@kyamageroandrew I went through a similar program around 2018 and it was more about support to a particular sect.

@AllanSseky Just visit Turkiye, you'll come back born again!

@blair_kizza The US takes diploma nurses and or nurses of all categories in RN roles. For those strictly going for BSN jobs, they need an H1B visa . Cheaper way to start out is applying to recruitment agencies like interstaff,AMN, etc and they take you through the whole immigration process.

Thanks, Sofi. We are using AI to train nurses on point of care echocardiography and increase access to early rheumatic heart disease diagnosis.

@robertk24 @rkalyes1 Ask for figures,you need to know your ranges. If possible, note them down for comparison.

[Boda Guy🥳 @CastrolKiika]

@dr_evenakato Yep. I am a nurse who hoped to be a surgeon,targetting CRNA. I gotta be close to them (surgeons) in the OR.

@AbbyAinomugisha @rkalyes1 The first world has realised this and nurses are pushed to specialise. Ask any doctor or say pharmacist, anyone in a hospital setting whether they can perform their duties with an incompetent nurse... less likely. Nurses need to be empowered.

[Boda Guy🥳 @CastrolKiika]

@AbbyAinomugisha @rkalyes1 You said it off my lips. I wonder when Ugandans will realise how quickly and definitely they land in nurses' hands.

Nurses are the majority in our health centres,their inadequacies can easily be felt by patients. Nurses need to be empowered more .

Justice 📌

[Boda Guy🥳 @CastrolKiika]

This happens daily,nurses are blamed for every hospital fault. You've just done it out here,in public. Let's collectively manage patients appropriately. An error from a doc or nurse is detrimental to patients ' health. Let's look into empowering everyone and respecting them.

[Dr.TUMWINE CH @ChrispusTumwine]

This might be either a nurse or a clinical officer. I one time happened to be in a regional referral hospital and I saw one of the physicians stopping clinical officer students from attending his ward rounds and he clearly told them he hates them so much ,those are the fruits

[Boda Guy🥳 @CastrolKiika]

@MuganziDavid I neglected the thought that whatever way I was feeling was bse of being kinda antisocial. Your revelation made come to terms with it... on working on it currently.

[Boda Guy🥳 @CastrolKiika]

This explains much about my "unhappy " life.

[David Jolly Muganzi, MD @MuganziDavid]

When internship started, I planned to commit 100% of myself to it. I rolled back on all my projects, cut down gym time, barely went swimming, and barely read. It was hospital, home, and reading about patients only. The thinking behind this was that 100% concentration would help me make the most of this important phase of medical training.
Three months in, I could not recognize myself. It was hard to wake up, it was hard to read, everything was hard. The word we always use, my friends and I, is 'tanking.' I was tanking pro max.

I took leave as soon as they allowed it. I got back to the drawing board.
During those two weeks I realized I was not burnt out because the work was hard; the work I was doing before was more demanding but fun. The drastic change was not healthy.
I reported to hospital for internship from the airport. I landed at 1: 30 AM and by 7: 30 AM, I was in the hospital. This was a drastic change. From a life of going to the gym 4-5 times a week, swimming, working on passion projects which involved a fair share of traveling to a life of bed to hospital.

When I returned from leave, I got back to gyming. I have now been to all swimming pools in Muyenga, Makindye, and Nsambya. I have gotten into new sports, rock climbing and marations thanks to @teammatooke. I got back to working on my passion projects.
I am reading and writing more. I am doing more work than before, but I feel more alive. I am less grumpy on the wards too.
We all need to maintain the play in our lives. This way we live better and work better.

Reflections after a career in medicine - brings much food for thought 🥲

[Boda Guy🥳 @CastrolKiika]

This is disheartening. 😓

[TOKO @GodwinTOKO]

Eight years ago, a young lady, Sophia Koetsier, boarded a plane at Amsterdam airport to come & intern as a medic in Kampala. Six days later she disappeared without a trace like a needle in a haystack: like Benedicto Kiwanuka.

For eight years now, her mother has reminded us…
