No doubt, the high rate of unemployment and under employment in Nigeria is changing the mindset of the Nigerian youths, especially those that graduated from higher institutions.

This was evidenced by a text that was inscribed on the T-shirt of a student of Imo state University, who took his final exam today.

The young man expressed his feeling of despair in the prospects of tertiary education by writing "If I do masters, make I bend" on the T-shirt he wore on his graduation day.
That singular gesture caught the attention of many students, thus the young man from the department of History and International Studies became a sensation on his graduation day.

It's understandable when nursery, primary and secondary school children are restricted from going back to school, but restricting undergraduates (adults that can keep up with the prescribed social distancing and aseptic measures) from going back to school shows that this country is worse be than a joke.

Final year students and those that were supposed to take professional exams are stucked and this has greatly contributed to the rise in depression among undergraduates.

If Buhari led Federal government doesn't want schools to reopen, they should endeavor to approach the senate for the approval of a mechanism that will give some academic waiver to undergraduates.

Your quite funny dear.I think you should refrain your question. Everyone must not have the drive to share experiences online. If you have any questions though I could provide answers.

Ok chief.. can I PM you?

If a non science 1st degree could do masters in nursing, why shouldn't MBBS be able to do so?

Haa... It's obvious you are ignorant of how the Australia nursing curriculum is structured and what it takes for even a foreign trained nurse to practice in Australia.
Nigeria trained nurses are not even recognized by the Australia regulatory body, they enroll for a "bridge program" in order to fill up the training vacuum created by the Nigeria nursing curriculum.

My post was aimed at objectively giving an answer to the question the brother raised. But since you have chosen the part of antagonism based on emotions, I will leave you to the mercy of the hearsays that occupied your mind.

Please guys.
I need your candid advise.
I'm a medical doctor wanting to do Masters in Australia.
I'd like to know if masters in nursing is a good idea cos I heard they have more job opportunities.
And if I'm thru with Masters in nursing can I be a registered nurse.
Also can I stay in Australia for years to work even without been a permanent resident long after my studies.
Thanks in advance.

Lol.. Masters degree in nursing with MBBS?

Baba you are a doctor naa and not a nurse, so you can't encrouch into the nursing profession like that.
Before you talk about any thing concerning masters in nursing, you must be talking about specialties like psychiatric nursing, peri operative nursing, paediatric nursing, intensive Care Nursing, Anaesthetic nursing, etc.

Which means you must be a nurse (a general practitioner) before talking about specialization (through the masters route)

When you hear most people suddenly mentioning that they diverted from medicine to nursing on arrival abroad, they went into the semi skilled care job popular known as "Certified Nurse Assistant" (CNA).
The CNA over there are the foreign version of the ward orderlies we have here in Nigeria (those people on blue in the hospitals that do the cleaning jobs etc)

The CNA's are answerable to and work under the supervision of registered nurses. They run errands for the real nurses.

If you want to be a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA), use that your MBBS to apply for a masters degree program in public health which is open to all professions in the health sector (you can research more on this)

On arrival in Australia, enroll for the CNA program and run it concurrently with your masters. I learnt that it takes 6 months or less. Then you can start from there pending when you will get better options maybe as a public health officer but not as a doctor. Good luck!

I'm a registered nurse with the intention of practicing in Ireland.
I have searched the nairaland travel section severally for first hand informations from Nigerian nurses practicing in Ireland, but I saw none.
Does it mean the nurses in Ireland don't know about Nairaland?

Please if you are a nurse working in Ireland, please do well to enlighten us on what is obtainable in Ireland, viz;
•The process of registration,
•The working conditions,
•The benefits of working in Ireland, compared to UK, USA and Australia and,
•Your regrets.

I'm yet to read the experiences of Nigeria nurses working in Ireland.
