I respect thepeople who went to schools of nusing, you are taught how to be a nurse in theory and practice, not those univeristy nurses who just go and get certificates, they can't even put drip or dress a wound.

Pathetic end time sadist

Rubbish there is no place of internship in nursing. 5 years of nursing BSc is useless, when people do it for 3 years in the UK or other African countries. Most of those 5 years are spent on the ward. Internship is only ask for to collect money.

Yes, a nurse can't handle a comatose patient by himself.

Which single health practitioner can handle a comatose patient all by himself? I Have requested for you to reread the post but you wouldn't. In patient management, there is this thing called "team work" and competency of every member on the team is expected to be optimal for effective management. Please nobody is talking about a member of the team working alone. Do you even know what the bone of contention is in this case or you just delight in getting noticed by hitting the keyboard to type the first thing that comes to your mind without proper processing of the subject matter?

I blame myself for dignifying you by responding to your posts

Hilaskee:
There is nothing wrong with that statement at all. It's simply a metaphorical expression of a point he is trying to make. Nurses, please ask literally giants, they will explain more...

The statement becomes direct n derogatory when he mentioned doctors n pharmacists, then likened Metuh to a Nurse which by implication is not competent to manage the situation, maybe you should reread it

Still baffles me how some folks will take what Sen. Ndume said as mere joke, even comedians after cracking certain jokes are asked to swallow their words when the cross certain boundaries, even though it's their job to Crack jokes and make people laugh.
The Sen. insulted the nursing profession which he might have done unknowingly, asking for an apology is giving him the opportunity to set the record straight, I wonder why that is too difficult for some of us to comprehend, moreover none of us commenting here is the senator's mouthpiece so why not allow him to respond first?
He is even lucky that only Nigerian nurses are coming for him now, he should do the needful ASAP and let it serve as a warning to those that will want to drag the noble profession into their political drama in the future.
What the profession needs in Nigeria is a face-lift and good publicity and not a derogatory statement from an honorable member of the hollowed chamber, the Sen. should know better.
Rooting for Nursing since time immemorial.

Thanks OP for bringing this topic forward. These auxiliary nursing ish is indeed a menace.
Be informed that no matter how Drs want to sugar coat it, these mostly illiterates or semi- literate people are actually quacks. The auxiliary nursing training is no recognised in Nigeria and certainly not the way Drs are going about it.
They train illiterates some who can barely even speak good eng in some basic nursing skills, forgetting nursing isn't just about giving injections. These quacks perform the duties of qualified nurses in most private hospitals in Nigeria all in a bid of some Drs to maximize profit by paying them peanuts at the detriment of t's health, not minding the harm these pple can cause to lives. They do not av rationale for what they do, they just know the Dr said they shld do it this way and they follow suit.
And since in Nigeria anything goes, we are almost lawless, they get away with it. Some of these quacks go as far as establishing hospitals even conducting operations, deliveries, circumcision, treatment of ignorant Nigerians. A friend of mine bro almost lost his hand to a quack few years back.
But who do I blame the most? It's definitely the govt and NMCN. Why shld NMCN continue watching Drs do somethn they can't condone in their profession to our profession, they scream to the high heavens abt quack Drs, while they are the ones propagating quackery. Is a quack nurse any less deadly than a quack Dr? And at the end of the day these quacks even go on to practice as quack Drs

They are not just training and employing them (quacks) to maximize profit but to hide their malpractice and negligence. This is so because such Dr already has a nonentity that knows nothing to push the blame to when he/she commits medical blunders, also when the Dr wants to do anything unethical (e.g illegal abortion) the quack must play along cos she lacks the moral ground or rights to vent any professional opinion, after all she has no profession. Such employee can be fired, used as a Nurse, cleaner, receptionist, electrician, security, sex object etc by the employer (Dr) cos her presence there was founded on illegality, her papers (qualification) are fake, can't be a member of nursing association or any trade Union, can't approach the judiciary cos "he who goes to equity must go with clean hands", the quack is just a sitting duck for the employer to use as he/she deems fit.
If you see a facility that engages in training and/or employing those quacks, no one needs to tell you the minds of the doctors or owner(s) of such a facility. Demand for the licence or registration status of the white dressed being attending to you where you are assessing Healthcare be it a government or private owned facility.

#SayNo2quacksLifeHasNoDuplicate

Making derogatory jokes about a noble profession (nursing) in order to score few cheap political points makes Sen. Ndume a complete educated buffoon.

Sunnyb0b0 " Op, auxiliary nurses are not quack as long as they work
within the limit of their competencies as set by regulatory
bodies. They become quacks when they assume the duties
of Registered Nurses just like some Nurses who assume
duties of Medical doctors"

When you lack knowledge, please ask for enlightenment instead of writing beautiful nonsense. There is nothing like "auxiliary nurses" in the Nursing and Midwifery Council establishment act 1988, it's either you are a registered nurse with the Council or you are a quack. How can you delegate duties to someone that has no jurisdiction at all before you judge competency?
Medical Nurses posing as medical doctors are practicing quackery in the field, likewise your so-called "auxiliary nurses" posing as nurses in any capacity.
It is either you are Nurse or you are a quack going by the laws of our land.

Just few days ago a Nurse and her daughter were killed by stray bullets following bank robbery in festac, Lagos state.
Now this, what's really going on??
