Anybody trying to drag religion into this is as unfortunate as the sole of his/her shoes

ChiefAzubuike:
Please you have to realize Mr Buhari is an old man and body no be firewood. He is not strong enough to leave Abuja and travel to plateau on an impromptu. Moreover he has a lot to think about and sort out from his busy schedule. The man can not come and kill himself because if these never satisfied Nigerians. He didn't even beg them to vote him in the first place.

so sorry o, but you are a fool.

that was Maslows hierarchy of needs written there. funny. maybe he/she was a nursing student.

I was prompted to script this piece when I read yesterday from the comment of certain moniker here called amarabae, that the problem the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) put themselves is being orchestrated by the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA /Doctors) .
#(screenshot below) #

Inasmuch as the veracity of such claim by such an anonymous online user remains inconsequential, I still wish to educate the unsuspecting public on certain things of paramount and topical significance.

Before I continue, I thought it worthwhile to introduce myself, so that you take cognizance of my biases, if any. I am NOT a medical doctor, at least for now, thus, suffer not yourself in trying to tag this as "espirit des corps" game.

Now, it is no longer news that JoHESu is on strike for reasons bordering on salary and hospital hierarchy.
The news is here:

ON SALARY:

I wouldn't comment on that because that is the business of the the govt. But let it be on record that if someone should complain of salary, it is the doctors. Nigerian Doctors cannot talk in the presence of their colleagues practicing abroad. They are the most underpaid persons with relation to the value offered. You can imagine the amount Canadian doctors are paid that made them to protest last time. An average consultant doctor in canada receives about 500,000 (about 180 million naira) dollars yearly. A consultant in nigeria is struggling with 10million naira yearly. Hence the reason 90% of Nigerian doctors are jetting out of the country, with many on the way out also. Even the few that are staying, are doing so, due to some supplementation coming from private practice. Otherwise, with the rate at which other countries are ready to issue visa to doctors, Nigeria may soon run out of doctors.
The truth is everyone needs a salary increase because cost of goods have increased, starting from teachers. However, the issue of salary still remains their business with the govt, but note that if your salary is increased to that of a doctor, the doctors will seek their own increase. It is natural to act that way.

ON HOSPITAL HIERARCHY

I heard they want to be given consultant nurse, consultant physiotherapist, consultant Med Lab Scientist etc.

People need to understand something. The hospital is structured in such a way that every treatment /instruction must be directed from the Consultant Physician or Consultant Surgeon. No patient receives anything in the hospital unless the doctor says so. The reason is not far-fetched. It is in the best interest of the patient, so that he/she is not malhandled. Imagine when we introduce a consultant nurse, a doctor will give his own instructions and the nurse will also like to execute his own consultancy expertise by giving his own instructions, at the end, the patient, is at the receiving end. The practice is that the doctor is and must be the head of the patient management team.

Most nurses are clamoring for consultancy because of the knowledge they acquire by virtue of working in hospital for years. They feel they can now challenge the doctor.

I will give an analogy: In Catholic church, we have the parish priest, we have the catechist. By virtue of working at the alter for about 10years, the catechist can comfortably celebrate the mass. Infact he can even celebrate more than the priest if given opportunity. He can also be more prayerful than the priest. But no matter the condition, the catechist can never celebrate mass or be equated to the priest simply because he can do what the priest can do if given the opportunity. There is formal way of becoming a priest, and it is open to everyone, thus, if the catechist wishes to be celebrating mass, he should simply enroll into the seminary, and boom, he becomes a priest. That is the formality.

Nurse vs Nurse Dichotomy

There are two types of nurses, we have those that attended school of nursing(Registered Nurse. RN). we also have those that are studying nursing in university (B. Sc). The truth is that the BSc holders are paid far higher than the RN holders. Why is it so? In terms of work, I need not tell you that, the RN holders are the ones that do the major suffering in the hospital, and JOHESu will not harmonize their salaries so that all nurses are paid parallel amount. But they want to be paid what doctors (mbbs) are paid. That's hypocrisy.


Medical Laboratory Scientists vs Medical Laboratory Technology

The way Medical lab scientist (Bsc) discriminate against the Med lab technologist (HND) is another case study. You and I know that those polytechnic guys are more practical oriented and cannot be equated with university counterparts. But yet, the Bsc holders still lord it over the HND holders. They claim superiority over them, and yet want equality with doctors. Another hypocrisy.


Med Lab Scientist vs Microbiologist.

I happened to study microbiology in my first degree. As a microbiologist, you cannot have a lab on your own. You must work under a med lab Scientist. Even when the knowledge base is the same among the two disciplines.

Last time on Facebook I saw some graduates of med lab from ABSU hanging stethoscope on their neck, calling themselves diagnostic doctors. Thats so laughable. And that has been the delusion that has been making them think they are equal with doctors. That you can see bacteria in urine in the lab does not make you diagnose a patient of infection. A doctor makes 95% of the diagnosis from history and physical examination, just right in the consultation room. The lab tests are to confirm diagnosis and also check for the other systems that the patient may not be complaining of. Also every med lab Scientist works under a Consultant Chemical pathologist, consultant micro biologist, consultant Histopathologist, or Consultant hematologist as the case may be.


The Way OUT

The truth is that, there should not be the need for all these fracas if everyone remains to his job description and prescription. There is already a job description for doctors, nurses, med lab Scientists etc. If you are not comfortable with the job you do, you can switch and follow the formality laid out for that profession. There shouldn't be need for being a nurse and wanting to do the job of a doctor, or being a doctor and wanting to do the job of a nurse.
A doctor needs a nurse, a nurse needs a doctor, a med lab Scientist needs a doctor and vice versa.

In addition to that, every job has a salary scale, most times the salary does not justify the work they do, but only justifies the time and process it took to get there. The people that take the highest salaries in Nigeria are the people that do nothing. They only go to offices to enjoy the AC and go home at the end of the day. When the month ends, they collect millions. Its unfortunate society has made it that way. Let us have a rethink, and be human. Everyone needs salary increase, starting from teachers to doctors to JOHESU (except our senators ***winks***). The problem is getting it right at the electoral polls.

OP, I took little time to read the _____you call write up. Of course there are some iota of truth in what you wrote. But before I proceed, if you are not a doctor then what are you?. Coz I know how much it will be difficult for someone not in the system to perfectly understand this. And to think that Doctors are the most underpaid professional when compared to foreign colleague, pls have to tried to compare the nurses counterparts?
it's true that the demands may be tasking to fulfil, yes fine, but it's a way forward, it's the Aluta spirit. when demands are high, they will eventually settle at something better than setting the demand very low. some of these professionals are underpaid too, the professional dichotomy is real too. Everything needs reformation.

What is CRNA again abeg?

learn to use Google pls ,it safes you from asking simple questions. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist

tjadeba:
RIP to the dead. I wish the stupid authorities do better by transporting their corpses in an ambulance at least. They failed these unlucky guys while on earth.
Idiotic armed robbers!!!

I think you are the only human being on this thread as we speak. I was just scrolling down to see pples comment about how they are packed at the back of that truck.. just urs. Nigerians, we can do better, thou they are dead but pls let's respect the dead.. haba

GoroTango:
I absolutely agree with you. Had it been a Christian terror group who abducted the girls, and released only the Christians and yet still held onto the Muslims, there would most definitely would had been a violent reaction. The FG acted very irresponsibly by leaving that girl behind. I would rather all of them remain in captivity than let those monsters hold onto that little Christian girl

sorry o,but you don't have sense. as in you are very wicked, hypocritical and heartless. you are so concerned with the 1christian girl not released is more important than the 5lifes lost. You pple are not bothered

Alexk2:
When you understand terrorism deeply and their module operadi all over the world, you won't even ask any of those questions....rather you'll commend fg for getting this one right. It is never a conventional warfare that you can just go with your arsenals and And like that. All over the world, negotiations are made with terrorists for reasons similar to this one. It is ignorant and too much Hollywood that makes people believe USA don't negotiate with terrorist; they do wella. Though this kidnap shouldn't have happened to start with but we should all be happy that they're back wihin the shortest possible time. Trust me, it was irresponsibility and insentivity to human lives on the part of the govt of the day that makes chibok own linger on for this long.

sir, I refuse to concur to your point of view.
when has BK boys become so nice? let's leave that for now.. You remember what the Governor of the state said about the withdrawal of the military men from the state Just weeks to their abduction. So BK boys came into the state with trucks numbering 10 or more to convey the girls, driving for 4hours or more within the state without anybody questioning their activities? come on, same happened when they brought them back, it's all staged it's all scam. other terrorist groups don't do this, not so easy as such. even if terrorist groups wants to ask for ransoms, it's usually an outrageous request. so for the government to easily meet their request. it makes me feel naked. i'm not commending them at all. thou I'm happy for the lifes of the innocent girls that got involved in such a governmental scam
I refuse to believe #DAPCHI-SCAM

which set please, coz a secondary school classmate of mine also finished there..

Modupeolatemi01:
Well bros I wasn't throwing punchline when I said 'I'm not sure u r one. I'm sorry if it felt like one. I was just trying to correct that 300 level thingy cos it's so not true.

now you are highly welcome ,descendant of nightingale.

Modupeolatemi01:
BNsc nurses don't wait till 300level before they start clinical posting sir. I'm sure u r not one cos dts very ridiculous and strange. I am a BNsc nurse n I started my clinicals after year one, things have changed now.

Plus u might not be completely wrong probably some universities do that or were doing dt but not in my school where I graduated. All the same, nice write up.

Aunty modupe As much as I would love to commend you, you phucked up with one word.. I internationally left out the egocentricity part of the 2 party. which of course is common among the university chaps and it's even evident in your post. what calls for (I'm not sure you are one). .correction could actually be made without throwing punchlines.. Namaste

topearos:
I will go to Niger/Benin republic to get Bachelor in Nursing. Am tired of Nigerian Universities.

what you will face when you carry their yeye certificate here, you will cry in French

bjayx:
Is the university nurse graduate more sound than the nursing school graduate?

there exist this usual belief that products of schools of nursing are more sound in health care delivery (as in manual dexterity) because they get exposed to clinical experience immediately after there first 6month in school and they will constantly move from class -- ward, ward-- class almost every month till they finish their 3 years program.. compare to university nursing student that will start going to the ward maybe after their 300level. the above stated point cannot be 100% correct because we will still have students from school of nursing that will not be serious, viz we having university students that will go extra mile to learn. So question about who is better might be down on individuals zeal to learn. But in actuality, SON students get exposed to clinicals more than university students but I'm not saying they are better.

Also in terms of career prospects, the university way is far better than the School of nursing way because a university student spend 5 years and within this period he/she gets RN, (RM or RPN) and BNSc I.e 2 professional certificate and a degree which is an academic certificate
while a school of nursing student spends 3 years and gets only RN which is 1 professional certificate and for you to get degree,you have to wait for 1year for jamb direct entry to 200level, so another 4years for degree. so 3years + 1year + 4years = 8years... so someone spent just 5years while someone will spend 8 years. Do the math and choose wisely..

Even if this poisonous dart frog paid the dealer a token just to take photos or a spin (which happens alot), gullible fans will gobble it up.

Wizkid is worth billions but pays rent for a house worth 60m at most. Why not just buy the house? He bought a N100m wristwatch but lives in a rented house.

I dunno which specie of zombies are worse - Buhari's or Wizkid/Davido's.

you belong to the underworld. David usually buys his stuff 100% forget family wealth. I guess you are not following him up enough coz he has already said it after announcing that he made half a billion @30billion concert. So cross your fingers, the beast will land at Nigerian shores soon.

also people should learn to follow the people called "whales" on steemit...whales is like a term used to describe steemit members that have high voting value and some of them have voting value that can be up to 200$ just for their single vote on any post....in other words if you create a post and a whale likes that post you can earn up to 200$ just from that single "vote"so how can you get the attention of the whales ??you can use different methods,first of all follow them on steemit and probably they might follow you back and when they follow you back your posts will be appearing on their "feed" and if they like your post they probably are going to like it and you make money....but incase if they don't follow you back don't Be bothered what you just have to do is that whenever they create a post learn to comment on their posts or vote their posts even though your own vote might not have more than a value of 0.01 but you are noticed and many of them are tempted to "vote" your comment,and do you know that on steemit both normal posts and comments are still regarded as posts...so the way you are paid on an article you posted is the same way you can be paid on a comment you make...so you can also make more money from writing comments on other people posts and always don't be shy to request for a follow back even from the whales too....and for your information posts with pictures tend to get more visibility on steemit so when next you want to post an article please learn to add pictures to the post....and to those guys that love memes do you know that there are tags for memes on steem it....you can make money by creating memes and posting it on steemit ...use the tag "meme" when you want to post a meme....

how can we identify this whales

OP doyinissac are you in support of the whatsapp group or it should not be attended to. I'm humbly following your lead on this thread..
