Nurse compares pay with Nigerian doctors
According to the nurse, it will only take two hours to earn what Nigerian doctors are paid monthly. She reminded people that at times their destinies are sometimes tied to their location.
She noted that it is the same hard work and intelligence, but the reward is completely different, referring to the pay difference in Nigeria and abroad.
She advised people to relocate, grow or level up if life presents them with such opportunities, stressing that one's comfort zone rarely changes the person's bank account.
"For those of you Nigerian Dr who look down on Nurses just know that as a Registered Nurse , 2 hours is only what it takes me to earn what a Nigerian Doctor will earn in one month !!!
"No long epistle, just a reminder that sometimes your destiny is heavily tied to your location.
"Same hard work.
"Same intelligence.
"Completely different reward.
"If life gives you the opportunity to grow, relocate, or level up… take it. Comfort zones rarely change bank accounts.
"Respect to every professional grinding back home, but never apologize for choosing a life that expands you."

"Second US nurse making same statement in 24hrs. You’re not earning a Nigerian doctor’s 1 month salary in 2 hrs. A big fat lie. You’re earning in dollars, not naira. Can your two hour earning last you for a month? Let’s stop converting dollars to naira to make us feel good. As it stands, you’re not a rich person in dollar, you’re only rich in naira. Laslas, this is a rage bait so you can qualify for Elon payout."
