning that. A new nurse what does she earn? Less than 50k not to talk of private hospitals. A nurse in the US makes in two days what a nurse in nigeria makes in a month.

ubecharles:
. No nurse earn less than 150k in federal hospitals. Drs in UK/US make in 1day what their colleagues in Nigeria make in 1month
