8: Also, the federal government should increase the starting level of nurses because it is way too low compared to other medical practitioners.

9: the orientation of the public about nurses is terrible, really, people don't understand what we do, they see us in white uniforms or scrubs and all they think of is injections,

they feel we do nothing else and we think we made this happen, to us nurses are usually seen active when its time for medications like that is the only thing we do.

Nurses should be reminded of our vital responsibilities, to save life, to prevent illness, to promote health and to alleviate suffering.

The NANSNM 2018/2019 Administration believed that change and improvement start from us. TOGETHER WE CAN. Contribute your own part to make it better. Thank you all for your time and rapt attention.

11: documentation is something that most nurses don't remember to do, we forget that, what is not documented is not done, we do a lot on the clients and then are to tired to document.

This is something other medical practitioners will not do, they love to document to ensure it is known that they did something on the clients.
Nurses should know that this is one of our vital duties as this could pose a problem to our patients and our career.

[Nurse bby @Nrs_Riri]

12: we really hope that most of these problems are being noted and that something positive will be done to it.

13: further more, the issue of auxiliary nurses, it is a known thing all over Nigerian that auxiliary nurses practice under the shadow of being registered nurses, some of them don't even hide it.

This is totally wrong, auxiliary nursing should be totally stopped, most of them cause to many problems to the patients and then people think they are nurses too.

Anyone who is not registered under the nursing and midwifery council of Nigeria, and practices as a nurse should be sanctioned.

14: Ill treatment from other medical professionals. This is no longer news in Nigeria, it is rampant among other medical professionals to terrorise and infringe on the right of nurses,

nurse are usually maltreated and nothing is done to thus and this gives room to note maltreatment.

Anyone caught in the act should be properly punished.

10. Most nurses mix business with pleasure in the sense that nurses mix personal issues with the profession, because this nurse offended you, therefore you don't want to work with him,

this definitely will pose a huge problem to the whole hospital. Nurses should remember that we are professionals, whatever happens in our personal life should be out aside when on duty

15: Since all nurses started as students, let's talk about the issues Nigerian students face, because most of these problems starts from studentship.

16: inadequate learning facilities, most schools don't have well equipped hospitals to teach students practically, sometimes students don't even see some equipments till they graduate,
