Major Challenges Facing The Nursing Practice In Nigeria.. by Mobolajifanny(m): 4:07pm On Oct 27, 2018
There is need to change the practice of nursing in Nigeria from performing roles of assistance to a proffession, driven by science and research through innovative leadership and modern technology.

Stagnation experienced in the profession on slow responses to innovation in the global health industry, intrusion of quacks as practitioners and weak administrative support which affects health care delivery expected in the 21st century noting that introduction of computer education into training curriculum of various programme by training institution must be encouraged.

We need to focus on facilitating acccesssibilty to qualitating technology that would provide opportunity for practicing nurses to acquire more know knowledge concerning current trends in the profession.


Lack of commitment on the components of nurses-several nurses just practice for practicing sake they do not see the intricacies of nursing as a care from nurse specialist rather they are committed to other issues of life than nursing care practice.

Non --participation in making policy. Policy making on health issues is a major challenges to nursing practice.

Lack of interest in research :Nursing proffession aims at providing quality nursing care by providing a scientific base for the practice of nursing. Thus, the input of research has become neccessary.. Unfortunately, only very few nurses are interested in research even through it is the responsibility of all nurses to do improve nursing care.


Quackery ---The incursion of quackery in nursing has been a big threat to nursing practice in Nigeria. Everybody in white answer a nurse.

RESOLUTION
There should be reinforcement of the usage of the nursing and midwifery standards of practice.
The four core areas of nursing I. e curative, preventive,education,and inspectorate should be made functional.
Evidence based nursing practice should be adopted through research.
Nurses and midwives should be allowed to practice according to the dictates of their curriculate all levels of health care.
The nursing and midwifery council of Nigeria should fast track the process of introducing entrepreneurship into the curriculum of nursing training atll level.

its true that Healthcare professionals earn the most in USA and Uk compared to their Nigeria counterparts. but also consider cost and standard of Living too. A fairly comfortable room in London cost about 600pounds though a doctor (junior doctor) goes home with about 2100 pounds monthly after tax the cost of living is better.
but youll have to consider several other factors, standard of living, expertise, equipment, facilities and improved working conditions, this makes the bulk of the reasons doctors/nurses leave for abroad. and yes the pay is fairly beyond average compared to people in other professions in Uk.
To answer your question yes a nurse in Uk or US will earn better than a doctor in Nigeria.
but a Doctor in US or UK of similar experience years will earn a lot higher than a nurse and 3x more if the people becomes an attending physician(US) or Consultant (UK).
if you have ya way write your NCLEX or Uk licencing exams and leave. Its a lot easier outside

End of discussion. Since living in Canada, I have seen nurses become the overall head of Health ministries of a province (called state in Nigeria).

Drs in Nigeria earn peanuts. Same as other professions too.
As an example, Police recruits earn as high as $80,000 in North America and most of them don't even face 1/8 of the danger the Nigerian police officer face on a daily basis.

There is need to change the practice of nursing in Nigeria from performing roles of assistance to a proffession, driven by science and research through innovative leadership and modern technology.

Stagnation experienced in the profession on slow responses to innovation in the global health industry, intrusion of quacks as practitioners and weak administrative support which affects health care delivery expected in the 21st century noting that introduction of computer education into training curriculum of various programme by training institution must be encouraged.

We need to focus on facilitating acccesssibilty to qualitating technology that would provide opportunity for practicing nurses to acquire more know knowledge concerning current trends in the profession.


Lack of commitment on the components of nurses-several nurses just practice for practicing sake they do not see the intricacies of nursing as a care from nurse specialist rather they are committed to other issues of life than nursing care practice.

Non --participation in making policy. Policy making on health issues is a major challenges to nursing practice.

Lack of interest in research :Nursing proffession aims at providing quality nursing care by providing a scientific base for the practice of nursing. Thus, the input of research has become neccessary.. Unfortunately, only very few nurses are interested in research even through it is the responsibility of all nurses to do improve nursing care.


Quackery ---The incursion of quackery in nursing has been a big threat to nursing practice in Nigeria. Everybody in white answer a nurse.

RESOLUTION
There should be reinforcement of the usage of the nursing and midwifery standards of practice.
The four core areas of nursing I. e curative, preventive,education,and inspectorate should be made functional.
Evidence based nursing practice should be adopted through research.
Nurses and midwives should be allowed to practice according to the dictates of their curriculate all levels of health care.
The nursing and midwifery council of Nigeria should fast track the process of introducing entrepreneurship into the curriculum of nursing training atll level.
