You people not in Nigeria just don't get it. The type of nurses the OP was talking about are the quacks. No formal training but apprenticeship form of training which is illegal but those quacks are everywhere and the doctors use them for cheap labour barring the consequences. No trained RN would perform such blunder the op talked about.
It's this u same abroadians that would be supporting the quacks and call them auxiliary cos of CNA that's available in abroad. CNA program is legal and recognised abroad but nothing like that in Nigeria. Those calling themselves auxiliary perform exactly like OP has depicted. They learnt like apprentice in roadside clinics and do "freedom" and go about killing people.
If you haven't studied in a recognised accredited school of nursing or university in Nigeria, you are a quack. Nothing like auxiliary, they are all quacks just like the person in OP

yunqdady:
Quit this narrative please. This is one of the statements affecting the growth of nursing in Nigeria.

@bolded

Don't let registered nurses come for you o, getting a degree just gives an edge. There are many schools of nursing and midwifery in Nigeria and they train very lovely nurses

yunqdady:
In Nigeria there are two pathways to being a Registered Nurse. One is through university(5years) and another through accredited schools of nursing(3years), just like college of education.
If not for greed and lack of foresight, the schools of nursing should not be in existence anymore but this is Nigeria

Dozis:
So today in the Pharmacy, a lady came in with a written note to buy the following antibiotics.
Perfloxacin 2
"Cipro infusion" 6
"Ciproxin tablets" 2
Rocephin 6.

On seeing the note I wasn't comfortable, I asked her who the drugs were meant for, she said it's for herself, I then asked her who prescribed it and she said a nurse, I asked her to call the nurse that I want to speak with her to know why she wants to give all these antibiotics to one person, maybe all the bacteria in the world are having a conference in the lady's body.

Not that the the one she wrote "Ciproxin" is ciprofloxacin and Cipro infusion is also ciprofloxacin but meant for intravenous use (these nurses usually call it Ciproxin or Cipro), Ciprofloxacin and Perfloxacin are the same class of drugs with similar mechanism of action, (same Pharmacology) just some differences in their chemical structures,

so basically this "nurse" wants to give one drug in two different forms (Ciproxin tablets and Cipro infusion) with another similar drug (Perfloxacin) to one person and don't forget Rocephin (Ceftriaxone) which is another powerful antibiotic.

So the nurse was called, I introduced myself as the pharmacist that wants to sell the drugs she wrote down for a patient and that I'm not comfortable with the patient taking all these at the same time, that it could cause more harm than good, she told me that the patient ran some infection tests and that those drugs she wrote are the ones that was recommended by the lab results.

Now let me explain what happened here, the lady ran some infection tests and the laboratory scientist also ran what is called antibiotic sensitivity tests to determine the most appropriate antibiotic to use for treatment, this helps doctors to go straight and prescribe the suitable antibiotic, just like hitting the bull's eye without beating about the bush.

So this nurse told me that according to the lab results, that the lady is supposed to use all the antibiotics that showed sensitivity, at this point my jaw dropped, I tried to let her know that she's making a mistake,she now told me to give the lady only "Ciproxin" I sold only a pack of Ciprofloxacin to the lady and told her this pack will suffice for whatever treatment she wants and that has needs further evaluation, she should go to a clinic and see a proper doctor.

She said she was directed to the woman because she has a good reputation of treating people of infections and they get pregnant afterwards, so it was a case of child bearing.
She left with the drugs and came back about thirty minutes later, that the "nurse" said that what I gave her was not Ciproxin, I collected my drugs back and refunded her appropriately. God knows I tried.

Her case was not the first and it definitely would not be the last, I see it everyday, nothing stops me from selling all those drugs and pocketing the money, but I have a duty which i also swore to, to protect and educate people on the dangers of drug misuse, that "Aunty Nurse" that learnt "nursing" on the roadside instead of going to school, that did freedom instead of graduation is who people prefer to patronise instead of going to hospital to get a proper care.

Unless you're assistant SATAN, you should have some level of positivity in your past that is worth judging/evaluating asides from your negative deeds.

JESHAL:
Don't convert my simple observation into a more nuanced argument with false analogy, I'm just expressing my shock you can have sympathy and speak out against injustice against men, these my first time seeing these from you, your previous posts make you appear like a manhater

JESHAL:
Insults, very immature of you
Your posts on several threads have always been anti-male, don't pour your anger on me, introspect and adjust your ways

JESHAL:
I'm just surprised you have compassion for the plight of young men

bigcee:

JESHAL:

Cousin9999:
Why?

Hyerin:
They hate to be labelled feminist or associated with that term so they can appear palatable to men. The same men that are misogynists and think women are beneath them . Pickmeism is a disease.

Octopusssy:
Very very old format. I'm amazed they're still using the format.

The last time I was in their middle, I told them I was married to a Ghanaian and didn't really know my way around Lagos. Meanwhile I was buying time, waiting for them to get as close as possible to my nearest bus stop because no way in God's green earth was I going to pay for this particular trip.

I smiled serenely while the fools jabbered away in excitement (they thought they don catch maga), occasionally nodding my head in agreement to the horse shït they were spewing. The recurrent motif in their antics is the bewildered French man who doesn't know he is supposed to pay for services with Naira, not USD, or the more common fleeing thief who has fled with his oga's box/bag of dollars. They are willing to give you a cut but you must go to one baba's house to swear an oath of secrecy.

As soon as I got to Ikeja Along, I hopped out of the vehicle James Bond style, gave spread my two hands at them and shrieked waka!! The driver asked me for fare and I screamed "All of una dey craze. 419!!" I then proceeded to quickly cross the expressway like a seasoned NURTW thug and went on my merry way.

Hediots. Them wan scammer Omo Eko. Their very fathers

Kobojunkie:
I read a similar retort yesterday from one who apparently claims not to be a feminist, this while arguing that women ought to do for themselves.
ROFLMAO

Hintona:
See the picture here

UyaiIncomparabl:
Honestly, just seeing his picture on that thread made me lost all interest to take anyone seriously on this forum.

Midas01:
Actually, I'd say most ladies have a pretty good idea of what feminism is all about as usual trust Nigerian men to hate anything that has to do elevating the female gender. So they're the ones that took feminism to mean a whole different thing entirely.

UndauntedYOCA:
Please educate yourself on feminism. It's not what some Nigerians take it to be.
In Africa, it started as a result of women wanting to end FGM (female genital mutilation), allowing women to get educated, take decisions, end subjugation and maltreatment of women. In Europe and other continents, women wanted rights to vote and do other things.
I can educate anyone on it, it's not the terrible one some ladies think it to be.
Knowledge is pure bliss.
