While I was serving in Akure I remember a mother and child infested with myiasis

I still haven't forgiven you for the badmouth of my profession in your nairaland diary

É ma pele kee

The fact that you equate auxiliary to RN shows how unintelligent you are.
RN holders only and universities graduates are all RN holder. We all wrote same qualifying exam.
Those you called auxiliaries are quacks. You don't learn nursing in few weeks.
You must either be one of those doctors hating on the progress of the nursing profession or just some random uneducated literate littering this country. In any case, get educated. You sound too dumb.
Don't ever place any RN and quack(d ones u called auxiliary) in same sentence again. I can't help your stupid.
If you haven't attended a university or school of nursing, you aren't a nurse but a cheap quack
Don't cry foul if you get killed by those "auxiliary" you so worship.

Take it easy na, omo Nigerians dey provoke o

Correct with love, not with insults

HitlerGaddafi:
That's the bitter truth.. getting a degree just gives an edge over the RN and even auxiliary nurses coz fact is they do basically the same thing. A nursing degree holder has the license to open a hospital or clinic while a RN or auxiliary cannot. Anything asides that, I feel they just went to university to spend unnecessary five years studying things that just require a few weeks of training and you're good to go.

I don't think they have the license to open a hospital o

But they can open a clinic, and maternity if they are double qualified

A clinic to treat only the basic illnesses, give safe mother/child counselling, family planning services, etc

Dozis:
Lol,
Flagyl is a terrorist, I don't take it, I normally use Secnidazole, it's just four tablets at once and I'm done, no need for Flagyl.

Yes secnidazole is a lifesaver, 2gm stat

Nice one baba, you're doing well

Dozis:
To avoid stories, just use water.

Bros, I can never take flagyl with water o

That drug is bitter meehn

yunqdady:
Doctors like u enabled quackery. Using A lab tech to run the lab, using a pharm tech to run pharmacy, using chews and quacks to run nursing services, using male nurses to pose as doctors and etc
Then come out to brag about how the quacks are better and respectful than the legally trained professionals.

Na you sabi (lol)

I don't support quackery shaa

missidy:
I thought a school of nursing is under a university? I believe school of nursing is a qualified institution so far as you completed 4 years there and you are awarded a degree.

A school of nursing is different from a university

They award a diploma

The VIGOROUS training is just 3yrs

And you would be registered under the nursing council

bigpicture001:
U don't get it... Doctors MUST pay attention to the management course they are taught in skl.. they ruined even themselves by not passing the causes in flying colors....

They taughts it's me dey are doing... Mumu sef of people...

Dts y govt is playing with them..... They don't have sense at all...

Sadly, you're very right

That's because the management course is just one lecture out of hundreds of clinical lectures

And we shouldn't forget that it's even our elders in the profession that started training quacks for their selfish gains

Such a sad state we are in now

absingle:
There lot of quack doctors in lasuth I lost my mom due to quack doctor three month ago am still in pain

Quack doctor in LASUTH?? Okay I

Condolences tho

missidy:
Honestly this is a big problem in this country, one of the reasons I'm scared of having a child in this country cos most hospitals are filled with quack nurses. My grandma was one of such nurses that didn't go to school but learnt in the hospital, she is very lucky no child died in her care as she was a delivery nurse. Ask her anything about drugs or child development, she will give wrong answers. I saw a thread where a doctor said his family didn't want him to marry his illiterate fiance, people were advising him to send her to a hospital to train as an auxiliary nurse. I was shocked, I weep for this country. If she kills someone now, they will be the same people to cry.

Nobody should be called a nurse except the person went to the university and acquired a bsc nursing degree. No wonder the health care system is a mess.

@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

bigpicture001:
The doctors especially caused all this happenings....

They chase patients away with too much profiteering in the hospital management..

Abeg what ever u folks in d field like say, the people have made thier choices...

A doctor must eat

Wick3:
You are a good man. Funny thing is these patients will still argue with you. They will be like "what does an ordinary pharmacist know?"

Those are more annoying

They don't know that even doctors make mistakes

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.

Only if we had more pharmacists like you, health care in Nigeria would improve

Quacks are just out and about, you will see male J-CHEW claiming to be a doctor, auxiliary nurses performing D&C with dirty instruments

In fact ehhnnnn

The cadet slapping the civilian and the students pelting the cadets, all because of Pucci

All of them are very mad

Nonsense, so it's only medicine that's subsidised?
How much does it cost to study Engineering, Art courses in Nigeria compared to USA?
Why singling out only doctors? U should rather state that all university graduates should not be allowed to leave the country, so that sounds any sensible to u?

Oil dey your head jare
