"My dear Nurse in Utero, there’s so much out there ooo, it’s not as easy as it is. Started studying Nursing in 2017, became a Registered Nurse in 2022, just got inducted this year💔. Make God no let person go bad school ! The koko is, after dedicating 8 years of my life, I’m still here searching for internship space.
"Your case will be 10 times better than mine in Jesus name, but please drop the hype, it’s still alot out there for nurses. Mind you, I have my BNsc and RN and I finished with a 2.1 (4.0), I’m a supposed hotcake !
"Wish you luck Junior colleague, God will make things work differently and better for you but in the meantime don’t put all your eggs in nursing, I’m an entrepreneur and I own two brands already, get something outside nursing, it’ll help your mental health."
