You people don’t set lines in Nigeria. In many places you don’t give medications or even check and chart vitals. In many teaching hospitals (the highest level of care), your work is basically to call the doctor. Am I lying?

Yes, women are natural caregivers, even without certified trainings, female animals have natural instincts of care, So whether a nurse or a doctor, caregiving is a natural phenomenon to the womenfolks.

People are impersonating your profession, instead of you to ginger your regulatory bodies, you say “it’s doctors that’s training them” So you sit back and start twitter warfare against doctors. When in reality, quacks are taking your jobs. Amazing stuff

I have been around nurses, with previous partners and siblings long enough to know that nursing is not the glamorous profession most people hype it to be. I would never understand the reason why nursing is so over hype when the careers with the real ballers don’t even make noise. Nursing is that empty drum that makes the loudest noise. Don’t get me wrong nursing can be attractive and rewarding, but it’s not among the top 10 most rewarding careers. Nursing is best for youngsters fresh from secondary school at the age of 16/17. By the time you are 26/27 you are already a band 6/7 nurse and moving into supervisory and managerial roles. There are also some specific specialised areas of nursing that pays higher than other areas, and is less manual labour intensive, like Nurse Consultants, typically from band 8/9, with more advisory and leadership duties, Research Nurses, focusing on clinical trials and data analysis, clinical nurse specialists in fields like oncology or cardiology, and advanced nurse practitioners in community or informatics settings. But these are not entry roles and you would have to have paid your dues to pivot into these specialism. That “big baller” or "baby girl lifestyle" they make you believe they live, it’s all a facade. It's cute on social media, but it crumbles under the weight of what nursing actually demands day-to-day. Sure, if you're genuinely interested in healthcare and providing compassionate care to people, you might excel at it. But it’s best you start really early, at 16/17. The job is mostly manual labor disguised as heroism; hoisting patients twice your size, endless bed changes, IV insertions, and wound dressings that leave your back screaming by shift's end. Throw in those brutal 12-hour shifts, nightshifts that wreck your circadian rhythm and social life, and a work environment so stressful it's basically a pressure cooker with burnout rates hovering around 40-50% in the NHS. Short-staffed wards mean you're juggling three patients' worth of chaos solo, dodging abuse from exhausted families or combative folks in crisis, all while the alarms blare and the clock ticks toward overtime you didn't sign up for. Holidays? Forget them, limited annual leave gets eaten by mandatory bank holiday and weekend coverage, because healthcare doesn't stop for Christmas or Easter. You're pulling rotas that make free weekends feel like luxury, and the pay? Band 5 starters earn a paltry £28k-£34k, even band 6/7 tops out at £35k-£42k after years on the job. Compare that to teachers/lecturers teaching STEM, Law, Criminology or even the RN teaching Health and Social care, easily starting out at £40K+, IT pros coding from home offices at £45k-£60k+ average, engineers starting at £50k+ (9-5 stability, no bodily fluids), or sales reps closing deals at £45k base plus uncapped commissions that balloon to £80k+ (travel allowances, not bedpans). Nurses glorify the "saving lives" flex, but the real math shows it's undervalued sweat equity, high emotional toll, low financial return, while quieter fields stack real wealth without the scrubs and calluses. If you love nursing, start early. Nursing is noble, but it's not a shortcut to luxury.

If you remove the involvement of Doctors from quackery, the rate will drop by 99.9%. The quackery rate in nigeria will be 0.1%.

My contribution to this strike will be to clamp down on any and every person trying to gaslight or manipulate doctors.

NARD has been begging FG. FG has been silent. Populace isn’t talking. Now strike will start, they’ll say doctors should remember oath! It’s ok o
