I'm sure the woman is not a registered nurse, probably one of the quacks Drs use in their private hospitals who go about wearing white claiming to be nurses and destroying nursing image. The newspapers should also find about the so- called nurses identity before claiming a nurse did something, not everyone you see wearing white and claims to be nurses are nurses, especially in most private hospitals. There are lots of quacks everywhere. SAY NO TO QUACKERY, the quack nurses are a menace to the populace, yet some incompetent Drs use them in their mushroom clinics to save money by paying a token to these quacks at the expense of the patient's health. May God help us

Good that federal government is fulfilling her own part of the promise.

GENEVA ¦ 31 JULY 2015 - Results from an interim analysis of the Guinea Phase III efficacy vaccine trial show that VSV-EBOV (Merck, Sharp & Dohme) is highly effective against Ebola. The independent body of international experts - the Data and Safety Monitoring Board – that conducted the review, advised that the trial should continue. Preliminary results from analyses of these interim data are published today in the British journal The Lancet.

"This is an extremely promising development," said Dr Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization. "The credit goes to the Guinean Government, the people living in the communities and our partners in this project. An effective vaccine will be another very important tool for both current and future Ebola outbreaks."

While the vaccine up to now shows 100% efficacy in individuals, more conclusive evidence is needed on its capacity to protect populations through what is called “herd immunity”. To that end, the Guinean national regulatory authority and ethics review committee have approved continuation of the trial.

A line of defence against a terrible disease

"This is Guinea’s gift to West Africa and the world,” said Dr Sakoba Keita, Guinea's national coordinator for the Ebola response. "The thousands of volunteers from Conakry and other areas of Lower Guinea, but also the many Guinean doctors, data managers and community mobilisers have contributed to finding a line of defence against a terrible disease."

"The 'ring' vaccination method adopted for the vaccine trial is based on the smallpox eradication strategy," said John-Arne Røttingen, Director of the Division of Infectious Disease Control at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and Chair of the Study Steering Group. "The premise is that by vaccinating all people who have come into contact with an infected person you create a protective 'ring' and stop the virus from spreading further. This strategy has helped us to follow the dispersed epidemic in Guinea, and will provide a way to continue this as a public health intervention in trial mode."

The Guinea vaccination trial began in affected communities on 23 March 2015 to evaluate the efficacy, effectiveness and safety of a single dose of the vaccine VSV-EBOV by using a ring vaccination strategy. To date, over 4 000 close contacts of almost 100 Ebola patients, including family members, neighbours, and co-workers, have voluntarily participated in the trial.

The trial stopped randomisation on 26 July to allow for all people at risk to receive the vaccine immediately, and to minimize the time necessary to gather more conclusive evidence needed for eventual licensure of the product. Until now, 50% of the rings were vaccinated 3 weeks after the identification of an infected patient to provide a term of comparison with rings that were vaccinated immediately. This now stops. In addition, the trial will now include 13 to 17-year-old and possibly 6 to 12-year-old children on the basis of new evidence of the vaccine’s safety.

If the vaccine is effective, then we are protecting frontline workers from the virus

"In parallel with the ring vaccination, we are also conducting a trial of the same vaccine on frontline workers," said Bertrand Draguez, Medical Director at Médecins sans Frontières. "These people have worked tirelessly and put their lives at risk every day to take care of sick people. If the vaccine is effective, then we are already protecting them from the virus. With such high efficacy, all affected countries should immediately start and multiply ring vaccinations to break chains of transmission and vaccinate all frontline workers to protect them."

The trial is being implemented by the Guinean authorities, WHO, Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, with support from a broad partnership of international and national organizations.

"This is a remarkable result which shows the power of equitable international partnerships and flexibility," said Jeremy Farrar, Director of the Wellcome Trust, one of the funders of the trial. "This partnership also shows that such critical work is possible in the midst of a terrible epidemic. It should change how the world responds to such emerging infectious disease threats. We, and all our partners, remain fully committed to giving the world a safe and effective vaccine."

"This record-breaking work marks a turning point in the history of health R&," said Assistant Director-General Marie-Paule Kieny, who leads the Ebola Research and Development effort at WHO. "We now know that the urgency of saving lives can accelerate R&. We will harness this positive experience to develop a global R& preparedness framework so that if another major disease outbreak ever happens again, for any disease, the world can act quickly and efficiently to develop and use medical tools and prevent a large-scale tragedy."

Snowangel4:
Pls I am confuse...
I want to know the steps in applying for nursing in Nigeria.
Do i need jamb or just my waec. Thanks

There are two options available; one is to go through the university system which is a 5year program while the other one is to go through nursing school which is 3years. Nursing education is currently undergoing reform in the country and soonest university degree May be the minimum requirement to practice nursing in Nigeria .

Note that if you wish to proceed to obtain your university degree after 3years in school of nursing in Nigeria,you will have to spend either 4years as a direct entry student or 5years as a part time student.

Nursesarena (dot)com contains most resources you will need in making a decision. Feel free to ask further questions or clarifications.
