DAramis:
The price you mentioned is definitely much and private school is out of option for her. As for the A-levels, she will use it to gain admission straight right or what?

Thank you for the information so far.

DAramis:
Thank you for your detailed reply. My younger sister is an aspirant and she made similar remark on not being interested in pursuing her program in nursing school. That she would prefer the university route though she didn't have any cogent reason for such.

If you don't mind, do you have idea of good federal universities with great admission rate, affordable fees and good pass rate/graduation rates? Also, which university are you attending if it is not much asking?

She is making plans for it and I want to gather as much information I can get as possible for her in order to direct her appropriately.

DAramis:
My question is this, why do people still have to go to back university after attending school of nursing?

Is it that, the education and skill acquired in nursing school is not adequate or could it be due to salary structure between them and nurses that graduated from universities being different ( Like it was obtainable between HND and university graduates)?

Nigeria schools are scam
Here is what it says:
"PhD degree holders: Under the law, professionals holding PhD degree will be awarded with the Golden Visa. The individual should be holding PhD degree from one of the top 500 universities in the world."
No Nigeria University is in first 500

MackyNaija:
Attached is the 99% exact resume I used in applying to approx 30 companies.
No talk say you no see the ".docx file". Look well..

Heard back positively from maybe 5 (Fronti3r, Pl3xus, 4pple, Hyv3 and Av1at), many from Link3dIn I rejected, mostly not among the 30 I applied to.

In summary,
1 cancelled on d morning of the scheduled interview
1 ghosted, no interview scheduled
Interviewed with 3, got 1 and half (half mean say them still never gimme offer and no gree send me reject email)
The confirmed reject asked me last wednesday to interview for another team - I'm Not Interested, the process is tiring!

In reality the story is longerrrrr, will find time to elaborate.

Gtg... I don late for work!!!

MackyNaija:
* Try to make very good grades.

- It shows seriousness and dedication on your part. A masters + high grades? We need to hire this one!

- Competition is fierce. If two candidates are almost equal, hiring managers will find how to differentiate between them. A gpa can be used.

- An interview I attended in July, 5 man panel...
1 of the seniorrr engineers kept making reference to the Gpa over the course of an hour. Each time he mentions it, I blow my trumpet!
Got an offer in 24 working hours.

- American babes will see your bright future, they will love you!
My wife, her mama, papa, aunties, grandma and the entire family all deh reason - 'this guy is so smart, he will definitely end up at NAsA'.

- You'll feel indestructible. If you can blast in your Masters, what else is impossible?? Nothing!
You go use that same high Gpa that begets high morale do deh do heavy and high things. You'll march into any company like say na your papa get am.
Add $300 suit join sha - Most interviews wey I go, I go dia go oppress them! Jobless marafacka but I dress pass the company GM.




Before I forget - internship and job seekers, go on Youtub3 and watch All the videos of 'ch33ky scient1st'. You'll understand very well how to package yourself for job hunting.

I'm out! Breakz ova!

Abcruz:
Been passionate about school doesn't prevent you from learning a skill. If you should look at the current state of Nigeria, banking on the degree alone may lead you off the bridge.

Know this and know peace

mudiana:
I think u feel it's only tru school you can achieve something in life, that's not true. I have a master's but lemme shock u, I haven't used both my b.sc Nd m.sc to get a job. I learnt how to fix laptops in 3 months Nd steadily I grew from dere to selling laptops. I have a big business by God's grace now. School is good no doubt but don't let it limit your progress in life. You can achieve more without school, just look for what you are passionate about and go for it. soon it will become a money magnet for u.

MackyNaija:
As the thread title says -
What I say here is from my opinions borne out of what I have seen + heard and my personal experiences.

American employers love their education and job experience. The more of these you acquire, the juicer you become. Don't listen to anyone that says it's impossible to get ahead in America, do what is required and it will push your career ahead.

Current students, try to get an internship. I'll drop my resume here this weekend - one page long that includes anything remotely related to the role I was interested in. *Format it to appeal to your field.

Loaded the resume to the brim and was ready to defend everything written in it. Some things inside na partially dagbo!

NURSING SCIENCE:
Do you care so much about people that you are willing to take enough time to nurse them back to Health? Do you like building solid and Honest relationship with people? Are you looking for an Advancing Career where you never stop rising? Can you hold your bladder for a long time? Are you not really Grossed out(Strong Stomach)? Do you not mind being there for a Patient even at his or her death period? Then Nursing is for you.
Nursing has being in existence from time immemorial. It is a profession which was designed to bring back a patient to Health and wellness. For example after serious Surgery a Patient has undergone,a Nurse (Perioperative Nurse) is the person who was there before,during and after surgery to ensure the patient is getting better or ailing even more.
Nursing Science:
The science of nursing is characterized by three themes of inquiry that relate to the function of intact humans: (1) principles and laws that govern life processes, well-being, and optimum function during illness and health; (2) patterns of human behavior in interaction with the environment in critical life situations; and (3) processes by which positive changes in health status are affected.
The Myth:
The myth is that Nursing is thought to be a Female profession or at least appears so. This became very pronounced during the Crimean War when Soldiers were injured and sick. The Lady Florence Nightingale was actively involved in treating patients using are two trademarks; Aseptic and Her Carrying Lamp. She is referred to the Mother of Modern Nursing. She propagated this Propaganda which is still in play till today" they are too dirty(Men) and less of a heart to handle this" when she was asked about men in the profession later.
Another cause that there was an age of technology and advancement of Technology and Medicine. Then Many Men left for them because they were paying a lot of money. Then women filled in this things.
Another Problem was there was poor enlightenment of young males to enhance them coming into the profession.
Nurses who are Men are doing great in their field and thriving exponentially.
Nursing Science In Nigeria: It started in UNIMAID in 1978. It seeks to understand the science of wellness of patients and not only that, it seeks to understand patient response to psychologically,spiritually and Physically.
Where Can I work?
*Hospitals
* Care Homes
* Pharmaceuticals
* Military and Paramilitary
* Teaching Facilities
* Public Health
The advantage of Nursing is that it is an independent profession. It has virtually all the various disciplines in Medicine and even More. They work very closely with Doctors to help patients get better.
A Big advantage when you study Nursing Science(BNSc), you get three Certifications i think
* Registered Nurse (R.N)
* Registered Midwife (R.M)
*Registered Nurse of Public Health (R.N PH)
CONS:
* As a man you build your confidence to overcome Gender Discrimination
* You may not get so much mouth watering pay initially
* You must continually build yourself to avoid being static
* Endure a lot so you don't lose your cool.
* So much Quackery

My fellow nurses, can someone please help me with this?
Thanks in advance

Bevista:
According to official figures on the WHO website, road accident kills over 60k per year in Nigeria. Last time I checked, total number of deaths from Covid-19 is less than 1k.

If it's about public health and saving lives, should the government not be more concerned about road accidents? Also, as some of those accidents are a result of irresponsible behaviors (like over speeding), should the government not enforce a 15km/hr speed limit on all highways, so that irresponsible drivers like you (who like to do over 100km/hr) will not cost the lives of other innocent road users? Go figure!

There's a term SURGE normally used medically or so to say where one tends to appear physically and mentally fit after a long term of being terminally sick or sudden fatal accidents unexpectedly... One minute you think the patient is getting better but not knowing that his/her time is up....

Have had experience of it.. I think same happened with both men

Doctors should please help out
