@lummydeh @daviddaj026 which makes it unavailable for internationally trained nurses, thereby making UK and Canada the ideal choices. So, instead of the distance learning available in Nigeria, these routes are faster. Savvy?

[Tomi @TomTomKej]

@lummydeh @daviddaj026 Top-up is a conversion course for nurses with RN who want to obtain Bsc Nursing. You can do it in UK, Canada or US. It takes a year in UK, about 2 years in Canada and 18 months in US. In the US, the course is mostly part-time and you can’t get a student visa on a part time course

@daviddaj026 Top-up, takes a year. Write your UK CBT and OSCE after. Then you can sit for the NCLEX afterwards, this is faster and your earning potential is better, makes it easier to plan.

For the nursing profession to move forward, we need to speak the harsh truth about nurses, nursing leaders, and our governing bodies. We can't shy away from the truth anymore. As I said, we might need to confront our ourselves first, ask the right questions before we can progress

[Fatai Ibrahim, RN,MSN 🇳🇬🇺🇸 @rundriveng]

Nigerians think it is normal for a Nurse to be caring for 30 patients.

Thats why they will never criticize their horrible government, they will always be looking for soft targets.

So many cowards in Naija.

[Ajape Foworanse @UncleZubs]

Another doctors versus nurses debate on the Internet. Over vital signs. Two overworked and underpaid fools who are resuming work tomorrow o

My contribution to the Nigerian society is I don’t give unsolicited medical advice

If not for greed why would 5 distinction candidates pack themselves inside one discussion group?

A severed nerve doesn't have to mean permanent loss of function.

This patient accidentally cut their median nerve. To fix it, we performed a cable graft—essentially building a bridge for the nerve fibers to grow across and reconnect.

This is the reconstruction side of #PlasticSurgery restoring form AND function ⚡️🔌

This is why I keep saying Nurses in 🇳🇬 need more autonomy. 👍

When nurses are restricted from basic clinical skills, this is the outcome:
➡️ Everything becomes “call the doctor”
➡️ Delays in patient care
➡️ Burnout for doctors
➡️ Nurses losing confidence in skills they should be mastering

So who is to blame?
The system that limits nurses?
Or leadership that hasn’t pushed to expand our scope?

When the invigilator has been talking about the exam rules for too long, and your crammed answers are already evaporating.

[Abdull Ibrahim, MD @Yantumakii]

Most HCWs are not interested in any in-house struggle for supremacy; they just want to have an environment where they could come in, deploy their knowledge and skills; ease patients suffering; got paid a decent wage; and go back home where they are loved.

[Fatai Ibrahim, RN,MSN 🇳🇬🇺🇸 @rundriveng]

Dear RNs,

Always stick to the facts!

I’ve shared this before, but here’s a gentle reminder for our new colleagues:

When administering steroids and antibiotics together, give the **steroid first**, then the **antibiotic**.

Reducing the inflammatory process first creates a better environment for the antibiotic to work effectively.

Cheers 🥂

Stay evidence-based and always professional. 🙏🏽

[Fatai Ibrahim, RN,MSN 🇳🇬🇺🇸 @rundriveng]

Dear RN,

Read extensively about drug interactions; it will guide and elevate your practice when administering medications.

If ever in doubt, please call your hospital pharmacy. In Nigeria 🇳🇬, we often underutilize them, but trust me,when it comes to drug interactions, pharmacists are the absolute best.

In my hospital, the pharmacists are present during codes to assist with rapid reconstitution and dosing of emergency drugs.

They are incredibly valuable and take a huge load off the nurses during those critical moments.

Stay sharp!
Cheers 🥂

[Tomi @TomTomKej]

@BadboILight @Idrees_taheer @Yantumakii Goodluck to those working in facilities that undermine their skills. These conversations are exhausting. NGRNs need to go where they’re valued. Maybe when many of us leave and hospitals are overrun by quacks, everyone will finally learn. A big problem is brewing.

[Tomi @TomTomKej]

@BadboILight @Idrees_taheer @Yantumakii IV cannulation is a nursing responsibility. Teaching hospitals need to restructure these role allocations. Our leaders stayed silent, and younger nurses accepted decisions that devalue the profession. IV access is the bare minimum a nurse should do.

[Fatai Ibrahim, RN,MSN 🇳🇬🇺🇸 @rundriveng]

Dear RNs,

If you're starting a heparin drip 💧, try to establish at least one extra IV access beforehand.

You don't want to have to poke the patient's veins after the heparin has already started,it significantly increases the risk of bleeding or hematoma formation.

Having that extra IV access keeps your patient safer and gives you a reliable site if you need to administer other medications concurrently or draw blood for labs.

Always prioritize safety!

Cheers 🥂
