Again, when I say something is good, it is good. My precision is crazy! 😊

The most unseen privilege in life: a supportive family.

[Mario, PT @Mario_Sneh]

My manager accidentally forwarded me an email that wasn’t meant for me.

The subject line was:

“Performance Concerns.”

I almost closed it.

Then I noticed something, my name was number 3 and there were already several replies underneath it.

I started reading.

My manager had written that I was “consistently resistant to taking on additional responsibilities.”

I stared at that sentence.

Because for the past six months, I’d been asking him in writing to clarify which additional responsibilities he wanted me to take on.

I had the emails.

Then another manager replied:

“Agreed. We should begin documenting this now.”

Another person wrote:

“Let’s give her another 30 days and then move forward with the PIP.”

I had never been told I was underperforming.

In fact, my last performance review had described me as “meeting expectations.”

I kept scrolling.

Then I saw the sentence that made my stomach drop:

My boyfriend has one rule.

If I call him twice in a row, he answers immediately.

Doesn’t matter if he’s in a meeting.

Doesn’t matter if he’s driving.

Doesn’t matter what time it is.

Last Thursday at 11:43 p.m., I accidentally called him twice while trying to silence my alarm.

He answered before the second ring.

Breathing hard.

He sounded terrified.

The first thing he said was,

“Are you safe?”

I apologized and told him it was an accident.

He didn’t sound annoyed.

Just… relieved.

The next morning I finally asked him why.

On the other hand, I’m glad this skit was posted for the following reasons:

1. The way nursing was portrayed here is exactly how most people outside the profession perceive it. This is who they actually think a nurse is; mere helpers.

2. What you’re seeing here is what really goes on in most cash-driven private hospitals in the country. The two staff at the reception are usually quacks, and even when they have qualifications, they’re often health technology graduates impersonating nurses with no clear job description. They are just there to register patients until the doctor arrives.

3. Most of these hospitals aren’t focused on delivering quality healthcare. They’re money-making businesses for the doctors who own them. Many of these owners are quite rich individuals, but their reluctance to employ qualified personnel, even a doctor who is their colleague to man the clinic in their absence contributes to major mortality in our healthcare system.

4. This also depicts the decay in our healthcare system. The so-called services provided by these patchwork clinics would be effectively handled by functioning primary healthcare centres or comprehensive health facilities.

5. We as healthcare workers need to counter videos like this with proper representation of our roles and correct these widespread misconceptions. More reason why we should embrace content creation as health workers.

In conclusion, This does reflect the reality in most Nigerian hospitals. Thank you @dammiedammie35

If she's RN, BNSC, BSN, RM, LPN, ANP, NP, MSN, nursing student, or whatever. As long as she's a NURSE, these are the ladies that need to be taken care of and pampered!

They're out there, taking care of others, pouring into others with little or no time for themselves. The best you can do is to show them love ❤️

@Munalozy Hmm

I think about this everyday

Bed side Nursing especially in Nigeria is one of the most dehumanizing career path. If I knew then what I know now, I would have studied law or computer science.
