very lucrative. But there are nurses and there are nurses. The one with degree, those are the real nurses, the ones from nursing school. Those ones are local nurses. Which one hath thou?

what!!! school of nursing?local nurses,what are you saying?what makes them local? .

CFCman:

Lol.
Nurses (RNs) can earn up to $60,000/year or higher, depending on the state/city of residence.
LVNs start at $12/hr

LVN or do you mean LPN? And there is no nurse in the US that earns $12 an hour. Even some people who do baby sitting jobs earn more than $12, so how can a nurse be earning $12. RNs earn as from $25 up. nursing is a great career choice in the US

You make a killing in the states $30 an hour go first and if you could work hard you take home close to 2 grand a week after taxes

That dark nurse at the back in the picture, her hand would be very painful for injection.
I just know it

You are well paid in abroad . I know two people that didn't study nursing in Nigeria but as soon as they went abroad they studied it and they are doing very well.

Obviously from your post above,you re either a nurse with degree or probably u re just a person that is more grounded on what people say around you,without you examining ur resolution.
It's so funny when u regard a nurse that attends school of nursing as a local nurse but you av failed to recognise the fact that this school of nursing nurses are:
1. More practically oriented compared to the university nurses
2. Much more sought after in oversea countries than the university nurses
3.This school of nurses are mostly the ones the graduate nurses run after during their clinical rotations while in training and while practising to cover their flops.
Actually,I can't blame people like you because,the system values theory more than practical.
How many clinical hours do the so called graduate nurse have?,u can bet it with me that its not up to the numberof theory hours,that's why many patients are dying in our hospitals ,since we have neglected praticals and we re jumping into the book oriented nursing that produced people like you
So please don't refer to them as local nurse,they just decided to choose that pathway for their nursing licensure or u tell me what the essence of a bnsc degree in nursing is without you passing the nursing council exams and both the "local" and the graduate nurse do sit for the exams to attain a smiliar qualification to practise

You came online, typed all that BS just to insult your teachers/lecturers with your stvpid ideology?

Same mentality that has kept the nursing profession stagnated for donkey years in the health sector. With your kind of thinking, one can conclude that hospital based trained quacks parading as nurses are the best since they have all their training in the hospital blending it with practicals #pleaseRecieveCommonSense

If you are a registered nurse from a school of nursing you better go back to school and get your first degree (and possibly develop to PhD etc) peacefully so that you can proceed to the peak while upholding professionalism in Nursing as obtainable in other professions.
"A word they said is wise enough"

Bad and wicked nursing leaders tarnishing the image of nurses in Nigeria. How can someone who just finished from a school of nursing make it to US to work and top Up the degree

Nursing school local? have any idea how they paying currently now in those nursing colleges in Naija? ..tuition fees now starts with nothing less than N150,000k per year in few colleges and some are more expensive.

chuksbogus2001:
Nursing is a noble profession a call to serve humanity and it will also put food on your table.i mean real food. when you are employed the same day with an accountant in the hospital u will pay the accountant with your salary and have balance well cos of the allowances like ,teaching,and shift allowance .if you progress to the peak you can make up to 600 to 650k in a month.its a profession u cant say u wont see employment but will only be talking about how big the pay is. if you happen to specialize in area where nurses are not much u will be a hot cake and will be the one negotiating ur salary especially to private hospitals.areas like ,anaesthetist,cardiothoracic,occupational health nursing.

Very noble post. From those ive seen here
.Nurses are buying bond houses, brand cars chacha,going on vacation abroad o.
Only the ignorant or those with limited knowledge do not understand the importance and benefits that goes Nursing.

I love those people die and can defend them anywhere.

However i pray the demand for change in uniform with the global trend pull through for Nigerian Nurses.
See Nurses uniform for RN/PN Nurse, Staff Nurses and Student Nurses here. Smart and very attractive. That student nursing picture with page band over white uniform and the very old head band no be am...haba...too archaic.

Saying that nursing school graduates are more sought after than degree holders abroad is a huge misconception and a white lie. Infact the minimum entry requirements for nurses now is a degree

gunpoint:

Unless you have a path to leaving the country, not advisable.
Nursing is near useless in Nigeria.
But if you ever move overseas, with short conversion courses, you will be minting money with it

What evidence do you have to back up your strong statements? It's true that a good number of nigerian nurses struggle financially as is common in most workers, however that does not mean that nursing does not pay. I worked as a nurse in Lagos for about five years and was making more money than many people thought was possible, it all depends on where you work. I once went for an interview where the start pay for nurses was over 500k and there are lots of places like that around.

U
Thank u.. at least d local nurses get 80% Nd and in dia licensing exams while d so called real nurses struggle with their 20-40% success rate, talk abt realness !!

Get your BnSc after your RN as this dichotomy won't help anybody.
Whether they know it or not, babe, with time they will be well grounded in both theory and practicals and RNs will still be called their assistants according to FG while they go home with heavy pockets.

Honestly, the mentality makes a sincere somebody to cringe with shame.
We have been stagnated for long because of this mentality, they calls themselves professionals but regards their job as a vocation. Isn't it worrisome?


Nurses upgrade please.

Your sister is obviously a certified nursing assistant or license practical nurse not an RN.

Bad and wicked nursing leaders tarnishing the image of nurses in Nigeria. How can someone who just finished from a school of nursing make it to US to work and top Up the degree

Y wont they

Let me school those feeding others with lies about degree nurses. The degree program formally called Bachelor of Nursing Science (B.N.Sc) has a one year practically oriented internship program imbedded in its curriculum to cover any lapse in the practical development of graduates of the program. For reasons best known to whom it may concern, graduates of the BNSc are chunked out into the labour market without going for this internship.
Every profession has its ups and downs and nursing is not an exception to this reality.The prayer of every progressive nurse or nursing sympathizer is for the full implementation of the BNSc program (internship inclusive) so that we all can have the nursing of our dream in Nigeria. Yes, it's not easy for any sane mind (nurse) who is progress loving to be at peace with the state of the profession today, I know nursing will get it right soon cos the handwriting on the wall is bold enough for all to understand the message.

Some days back, someone tried to educate us on NL on the differences between a career and a job. So, OP both career and job abound in nursing. Your greatest frustration would be felt when you pursue a career in nursing cos thousands of nurses fighting tooth and nail to convince you that "black is white" litter everywhere you turn to in Naija, to make it worse, they will tell you that black doesn't exist and has never existed.

Truth is, nursing is beginning to get it right after a very long slumber and some of the best things that would happen to nursing in Nigeria are:
1) The implementation of internship program for BNSc graduates.
2) Complete affiliation of all Schools of Nursing to Departments of Nursing in the Universities.
3) Conversion of all Post Basic Specialties to Post Graduate Specialties in nursing (ie who specializes with an equivalent of a diploma certificate and wants to be called or treated as a specialist/consultant/professional).
4 Etc etc

OP, Nursing is a very lucrative profession and a perfect career choice if ventured into with the right mindset. Nobody can pay the direct equivalent to nurses for their jobs but there is a huge difference between being paid well and being paid peanuts. However, what is worth doing is worth doing well, go for BNSc program.

Nursing will get it right, thanks for choosing nursing as a career.

Ur number 2 and 3 up there are bold lies. There's a match in the US for more nurses to get their degrees. All medical and health degrees in Nigeria are theory oriented. Nobody does practicals in the university. They make up for the deficit during internship. The problem is that graduate nursing have been denied internship, hence there is a gap in their education. But still, a diploma and a degree holder will NEVER be equal

well said... Jago of Nursing World Nigeria.. thanks for the good works... from THYWILL

If you so. But the degree still commands a higher entry level and exit level. With your RN, the best you ll be is a chief nursing officer, while your former subordinates will climb over you to become directors. If internship is implemented, with the merging of theoretical knowledge with practicals, RNs ll become irrelevant. Babe You are young, please go to a university and get your degree, join the rank of 21st century nurses, else tomorrow ll be difficult with just a diploma.
