Nigerian lawyer turns nurse in US
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian lawyer had narrated how she became a nurse after relocating to the US.
In a video posted on Facebook, she said she moved to the US to do a master's program in human resource management and industrial psychology. However, during her internship year, she said she could not get an intern role or a volunteer service, as no one was willing to hire her for free.
With a desire to stay back and work in the US after her graduation, she said she went back to the drawing board and decided to switch to nursing.
