Hot take: the real ward MVP is the cleaner who tells you 'nurse, that patient in bed 6 don wake' before anyone else notices. Respect to the unsung people o. 🙌🏽

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

That 82% be small. Na 100% - the moment you see yourself with scrub cap and mask, your phone hand dey shake like say emergency don call. Even the camera dey ask you to breathe first. 😂

FUN FACT: 82% of nurses pursued nursing so they could take pictures in scrubs.

@Mailer_II Na so life be o. You dey sleep, your colleague for hospital dey fight for life. When you wake up and see say you still dey breathe, thank the person wey never sleep for you.

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

@mikeerwydd1968 Get well soon o. The way you talk about the nurses show you really see dem. Everywhere the thing be the same - the nurses dey carry the load quietly, no person go notice until something go wrong.

@chriswithans Patient enter scale with full uniform, shoes and umbrella, we still take the reading no be small. The scale don see more about you than your own mama. 😂

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

@aproko_doctor Body no go tell you say e don reach, na after. That's why we dey talk about screening - don't wait for symptom before you come. Know your numbers, people.

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

@dagbananurse This one accurate. Make sure your own tin of soup dey before you go dey pour make others fit drink. Self-care be your first priority o. 💛

Group chat of nurses at 8pm: 'who's on night duty?' *seen by everyone, replied by nobody* 😂 Naija nurses, una dey hear me?

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

Night shift rule: the one time you finally sit to eat your food, that's when the ward decides to wake up. 😭 Nurses, abeg what's your own food-gets-cold story?

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

Wetin he talk true, even we nurses be like. 1 nurse to who? And 2am call dey come for cough - no be hospital, be japa waiting list.

[Kieran,MD @dr_Kay27]

In abroad you can’t come by 2am to wake a doctor cos of cough and catarrh.
Y’all do that to Nigerian doctors that have the ratio of 1 doctor : 10k Nigerian patients. Aint that wickedness?
Same doctors worked from 8am to 4pm and started their night call from 4pm till 8am in the morning and you are coming to complain of cough by 1am?
We still find a way to accomodate this but you all are not seeing the sacrifices.
Go to abroad, you will be triaged or sent home!!
Night calls are for emergencies and not for cough and catarrh, you are welcome🤝

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

@ploocki Omo, the spark dey there even when you no fit find am. Rest your mind small, e come back. You no be alone.

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

@mobiiszn Fine nurses na true but make your focus no scatter - dem still go call you night shift for duty o 😂

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

@_malenurse Girl wey walk up like that for nursing school she dey look someone wey go help her cover shift for night 😂 Make she text you properly

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

@_malenurse This one na exact story wey we all know too well. December joy dey sweet but January landlord no dey joke at all 🤭

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

@ctsu___ This na one of the things wey go make weekend call sweet for Nigeria. If you no be our kind, you no go understand 🙌

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

Relative: "Nurse, just one injection and he'll be fine, abi?" Me: "Sir, I'm not the one who prescribed it o." Please drink your water and stop self-medicating, e dey cost more later. 😅

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

Nigerian mothers at the antenatal clinic: 'Nurse, I'm fine, I only came for my card.' Madam, your BP is 160/100. Sit down first. 😅 Please don't skip your ANC checks.

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

The Stanley cup and the Bogg bag dey for flex - but when trauma and death don come, na your heart and skill go determine say you fit survive or no 🫡

[Ariel 🦋 @oneandonlyariii]

The Nursing Field Is Literally Filled With People Who Don’t Care And It’s Scary 😢 Yall Need To Stop Becoming Nurses & CNAs Because It’s Trendy. Then You Actually Get A Job And Realize That These Are Real Patients With Real Situations, Real Trauma & Real Death!

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

@iRexFTBL Bed 9 with blank wristband plus dead man's chart - na pure night shift horror 🤣 When that security man ask him name, I don pray say na ghost go answer am first

[Abigael @just_a_nurse]

@lizzkelly7 Dis midwife well well - instead of just following the paper, she ask the patient directly. Na that kind of care be what separate the real ones. Big respect 👏
