Alausa said Nigerian nurses practising at home have significant opportunities to enjoy their professional careers and also have fulfilment in serving their country rather than traveling abroad. “We are committed in this administration and it is part of the priorities under the human resources issues. One area we want to address is creating an enabling environment for all our health workers.
“The nursing curriculum in Nigeria, the way the Registrar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, has structured the nursing curriculum in Nigeria, is one of the best in the world and I mean it. You don’t get this kind of clear, directional longitudinal career progression in nursing that you get in Nigeria in anywhere in the world.” “I have worked in America and I practised in America.
America is meant to be the gold standard but what we are seeing in terms of career structured nursing education in Nigeria today, nobody can compare to what we have. Alausa said, “ I am giving you very verifiable data. When we came in as a government, we were enrolling just about 28,000 nursing students across all our nursing training institutions in the country.
