who has done this is it so simple

lol, it isn't simple oh. Have you calculated the financial implication. You need some good financial muscle

Greetings Scientists in the biulding....

PLS I need suggestions...... I will like to know what Nigerian textbooks one can buy to learn different laboratory test examinations as well as better your knowledge on different laboratory test examinations..... Thanks

Are you a medical lab scientist? You should be familiar with the commonly used textbooks if you are and lab tests are not learnt from reading books but clinical training. Books aid as a guide

Experience4u:
Like stated, after assessment you will be given positive assessment as MLT code 311213. If you don't want to write the professional exam you can remain an MLT. You can as well apply for nomination with MLT.

If you have the money you can prepare and write the exam in SA or UK or you can write it onshore after getting nomination and Granted.

please I am a medical laboratory scientist, one year and half working experience In a hospital while still searching for internship placement. Any link to detailed description on how a MLS can get their PR from scratch. Let me start planning and working towards it

Sorry for your loss, from your final post, it is clear your mother most likely died of cervical/vagina cancer. You guys have been self prescribing for her treating malaria and typhoid she never had.

Forget that list, as someone in healthcare I can tell you that list is just based on online visibility and nothing else. Big multinational hospitals with state of the art facilities are not mentioned there because they are low-key and not in the news.

@crazeman03 first I want to dispel your misconceptions about HIV pregnant female. I am a medical Lab scientist working in a hospital supported for HIV program by global fund.
1) For someone that the viral load is undetectable that is below 20copies/ml the chances of HIV transmission is almost zero that is why you are NEGATIVE even when having unprotected sex. As long as she remains on her medications and go for viral load test when due, you have nothing to fear.
2) Out of over 20 HIV Pregnant female I attended to in the last one year only one had a HIV positive child because she had some mental issues and was not taking her drugs, all others had HIV negative children.
3) She can breastfeed her child, the current international guideline is exclusive breastfeeding as long her viral load is suppressed. The gians outweigh the risk and all that breastfed their kids none had a HIV positive child.
4) 6 weeks after birth, the child will be taken to the hospital for HIV infant PCR test then repeated at 3months, 6 months and 9months. She must do this unfailingly, infact the Hospital has someone that tracks this and will call.
In summary, you have nothing to fear as long as she remains on her drugs daily and go for test and check up routinely, you and the child/children will remain HIV negative. And all tests are free in government and some private supported facility.

The reason alot of people think the OP salary is unbelievable is because it is in naira. From the write up, it is a remote IT job which the company most likely is US based, there are many Tech guys in naija working remotely for tech companies abroad. The pay is just around $2k which will be far lower than what they will pay for same position in their country. Blame the valueless naira for making $2k dollars look so big.

Asnafsaeed:
My lil bro is posted to Delta State, i have been anxious and stressed out since!!

stressed out for Delta state ?

Many patients in cancer management may need up to 10 pints of blood and above especially leukemia cases. That is 10 people's blood used up by one person. Multiply that by 10 patiens on such condition and you will know how many people need to donate for just a small number of patient.

Lostz:
health workers are not victim. they sneak freely donated blood to private blood bank for sale.

the judge made the right decision. only in a shîthole will someone be forced to donate blood

lol, please don't say what you don't know. All donated blood are accounted for. Anyone that sneaks any blood out in a govt hospital that will always have shortage of blood will lose his/her job. Most times it is even private blood bank govt hospitals turn to for supply when they are seriously in need

Pinonwa:
7k is outrageous for screening, getting a blood bag,HCV,BHsAg and RVS for screening shouldn't cost more than 3k if we want to tell ourselves the truth.

The 7,000 you paid is for blood screening and cross matching.

Nobody sold your blood. your blood was simply used for another person that was in need of blood and the person will also replace the blood before leaving the hospital.

Hope your 3k will also buy regulated blood bank fridge and steady power to store it till it is needed for use. Also buy Anti A, B, anti D, Bovine Albumin, AhG for grouping and crossmatch ?. Healthcare is expensive and what you pay in Govt hospital is a fraction of the actual cost of whatever service is provided to you. You guys should find out the number one cause of bankruptcy in the almighty USA it is medical debt.

Foolish decsiosn from someone without the technical know how.. Nigerians don't donate blood and when it is needed for delivery or post delivery issues it becomes life threatening and the blood bank may not have any in store to give even with your money. Those saying they sell the blood, the cost of screening, blood bag, storage is more than what you pay for blood. For places that use PCR to screen like NBTS it is even more than 50k to screen with PCR but patients pay like 7k for the blood, highly subsidized. The major source of blood in Nigeria is replacement donation from patient relative. Hospitals don't manufacture blood, when people don't donate the price will skyrocket. With your money you won't see the blood

Kaigheyisi:
I studied medical laboratory science in uniben

wow, congrats bro, Bmls Uniben 2018. I may even know you personally if your set is from 2015 upwards.

Ugo1994:
Please which state best pays med lab corpers

Northern states will always top the list if you can do there.

rolyboi:
As a medical laboratory scientist ,would love to travel for greener pastures.pls can anyone wt reasonable link......even if not getting a job based on my profession.Any good paying job would be appreciated.

check the travel section for migrating to Australia as a Permanent resident, you only need to write their licensing exam to practice there from findings

nelszx:
Just take the provisional license to any of the council offices and 1k that's all.

I think it is now automated via remmita. Payment of 1k is done online

James150:
please I have a couple of questions.

1. Please can a freshly graduate of college of nursing school November or December 2019
Get to the UK and get a job 2020
2. Can you work and complete your bsn nursing in one year
3. Can you go to the UK to do the 1 year nursing rn to bsc on campus and be working as a nurse.

In summary please I want to go to the UK to obtain my bsn nursing in 1 year and still be working and save some money somehow while doing it....I dont just dont want to go to the UK and do bsn nursing and come back like that i have a sponsor to the UK and even for the bsn nursing course.
My target is to obtain my bsn nursing in the UK in one 1 and be working while doing it to save some money too of my own...because the bsn nursing will make me eligible for the four 4 years MD(MBBS) course in Philippines....

I think this thread will give you s better insight https://www.nairaland.com/5268048/adventures-uk-bound-nurse

Mandeyy:
It's not slim. OND, SLT is widely accepted for DE into medical laboratory science. However, he should take UTME as well to stand a better chance. This is because the number of DE candidates with OND, SLT is always higher. He should also apply to a state university. If he's in the East, he should apply to UNN. With 270 in its post-DE screening, he'll be offered DE admission into medical laboratory science. Post-DE screening is taken in September or October at the main UNN campus. It's also easy to get 270 in the post- DE screening. Post-UTME screening is for JAMBites while post-DE is for DE candidates.

I am speaking based on my experience from my Alma mata Uniben. All DE students I know before, during and after my set were all BSC and HND holders.

Adroit144:
pls i need advice... i just gained admission to study science lab tech (chemical science) at yabatech. i want to know if i can use it for direct entry to study med lab science in a university that accept OND for D.E

The chances of any university accepting an OND for DE to medlab is very slim. Your best option is to prepare for the next UTME and fill in medlab if that is what you want

kelechiCollins:
Please I am looking for a professor or mentor in Exercise physiology or kinesiology mostly in Nigeria. Also I need a place to even work on part-time on this. I will start my PhD program in Exercise physiology and Neuroscience. Pls contact me on
Call 08080661276
What's app 08108859241
Please I need early mentorship and IT training

why are you doing a PhD? That should be the first question to answer. I believe you did your MSc in physiology too and haven't used it to practice but believe a PhD will bring opportunities for you. Except you intend to going to academics, I don't see the chances of applying it in real practice. Physiotherapist already have your exercise physiology while medicine takes anything neurology/neuroscience

I thought FMC owo is in ondo state, why is the report saying ondo did not have any tertiary health facility before?

Businessman247:
Goodevening everyone... please what's the most lucrative unit in medical laboratory Science? Currently at the point of choosing a unit.

Please I really need your advice. If you have evidence or facts to support your claim the better..

Thanks much.

choose the option that you know you are more grounded in academically so you can graduate with a good grade. In the outside world you are a medlab scientist and expected to be all round practically. That is why interns do rotation in all specialty to sharpen your practical skills, only government hospitals have different labs for each unit, otherwise it is a always a medical laboratory and all have equal opportunities

My dad got Abuja plate number for his SUV with factory tint. Once police see him coming they assume it is a politician's car.. Even at the state police headquarters in Delta where they will ask you all sort of questions before you can drive in now they just wave and allow him In..

Effurum is part of warri na

Effurun and Warri are two conjoined twins, many places people call warri are in Effurun like Old airport, PTI, Federal university of petroleum resources are all in Effurun. And there is no distinct demarcation, they have developed into each other.

Good afternoon, some of my apps just stop working on their own despite still showing as installed on the system.. First it was Photoshop then VLC and some few others, don't know if it a virus issue since the avast has expired

danilmo:
Every course is tough in there own way but some are tougher bro..

We dont use semester calender but rather months so we can finish path and Pharm.. that's is y I said ur corriculum isn't design to know much of path and Pharm, na medics d course are made for so we study path and Pharm to the core, how can u study material for 3-4 month only to come here and say u know path and Pharm where medics are na. howfar u..

Did I said u didnt write it, but my dear in the scale of 1-10 , u guys didn't do half of path and Pharm..

I heard u saying drawing d structure of drug, wait is that what pharmacology all about, to draw drug structure?? don't embarrass pharmacology here, we talking of pharmacology to manage patient , u are telling me chem pharmacy.

u are meant to know drug because u produce and that structural brohaha isn't d real deal in pharmacology, probably ur chem pharmacy, abi tell me is it karzung or Tripathy that taught u drug structure?? we are talking pharmacology u saying drug structure..

dude just shut up and focus on graduating from medical school. It is always students that rant online, your colleagues who are practicing doctors don't have time for ignorant talks like this. How can you claim to know pharmacology more than a pharmacist that owns the department

AmazingELixir:


Oya make dem grand stand into the jobless employment market

lol pharmacy is one of the courses with highest number of vacancies. Even pre-intern are getting employed. I am in the medical field and if a pharmacist says he is unemployed then he does not like the ones available.

RexEmmyGee:
Congratulations.

Still wondering why ABU can't produce a first class since the department came into existence.

But it is said that a 3rd student in ABU law is better than a first class or 2.1 law students in any other university

Be deceiving yourself, when international scholarships or foreign university request for minimum of 2.1 for postgraduate studies tell them your 3rd class is better than 1st class from other schools.

Xcellente10:
Good evening Nairalanders
Please pardon and correct my grammatical errors.

Am a guy of 22 years, currently on a 2 years biomedical engineering diploma program in one of the college of health technology in Nigeria. Though, at first i applied for community health extension worker(CHEW) , and I spent like 3 months in the department before I was weeded and I later change my department to Biomedical engineering, though, am really doing good in the department. My last semester Gp was 3.43 over 4.00, because i always try my best wherever i found myself. But I still feel like pursuing my dream of becoming a Nurse because I really like the profession.

Please what should i do? Should i continue with the Biomedical engineering in the University or go for a degree in Nursing. Please I really need your advice.

Go for nursing, biomedical engineering in Nigeria is still far from what it should be. Almost all big medical equipment like CT scan are serviced by foreign companies. Those that are sought after in Nigeria had to go abroad for proper training in biomedical engineering not the below standard program you have here. But with nursing, straight out of school you can migrate to Canada, UK etc to practice as long as you pass their licensing exams

Zornes123:
the blood bank there said they don’t handle anything on test. That I should go to the GD. And Elisa takes longer than a day for result to come out. And I feel if it’s beyond 3months, won’t it work same as the rapid since they both check for anti bodies.

Blood Bank only handles screening for potential blood donors as I stated earlier.

hidhrhis:
Elisa takes days to be ready
it always take 3 days to be ready

I don't want to argue, I have given the procedure to take. For blood donors result comes out same day and they are not screened with rapid test kits again, It has been stopped.
