Was there pen in 1980?

Nigerians are blessed

A nursing student has won a national award for her work on a clinical trial.

Oxford Brookes student Cynthia Okoli studied the use of ketamine as a treatment for severe depression while on a research placement.

The Mental Health Student Hybrid (MESH) placement forms part of her MSc in mental health nursing.

She said she was "so excited" about winning the Most Engaged MESH student award, and will attend a ceremony in London later this month.

Ms Okoli moved to the UK from Nigeria, originally expecting to study business administration.

But she was inspired to switch to nursing after working as a part-time support worker on mental health wards and comparing the mental health provision in the UK to that in Nigeria.

"In Nigeria there is little provision for mental health and still a stigma around it," Ms Okoli said.

She was also inspired by the time she spent with a patient who had alopecia, who was "really excited" to see how Ms Okoli wore wigs to "experiment with different looks and styles".

"She helped me see how we can help people," said Ms Okoli.
The MESH programme is a pilot scheme run by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), which aims to provide nursing students with research experience while they carry out their clinical placements.

Ms Okoli said she was involved in screening participants as well as being "involved fully" in all of the research processes.

"I’m so excited about winning this award," she said.

"It shows I made the right decision and I'm passionate about research into mental health and about becoming a mental health nurse."

The Student Nursing Times Awards ceremony takes place in London on 26 April.

OMG... people are evil.

malvisguy212:
there are many ways God can used to fight your battle. just take for example the wall of Jericho. the gentiles nations gather to fight Israel, but what happened next? God intervene and they end up fighting themselves.

Why is it not happening now?

Meanwhile some people are waiting for the God of Israel to fight thier battle when Israel is fighting thiers themselves with sophisticated technology and weapons.

Those kids does not have capacity, as a result you can't force or impose religion on them.

Technology

Nigerians should make sure those officers are sacked and prosecuted.

SayGod:
OGBENI nothing like selective justice..... ALLL MAN dun deface, disgrace, render useless, infact swear for naira

idris case different, you cannot be gay and noisy in this country...... NEVER!!!!!!

Then why not prosecute him for being gay and noisy?

The before and after of bobrisky in six months will be funny.

May her souk continue to rest in peace. She has brought the governor's attention to her family.

Selective justice is injustice. Bobrisky was just witch hunted on the basis of defacing the Naira - an offence that thousands of elites commit on daily basis.

So VP will be chased out of Aso Rock?

From the post, there is no evidence that he killed himself. The death could be caused by something else.

And all these deaths are avoidable.

Please let there be no loss of life.

This is serious

Let Love Lead

Yet, no investigation on how he escaped and officers that aided his escape.

Football is played with your legs.

This is a serious country

AI is taking over the world.

That nurse should be sacked.

Congratulations to her... She is too good and bright to be in Nigeria. Her talent and life will be valued most abroad.

How does this affect Nigerians ?

He will be kept in a special separate room...

Very soon Niger Republic will be fighting for independence.
