It is an axiomatic fact that 'practicing' Christians should live what they preach, the economic state of the country regardless.

I've a friend whose friend is a practicing Christian by some measurable standards. However, this fellow has worked as a receptionist(of course with so much tales) and recently is working as a secretary in an alcohol outlet.

My question is, should Christians work in and or at such unwholesome establishment?

I am the most senior doctor in the hospital at night, looking after the sickest children in the country
I have been qualified for 13 years and have given up so much for my career
I went to medical school in Oxford in 1996 and qualified in 2002, before the European working time directive (EWTD) came into force. I worked in east London, in an underfunded hospital in a deprived area. It was common to work over 100 hours a week. Our weekend shifts began at 7am on Friday and finished at 6pm on Monday. It wasn’t safe for the patients and it wasn’t safe for me. I chose paediatrics as a specialty, and quickly found that, in order to reduce hours in line with EWTD regulations, we moved on to punishing shift systems. For example, as a junior working in the neonatal intensive care unit at King’s College hospital in 2004, I worked seven 15-hour night shifts on the trot. I nearly crashed my car driving home on more than one occasion.


I passed all my professional exams (at a cost of £1,500, not including the necessary courses and books) at first attempt. After specialist training in paediatrics, I decided that I definitely wanted to train as an intensivist. The best training in the world is in the US, and I competed against a large number of highly-qualified American doctors to be offered a three-year fellowship in Harvard. This required me to take my USMLE (the medical licensing exam for the US) at a cost of about £3,000. I took a large pay cut in the US and had to live separately from my husband. At the end of my three years in Boston, I was offered a consultant post at the best children’s hospital in the US. I turned it down. I wanted to come back to the NHS.

I now work as a senior fellow on the cardiac intensive care unit at Great Ormond Street hospital. I look after children who have had major heart surgery, as well as those so sick they have to be on a form of heart-lung bypass or artificial hearts. I am 37 years old. I have been qualified for more than 13 years. I am still “junior”. I postponed having children until I was in my mid-30s in deference to my career. Partially as a consequence of my age, I have now had multiple miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. I asked to go part-time and my request was refused due to “service requirements”. I work at the maximally antisocial hours that the ETWD allows. I am the most senior doctor in the hospital at night, looking after the sickest children in the country. Jeremy Hunt would like to cut my salary (by an undefined amount, and this will be non-negotiable). He would like to remove the limits on my hours. I have a mortgage. I have a family. How am I supposed to plan for the future?


New junior doctors' contract changes everything I signed up for

I am far from work-shy. I believe in seven-day emergency care of the highest quality. But here’s the thing: loyalty will not be rewarded. As a mass exodus of juniors occurs to the antipodes and Canada, the remainder will be left to pick up the pieces. We will be paid less, work more, and the care we provide will, by necessity, be of a lower quality. Morale is at the lowest I have seen in it my career across all sectors.


Why on earth shouldn’t I return to the US? My colleagues who graduated below me in my class are all earning a minimum of US$200,000 a year. They work fewer hours, have protected research time and pleasant working conditions. I love my job, but as a highly-trained and competent professional, I won’t accept the terms being imposed by Hunt. And the NHS will lose yet another dedicated staff member.

I understand your hectic schedule. But here in Nigeria, it is hard to get into internship program not to talk of residency program. Everything here depends on who you know.

I just graduated from a medical school here in Nigeria and yet to start my internship program. I've written some exams, passed the written interview and called up for oral interview. I sincerely think I did well in the orals but yet placement for internship has so far eluded me.

I hope to practice in the US, UK or any other country with good medical standards. I just may need your assistance with usmle and stuffs like that.

My candid advice!

Pls, as a lady, your genitals are closer to your anus than guys. When you wash after poo, chances are that traces of feces can enter there especially when you splash water. This is one of the know causes of UTI because the to your bladder and rest of the urinary system lies within your outer genital area.. This together with other form of irritation to your genitals is why you are advised to wipe from front to back.

For health reasons, if you must wash, wipe first in order to reduce the fecal load. Especially for ladies

You still don't get the thrust of this thread. After doing all this, youll have a perfect child who will only will only as he's been taught. Never straying from the path set. No initiative. No adventure. Just doing what mummy says. People should be careful what they wish for.

I don't get ur point?

This is in response to the ingrained and hovering tension amongst Nigerian parents(Damilola Attoh, a prototype), guardians, teachers and wards on who should or shouldn't mettle out punishment even to an apparently erring child.


The ancient axiomatic believe(@least in Africa) is that the 'child' belongs to the entire community and punishing a child invariably and likewise.

Below are tips for parents, teachers, guardians and siblings to help avoid the temptation of beating that 'annoying' child silly.


1. Cultivate self-care rituals and treat yourself with kindness.

The more we take care of ourselves, the more worthy we feel of having our needs met and our boundaries respected. When we feel tired and have no energy, it is much harder to deal with our children outbursts. Plus: the better we feel about ourselves, the less we feel guilty about making "mistakes" or "not doing things right."


2. Honor your own boundaries.

If children cross our boundaries too far, or too frequently, it's often because we let them. But we will eventually lose our patience, so remember that. However, as guadians or whatever we represent, affirming healthy boundaries is our job. Loving children doesn't mean that we have to give them what they want all the time. And sticking to your guns will ultimately prevent tantrums in the future.


3. Have age-appropriate expectations.

When we take children to public places, we simply cannot expect them to behave like adults. A young child won't sit still for an hour in a restaurant, a church or wherever like a grown adult.
While it's great to want to go out with children, we must also remember that they are allowed to have their own experience. So we must commit to trying our best not to feel embarrassed, offended or guilty about their reactions. When we let go of these unrealistic expectations, we give ourselves freedom to have a much more enjoyable experience ourselves.


4. Don't project your fears.

When we worry about children's misbehavior and fear that they might be aggressive in a given context, children will pick up on this energy, and will likely stick those labels on themselves. If a child starts to think that he/she is "bad," that often leads to more misbehavior.


5. Heal your own inner child.

Children can trigger unresolved emotions in us, causing us to feel hurt and frustrated, perhaps about our own childhood experiences or current difficulties elsewhere in our lives.
Children can also reflect those unresolved feelings when they pick up on them. So embrace the parts of you that are still hurting. Acknowledge and accept your own feelings from or about your past without judgment and give that child in you all the love and validation it never got, or that it currently needs.


6. Manage your anger

During a moment in which you feel calm and balanced, choose a physical stimulus like pressing your thumb and middle finger together or any other stimulus that works for you. This effectively helps you control your anger as you repeat it during your trying moments or when that child is on your last nerve seemingly asking for a beating.


7. Release guilt.

Guilt and shame are the lowest vibrational emotions a human can experience. Guilt not only keeps us from feeling self-compassion, but often leads to crossing boundaries to "make up" for whatever we think we did wrong. Remember that parenting is a process. At every moment, you're doing the best you can and are always learning and improving.


8. Make sure to spend quality time together.

Attention is a basic need for children to survive. When children have emotional outbursts, it's often a sign of their desire to show us they are trying to define themselves, develop their individuality — and get attention.
Many times an emotional outburst is actually a reflection of a child experiencing more freedom than he/she can handle. They want to feel safe by our loving guidance in the form of healthy boundaries.
The most beautiful way to give this to our children is in special, quality moments when we are not distracted and 100% present. Children don't need us to be physically present all the time. But quality time is invaluable for our children.
# Feeling consistently loved and cared for will diminish their need to act out.


9. Allow time for free and uninterrupted exploration.

When children's needs for safety and attention are met, they will also undoubtedly express a desire to get out and explore the world. Exploration helps them observe new things in their surroundings, get to know their bodies and stay connected to their innate curiosity. Self-guided exploration will improve their attention span and let them express creativity and joy.


10. Make your child feel understood.

No matter how "childish" a child's desire or emotion might seem to us in a given moment, it's perfectly valid for him or her to feel this way, no matter what it is, really. We don't have to comply with their "demands," but we can still acknowledge what they're feeling:


11. Allow time to adjust to a change in activity.

Sudden changes can trigger children into resistance. Especially with sensitive children, it works really well if we give them time to adjust to a coming change. Take bed time, for example: give your child a few "heads up" notices that bed time is nearing. "You can play for another 10 minutes, and then we're going to bed," Repeat that when there's five minutes and one minute left.
Really Absolutely!


12. Respect your child as a whole person.

Children might live in tiny bodies, just learning how to deal with everything that makes us human while still needing us for their basic survival. But they are also whole persons with very capable and knowing souls that have multiple levels of understanding. So talk respectfully to your child as if you would to an adult: use your normal voice and refer to yourself as "I" instead of "mommy, teacher, daddy etc"


13.Honor the integrity of your child's body.

Always tell your child when you're going to pick him/her up or touch him/her. You can start doing this even when they are babies: "I am going to pick you up now. One, two, three, there you go." Children will be less startled if they know what's coming.
When playing with children, honor their "no," if they want to stop.
Boundaries are important for children, too. This won't guarantee that every person will listen but children with this healthy mindset about their body are much less prone to become a victim of abuse or other inappropriate dynamics.


14. Ask for help.

Don't be ashamed if you feel things are getting too much for you. Ask for help. Tell your partner when you're having a hard time, find a babysitter or parenting counselor, seek support from other parents, learn new ways of parenting that will make it more easy and enjoyable for you. You are never alone. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness: it is a brave thing to do.

Obinoscopy:
I have no beefs against the medics. I'm a pharmacist. I did internship myself.

However it's my love for my profession that made me insist that internship slots be made competitive. The beauty of a competitive atmosphere is that it brings out the best in people.

I'm totally in support of exams for intending internees.This will make each medical school ensure that they churn out qualified medical graduates that will not disgrace them when seeking internship offers or any other offer for that matter.

If only the conduction of such exams were fair, no one would be complaining.
Do you know what it feels like preparing for an exam you know will probably have no effect on your chances. Your so-called colleagues stick to your face. They tell you where, how and to whom they've submitted letters and money.

It is indeed discouraging

Obinoscopy:
It seems you didn't get me. Less than 20% of us who applied for NAUTH got it. In that of Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu that I didn't get, only 5% of those who applied got it. That of FMC Owerri was worse (although I didn't go because I was oblivious of the interview but was told by my colleagues that went).

It took some of my colleagues over a year to get a placement. It took me close to 3 months or thereabout. So don't think that your generation is being maltreated. My sister is an intern at the moment so I'm in tune with you guys. You are not alone

I still maintain that something has to give. Place or Time. If Time is of priority to you, then spread your search to all the geopolitical zones within the country,

I'm tempted to ask.....did you get yours on merit or did you work round it?
Pls b sincere!

[quote author=Squad4 post=39000332]Go home to see them and relax a bit, then get a move on. Seek out opportunities try to get your first job, the pay is not important at this point...one thing i can advise is to find a private company that are into a field you have interest, offer to work free that you just need the experience, be passionate about your proposal. Trust me you will get in they would be forced to give you a stipend for transport and then work diligently, if something comes out, you will be the first person on the list to be considered and at the same time, your CV will read you are currently employed and in a good industry which will help you with other job applications.


Thank you so much! GBU abundantly. You just made my day.

No disrespect to 'em ladies; just irritated.

Recently, on countless occasion, ladies keep falling prey to this over-rated illusion, "marriage"

# I know a lot of friend's friends who are currently pregnant and leaving with a guy. Married? You bet.

# A lady apparently willing to get pregnant; a prerequisite the guy presented before he can propose.

# A lady physically abused, yet willing to stay put and craving to hear those words, "will you marry me". Why? Biological clock is ticking.

I really don't blame anyone but the parents and our culture. From day one, these people prepare and mount pressure on young girls, allegedly preparing for marriage.

It is an axiomatic fact that only the female folk bear the illustrious title Chief (Mrs), Dr. (Mrs), Engineer(Mrs) and even Magistrate(Mrs). Mrs. Somebody(unfortunately, who? matters less). Have you ever seen Dr.(Mr) and stuffs like that.

Sit close to a lady for 10 minutes, check well, 9 minutes must have been spent discussing marriage related issues.

Tell me why they won't be gullible to the ever ambitious Naija guys who use these ladies as pawn.

Take your pick, he either dupes you or uses you. N. B, there are good men out there.. .oh!

Ladies, guys are getting smart, you really have to gird your loins

Don't get it twisted, marriage is a beautiful thing only when the key fits the lock. This only happens in the context of finding the right partner. The supposed 'missing rib'.

#fact# You were happy before marriage, don't ever throw that away because you want to be addressed and seen as a married lady.

What baffles me is when people keep saying there's no job. There are jobs.The only impediment is that how can I a whole graduate be selling bread, akara, purewater, gala,lacasera, cake,bons, chinchin, meatpie..The list is inexhaustive.
Yet there is money atleast 20-40k/month in most of these businesses.
Its far better than working in these companies and being paid 10-15k with hard labour!
I have been there.

I sincerely thank the OP and will start anything I can lay my hands on; till God provides.

The memories you make at your university will be like none other.
The friends you make will, more often than not, remain with you for a lifetime. We make most of our friends on the first day itself, because the people we sit with and hang out with initially tend to stick around. So, it is essential that you select your friends wisely and know the kind of people to avoid.

Check out the seven kinds of people you should definitely avoid.

1.The spoilt brat:

There is always at least one brat in each class. They usually have rich parents and may not need to depend on good grades like you do. Their lifestyle will be something you may not be able to cope with. Unless they’re nice and friendly, you might want to avoid them.
2.The tribalist:

There will be people who might hate others because of their tribe or religion. Stay far away from such people. It is also a good idea to voice your displeasure about them.

3.The loner:

You don’t have to “help” these people. They usually like being left alone. Don’t change that in a wave of pity.

4.The creep:

There always is one in all walks of life. Don’t be rude outright, but remember to stay away.

5.The immature child:

There’s always that one kid who laughs at the lamest jokes and says silly, childish things. It’s best to avoid such people as it doesn’t take long for them to become extremely annoying.

6.The nerd:

Yes, they may help in the short-term with notes and assignments. But establishing a long term relationship with them might be annoying if you don’t share the same attitude towards studies.

7.The snob:

We live in a culture where good-looking, selfish and snobbish equals popular. Whether you’re a guy or a girl, it’s best to avoid such people, because they love attention and won’t value you

Boarding school experience is unlike any other. While you don’t live with your parents and have a daily cut-off limit, you swing between the pendulum of freedom and discipline, practically everyday in a boarding school.

1. You still make your bed each morning

You’ve mastered the art of sliding out of the bed in a way that you leave no wrinkle on the bed sheet.

2. You hunt for a register to sign in when leaving your campus

Signing the register at the gate whenever you enter and leave the school became habit, and you still search for it sometimes. Aargh, boarding school discipline!

3. You have friends from across the country

You know every state in an out, all thanks to your variety of friends.

4. You never locked your room door

Locking the door? What’s that?

5. Showering is a friendly activity with your fellow mates

You never shopped for body wash or loofa or soap, your friend had it.

6. You’re comfortable with long hours outside home

You feel like a boss on the roads at night.

7. You have a special bond with your roommate

Your roommate apparently became your soul mate at boarding school.

8. You are extremely paranoid

When the senior students flog you for even an innocuous statement, you can help it but think people are after you.

9. You use little water regardless

For some of us, it has always been rub and shine. You get to fetch enough water only for a small boy who unfortunately entered school before.
