DABMarkNig2019:

but who do you trust?
The issue of trust is subjective.
Note that they have to undergo extra training to play that role so they are well equipped to take on the responsibility.
Hence it is a matter of personal competence.
Even among doctors, I am sure there are some who you trust more than others even though they all received the same training. Why? The reason is, personal competence.

Those of us who their mum studied Nursing in the UK, or between 1960's-1980's in Nigeria are the real original nurses! this quack mordern nurses with over size white uniforms and something that looks like a cardboard box on their head have no clues what they doing. I will not let one come near me with a needle.

Use to love seeing my mum in that pure white uniform, shoes, cap and her red belt! Bless you Chief Matron! RIP

The story from Op na frank lie.
it's very misleading and erroneous.
Doctors, nurses, Anaesthetic, pharmacist, physiotherapy, nutritionist, surgeon etc all manage patients as part of the team and none of them can take the other's role.
Respect yourself and don't feel inferior

I was hoping to read an interesting piece only to read another I am better than my position post.
I thought you would expand on the nature of patient care and the existing problems faced by nurses on thier jobs.

Here we go again.

The opening paragraph is nauseating. Policies are for the good of the public and not to stroke your ego.

You are a nurse be proud of your profession.

Looool. I just shake my head for the health sector in this country. Nurses are well trained in medical and surgical courses? Just because they did physics in part 1 and anatomy in part 2. U know what, when u r pregnant, just go and meet an anatomist to deliver you. U hear? Dts why I love med rehab, they don't do all this shits. Nurses always feel inferior, therefore creating pandemonium with erroneous post everywhere. A doctor can never write something like this.nurses shd just focus on their work and forget this pseudocompetition. Hw many classes of antidepressants do u knw. But u know same tin as doctors. God will heal u guys of this diabetic foot ulcer.

I like the point about... Deep lacerations and the nurses waiting for the doctor to come suture it up. I would have loved for you to throw more light so those people who see nurses as monsters would Have a rethink.. Take for example
A nurse is on duty and an emergency RTA victim is brought in and there was no doctor at the time. You will see the patient relatives screaming down the building, calling nurses all sorts of names cos they refused to attend to the patient without knowing that policy and rules are what's keeping the nurses from attending to the patient and not cos the nurses cannot take care of the problem. And if by chance the patient dies before the doctor comes in.... Then the nurse on duty will receive hell from the victim's family.. Its time to nurses are given certain kind of recognition expecially in Nigeria. In the situation where a nurse is faced with some cases and the doctor is not there, let her be accorded the privilege to do what she can to save the patient... In this country of ours, once a case is brought in, the patient relatives wouldn't mind the profession of the people they meet in the facility, they don't even care if it's the cleaners they meet, all they want is instant and immediate response to the dying patient and once they are not attended to., they go to the media screaming wolf. Painting the facility with all sorts of colors. Let the nurses be given the chance to practice what they are taught. My opinion.
God bless you jare. This policy has led to the loss of so many lives.Nurses are like the front desk officers, and they should be allowed more emergency responsibilities.

Stop posting trash and read up the guidelines for establishment of private clinics and nursing homes.
What are you even on about? Spewing garbages allover this thread instead of educating yourself on the legal backings for setting up clinics.
