Everyone on white are not Nurses by Nurse Chinnemerem E.

Everyone on white is not a nurse by Nurse Chinnemerem Emmanuel U🥼🥼🥼 I walked in to a pharmaceutical shop to buy some pills💊, on entering, I saw one lady in uniform destroying one old woman's hand in d name of setting up IV line The woman's hand was soaked of blood yet the young lady kept on pricking her with the needle I just assessed her( the supposed nurse) from head to toe.. On assessment I said to myself this one na *quack* I approached the scene.. I asked her wot her intentions was? She said she wants to put the needle into her vein...That word put again made me arrive at a definite diagnosis " She is a quack" For the sake of the old woman, I decided to help. I told her to get me a pair of gloves, methylated spirit and cotton wool. U cannot believe that her hands were soiled with blood bcos she wasn't putting on any The way I spoke made her know I was up to goal I then turned to the old woman.. U know all those time in SON now.. "I will greet my parient, I will screen, I will gain informed consent". Thanks mama could understand English. Mama I said U have to remain calm so that I wont prick u twice. She said she wasn't interested again that her hand is hurting her. I was able to convince her and gained her trust. I decided to use the left hand bcos the right one was traumatised. There we go. Thanks to the YORUBA-HAUSA FIGHT then in Ife. I was able to practice with the victims then bcos of mass casualty 1,2,3 the cannula was already in place. The lady was marvelled. How did u manage to do it that easy the supposed nurse asked. I didn't even border answering her. I just ensured she wasn't administering a poison to the helpless woman. I got the drugs I went to buy, on my way out I told her( the supposed nurse) "if actually u want to be a nurse, go and buy a form to a nursing programme" I walk out like Akinwole Wasiu will do after causing trouble. Everyone in white isn't a nurse I wonder wot will happen in rural areas if this can happen in the city and a known establishment. Note: Not all in white are Nurses, be wise, health is wealth, don't trade your health because of nothing, do take care of yourself and allow professionals to be in care of your health.

2025 International Nurses Day Write-up by Olabanji Joel Orolugbagbe

"Caring for Nurses: The Key to a Stronger Economy" The 2025 International Nurses Day theme, "Our Nurses, Our Future; Caring for Nurses Strengthens Economies," resonates deeply with nurses worldwide. As the International Council of Nurses (ICN) aptly puts it, "Building on the success of the 2024 International Nurses Day theme, The Economic Power of Care, the 2025 theme shifts focus to the health and wellbeing of nurses." The Unseen Struggles of Nurses Nursing has evolved significantly over the years, with numerous specialities and forms of care aimed at promoting patient health, preventing illness, and facilitating coping with disabilities and nursing patients to a peaceful death. However, the emotional, physical, social, and financial toll on nurses remains largely unaddressed. Who cares for the heart that cares? The increasing workload, economic pressures, and fear of litigation have made nursing jobs more challenging than ever. Several nurses have left t...

The Reality of Marriage: Beyond Love by Olabanji Joel Orolugbagbe

Image
In my three years of marriage and what I have seen of marriages around me, I have come to realize that every day is an opportunity to celebrate love, foster understanding, practice forgiveness, and make sacrifices. Contrary to the notion that all you need for a successful marriage is love, I have learned that it takes intentional effort and investment from both partners. Sacrifices and forgiveness are just as crucial as love in making a marriage last, peaceful, and happy. Marriage is often romanticized, but the reality is that it requires hard work and dedication, which many marriage speakers tend not to speak about. Love alone isn't enough; financial stability also plays a significant role in strengthening the bond in marriage. Forgiveness and sacrifice are essential, not just during challenging times but as a continuous process. Both partners must be willing to sacrifice their individual interests and preferences to maintain peace and harmony and family growth. As the saying goes...

PRIORITIZING WHAT MATTERS by Olabanji Joel Orolugbagbe

Image
Yesterday, I discharged a very demanding patient home. As she was about to leave the ward with her daughter, she called me over for a hug and expressed her gratitude. She told her daughter that I was a good nurse and was happy that I was part of her care team throughout her hospital stay. This gesture hit me differently, and it motivated me to do even more for my patients. As an adult with family responsibilities, I have come to realize that my profession is not just a job but a source of sustenance. I have learned to prioritize my role as a nurse above every thing I was actively doing before having a family, and the appreciation from patients like this one means a lot to me. Recently, I had a conversation with my cousin, and I shared with him that the only thing that can get under my skin is being told I am not good at my job because I see it as a threat to my source of livelihood and if genuinely done, I see it as a push to improve myself. I have accepted that I have shifted my focus...
