NMCN EXAMINATION BOOKLETS IN CIRCULATION: Olabanji Joel rants

I have come again with a heavy burden in my heart to call for the investigation of these booklets found with an Hausa man selling "suya". 




The multiple choice question papers are usually being retrieved from the students so how did it get to the suya man even when the students who wrote the exam do not possess it? Question booklets which the students don't get hold of were seen flying around and the answer booklets were seen used by the mallam. The answered booklets should have been properly disposed, why would such be seen outside?! WHO HAS DONE THIS?!

This is ridiculous and demeaning, investigation as to why the papers with nursing and midwifery name boldly written on were not adequately disposed should be done.

WHO SOLD OUT THE PAPERS?!

Well, I believe no nurse working with the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria would subject his or her profession to such disdain but surely someone within the council has done this and such a person must be punished. 




It is not a news that there are so many workers at various offices of the nursing and midwifery council of Nigeria who aren't Nurses. I was once at the southwest zonal office at Yaba, Lagos State where I met just a Nurse at the centre, others were not nurses, do we therefore expect these ones to treat Nurses or Nursing better?!

Nursing in Nigeria has been made a profession without honour which is only operating with downgraded past glory and so many things has contributed to the diminishing position of the profession.



While I rant today, I call on the nursing leaders at various units and sectors to look into all activities bringing down the profession, the booklets in circulation used in selling "suya" should be retrieved and offender should be punished, good representation of the profession by all nursing leaders should be ensured, if the followers are being represented well, good standing for the profession will be be made by the followers at all times to reciprocate the representation of the leaders.

FROM THE HEAD, NURSING IMAGE HAS GONE BAD DUE TO BAD REPRESENTATION, GREED AND POLITICS, THE IMAGE MUST BE REDEEMED, THE LEADERS MUST STAND UP FOR THE PROFESSION AND CREATE A BETTER PATH FOR THOSE OF US BEHIND.


OLABANJI JOEL RANTS AGAIN!

    This is ridiculous and a bad representation of nursing. Whoever did this must be punished. I really wish our leaders can do something about this only if they are truly leaders.
    Nigeria my dear country.
    Other country are progressing due to proper management of their health sector but instead we keep seeing and hearing things that are ridiculous each day.
    God bless and heal NURSING in Nigeria
    God bless and heal NIGERIA

    When would nursing move forward in Nigeria.
    If a certificate exam paper can be giving to an hausa man to sell SUYA. This is demeaning, degrading and posses a bad image to Nursing as a profession.
    Everyday, we hear various bad news about nursing profession which is not meant to be.
    This should be investigated and Appropriate punishment should be given to one who this.

    Ridiculous is an understatement. You can tag and forward to NMCN. The Board Chairman and Registrar should see it and bring to book the offender who has done this.its demeaning for the profession.

    Very bad and this is 2018 questions.
    I thought exam is kept confidential and not destroyed for atleast 10years.
    If the candidate sue them now, it will be termed insubordination.
    How much are they selling paper shredding machine that council can't afford.

    Paper shredder is the best option. It is available in the market and it is affordable.
    Also, before shredding documents, the council should appoint someone responsible for certifying the items are due for destruction.

2025 International Nurses Day Write-up by Olabanji Joel Orolugbagbe

Image
"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...
