After years of nursing, reflection, mistakes, lessons, growth, and watching incredible nurses struggle silently under pressure, I finally wrote my first book.
๐ Better to Ask Than to Harm -
A Nurseโs Guide to Safe Practice and Lasting Confidence
By Kelvin Ossai
This book was born from real experiences.
As an emergency nurse and health protection practitioner, I have seen good nurses make mistakes. I have seen confident nurses miss things simply because they did not pause to ask, check, clarify, or speak up. I have also seen how one moment, one assumption, or one rushed decision can change a nurseโs confidence, career, and sometimes even their life forever.
And the truth is this:
Nurses are not expected to know everything. Safe nurses are not the ones who pretend to know. Safe nurses are the ones who ask.
This book is my honest conversation with nurses across every stage of their journey, from students and newly qualified nurses to experienced professionals trying to survive the pressure of modern healthcare safely and confidently.
I wrote this book because I genuinely love nursing and I deeply care about nurses.
I want nurses to feel confident enough to ask questions.
Wise enough to double check.
Strong enough to speak up.
And safe enough to protect both their patients and themselves.
I am also deeply honoured that my mentor, Gill Tanner who has watched my journey over the years, wrote the foreword for this book. She immediately connected with the vision behind it and was genuinely supportive of both the message and the practical insights shared throughout the book. Having her voice and support in this project means a lot to me.
This is my first book of many more to come, and I honestly could not think of a more meaningful first project.
๐ Official Release Date: August 1st

Will be available in Ebook and Paper copy.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this journey already. I truly hope this book helps someone someday, even if it is just one nurse on one difficult shift.

I hate it when someone dies of cancer, and we start giving medical advice. Stop being insensitive. There is no single CAUSE of Cancer; there are interactions of multiple factors. I've seen fitness junkies develop cancer at an early age, and those with the most unhealthy lifestyles live disease-free until old age. Even though we encourage a healthy lifestyle through health education, let's choose our moments so that our good intentions aren't misconstrued, please๐
Itโs International Nurses Day, but for thousands of Nigerian nurses, itโs just another day of waiting.
Since May 2023, the NMCN has not signed or released any certificates. This has stalled career progression, limited job opportunities, and left young nurses in professional limbo.
Today is a reminder to the world that this delay is unacceptable.
Join our solidarity as we demand the immediate release of our certificates.
