please NCLEX is not written anywhere in nigeria. Its only CGFNS which will evaluate your status as a nurse in your home country before you are eligible to write NCLEX in USA. And for you to get admission, you must be a US registered nurse which you can't do until CGFNS verifies your license before you can write NCLEX in US or any other country like fillipian but never 9ja

Since you are so desperate to have a child and the quality of your eggs has diminished, I advice you use a donor egg. This will atleast make you experience motherhood. There are also good hospitals here in nigeria that are very good in that. One of them does promo every year, maybe you can try using donor this time around
CareerRe: Male Nurses In The House.. Tell Us Your Experiences. by Prettychyna(f): 7:47am On Apr 15, 2013
Am a female nurse, I respect male nurses cos they are good at their jobs. And patients seem to love them. The problem is that patients sometimes confuse them as doctors which shows that people are yet to come to terms that all nurses are not females. I believe they can also make good husbands. My 2cents

proproman: @bikini, am sure you won't allow a street rascal, no matter how warm hearted, treat you when you are ill. You seem to have serious beef against the doctors. Not every doctor is as nasty as you make it out. I have been to several federal hospitals and am yet to find a really foul tempered doctor like you've painted. It's usually the nurses that play that role. Seriously, you ought to give kudos to those doctors that, given the conditions the work in, wake up every morning and go to the hospital to attend to patients. Maybe you should take a day of and go to any of the federal health care institutions around you. You will find out that most times, you'll have a situation where ten doctors have to attend to about a thousand patients, that's 1 to 100. I tell you it's disheartening when you finish attending to one patient, you know there are about sixty others waiting outside. Most patients want the doctor to spend lots of time with them but you can only get such a luxury in private hospitals, if you can afford it. The doctor would like to attend to all his patients so he can have some time to himself. You can't blame him for getting frustrated. If you were in their shoes, you would also be frustrated no matter how cool and level headed you are. I can bet you that. There is so much pressure, so little equipment, really terrible environment and not enough time. Consider all these and you'll know why some doctors do get angry especially if you criticize their profession because the doctor name is the only thing that gives them pride. Apart from that, there's nothing much else for them to be proud of. You have to give them credit for trying. If after reviewing all these you still think they deserve all the aspersions you are casting, well there are many rascals out there that can give you treatment when you are ill. Am sure they will give you a discount.
what do you mean by its usually the nurses that play that role?ii can see that you are a fool. Instead of facing the issue at hand, you are busy pointing accusing finger at another person.mtcheeEwww

HealthProtecting The Title "Nurse" by Prettychyna(op): 8:09am On Jan 28, 2013
While the nursing profession battles to redeem its already battered image by the media and in most cases, bad eggs within, It is not uncommon to grab a National daily with screaming diabolical headlines like 'Nurse paralyses patient', Nurse sells baby, Nurse poisons .......,

In Nigeria Unfortunately, every human being dressed in white is a 'NURSE. To make matters worse, the nursing and midwifery council maintains an analog database/ register and as such, journalist are inpatient to manually verify the nurses' status in terms of registration before publishing their stories.

As a matter of fact, majority of these atrocious headlines are committed by an unscrupulous group erroneously called 'auxiliary nurses'. This group has bastardized the nursing profession, our pristine 'white' uniform and Nigerian nurses as a whole. This so called nurses do not adhere to any laid down professional code of practice, ethics and conduct since there are no Nigerian laws, standards or regulation that direct their practice.

In the light of these professional character defamation and assassination by the press, there is an urgent need in line with the international council of nurses position to protect the title of 'NURSE' by law. this title should be applied to and used ONLY by those legally authorized to represent themselves as nurses and to practice nursing. Unlawful use of the title “Nurse” should result in criminal, civil, and/or administrative actions against the person or medical practitioner who trains them and/ or anyone who assists them in using the title “Nurse”

When the nurse title is protected by law, Journalist and the media need to be educated about our legal rights to the EXCLUSIVE use of this title, and the ensuing accountability and responsibilitie­s assigned to 'WE' who are entitled by law to bear this title.

Nursingworld Nigeria believes that Reserving the title “Nurse” for those who meet the legal standard enhances public protection by allowing the public to distinguish legally qualified nurses from quacks. The purpose of restricting use of the title "Nurse" is to protect the public from individuals who are not licensed or authorized to practice as nurses, but may hold themselves out as providing health services that only nurses may provide.

The nursing and midwifery council of Nigeria needs to wake up to its primary function of Prosecuting illegal Training Institutions and Regulating/ controlling the practice of Nursing in all its ramifications.

NANNM must as a matter of urgency push for the protection of the title 'NURSE', because In the absence of formal title protection, any individual could represent themselves as a “Nurse” without holding the required qualifications or demonstrating the necessary competence

@Nuoriah,why would I have to study something I know I can never use?studying when I know I won't use upto 90% of the knowledge.why cram all the diseases I know I can never see in my life time?even when I eventually see them,I wouldn't even be able to know what it is?go to the westerned world and know how everybody concentrates on what they do without trying to interfer wiTh others work,no wonder we are still far behind!and why would I wanna write mbbs exam which is not even a standardized exam? As for where I got the info,it is very rampant in the university I graduated from and I have loads of medical students then as friends,my roomie was a medical student so I know what am saying. Any way,its of no use arguing with someone with your kind of mentality.with this attitude, don't think nigerian health system is going anywhere.
HealthRe: The Challenges Of Being A Nigerian Nurse by Prettychyna(f): 8:41am On Jan 24, 2013
@ Nuoriah, So you still believe in this your know it all philosophy? SMH4U!talking about incompetence,what do you have to say about a doctor that prescribed IV chloroquine for a patient?or one that prescribed ampiclox 4g qds for a minor infection? Or a HO that said you use izal to treat diabetic foot?what do you have to say about the bunch of incompetent doctors killing patients because they don't want to believe that they don't know it all or don't wanna listen? ,if not for the protocol and law guiding the health care,you will bear with me that most of the nurses and doctors work will overlap.As if we didn't enter the same class with med students for anat,physio,biochem,pharmac. ,we monitor the patient and that is what we write in our nursing process and you work based on the information we give you,well unless you also don't listen to the nurses which is quite unfortunate. My dear,we are also there to catch your mistakes which a good doctor always appreciates The nurse also prevents the incompetent doctors from accidentally killing patients that is why we spend 5years in the university to learn all we know unlike you that spend just 6years learning the work of a doctor,nurse,lab scientist,pharmacist,radiographer,physiotherapist,nutritionist and recently I heard you will start learning traditional medicine(you mentioned earlier you know all that)! So hilarious!!real jack of all trade master of none . If you are a doctor my dear ,stick to that and stop trying to outdo others in their field. As for passing the MBBS, I have seen what they do in school in the name of writing professional exam! Its so painful when our so called medical students sort their way through, this is an exam where the brilliant ones fail while the dunces with little cash cross over. Its only in 9ja that this argument happens
HealthRe: The Challenges Of Being A Nigerian Nurse by Prettychyna(f): 7:05am On Jan 24, 2013
What the doctors have failed to understand is that nursing and medicine are totally different profession with different bodies governing them, so I don't see the reason why a profession will want to head another profession?my dear,in medical profession for example you have your hierarchy-from house officer to junior reg to senior reg to consultant. I don't see anywhere where the nurse is mentioned.same with nurses,from NO 11 to NO 1 to PNO to CNO down to nursing manager,I don't see anywhere where a doctor is mentioned. So you see what I mean by two parallel lines that can never meet. So stop comparing our work because we do differnt things entirely. The earlier they stop feeding you lies in medical school,the better for the entire healthcare system.I wonder if a lawyer will ever leave his profession to start heading accountants.you have not removed the speck in your eyes and you are trying to remove log of wood from another person's. Bunch of incompetents!
HealthRe: The Challenges Of Being A Nigerian Nurse by Prettychyna(f):
@beautiful onyi,You sounded so bitter,why? Can't believe that a doctor can be this myopic. Is that what you were told in school?that you alone make use of your brain while others are dunces. This is the same thing we have been saying all this while,your statement defines the kind of doctor you are. You mean to tell me that I spent 5years in the university learning just that? And am being paid well for it? Wow,that sounds so great! Did the pharmacist also spend 6years in the uni learning how to count and dispense drugs? You need to wake up girl,no need to ague with somebody who is probably suffering from delusion of grandeur

@dr9ce,you don't have to compare because we don't do the same work, so you don't expect the hours to be the same. you insinuated that we don't work as much as you do by comparing the hours,and I was trying to let you know that we don't do the same thing so there should be no basis for comparison. Mind you,most of your colleagues complain about our roaster,don't even know why they should poke nose in other people's affair in the first place.

HealthRe: Doctors Must Not Head Hospitals, Health Workers Tell Minister by Prettychyna(f): 7:44pm On Jan 23, 2013
@dr9ce, thank God you have said it yourself that the doctor can not even do a thing on his own. Check out this--you admit patient, nurses care for them, you write lab investgation, another person runs the test, you prescribe, another person dispenses. My question is,what can you actually do on your own without others? Mind you that if the nurses are not in the ward,then no admission,by the way,hope you enjoyed the nurses work? and if the lab scientist is not on seat then I wonder how you intend to diagnose,thank God you said you can run some BASIC test which anybody can d,what happens to the other test you can't run?.you can't just be jack of all trade master of none. And who told you other health workers can't do the doctors work to a reasonable extent? So you see that health care is a team work. Wrt the administrative work, whoever the cap fits should wear it. We have to do what is obtainable in the developed world, no wonder we have been stagnant all this while.
Doctor should head NMA,nurse should head NANNM,pharmacist should head PSN while the the best candidiate should head the hospital pls. Let's stop playing politics with people's lives!

Support system as in ? Supporting the doctors or patients? The star of the healthcare system as far as am concerned is the patient. Everybody works to support the patient not any profession.SMH for naija mentality. Mr minister, the difference between the judicial system and healthcare system is that healthcare is a multi disciplinary system, no sole profession should claim responsibilty for what happens. Its only in nigeria that this kind of thing happens, what has clinical skill got to do with administrative skill? Mtcheeewwww

@dr9ce,why are you complaining about our shift duty? Are you guys not collecting your call allowance? So don't complain cos you are being paid handsomely for it. Some drs resume by 9am and leave by 12, I have seen that happen.you only review the patient briefly but the nurse has to monitor the patient 24hrs, you think that is easy? Try being a nurse for one day! We deal with abusive patients and relatives during our shift and you think that's a childs play. Nursing and medicine are two parallel lines that can never meet.
