Ms. Yagazie!

Again, this is not because the nurse did not attend ward round. This is a nurse doing what she is not allowed to do and doing it ignorantly. Where in this world is a nurse who is not a prescriber allowed to prescribe medication?? Let’s be honest about things. I am a nurse and I don’t see any reason a nurse should join ward round except MDT. If you work abroad, you cannot ask any nurse to join ward round. They don’t even have that time. And if they want to, it is a choice. And in hospitals where it’s a must for everyone to join, nurses would be the one to anchor it… you are not there to teach me anything. I’m there to input stuff. If I learn while you are trying to teach your student, good for me… But don’t talk to me like a student. I am not. If the type of ward rounds that most Nigerian doctor anchor happens in abroad, many of the Nigeria doctors, will likely loose their job. You cannot ask me to go and look for stethoscope for you, you can’t ask me to go and look for patient file for you, I won’t even do it, you can’t be asking me question that I didn’t prepare for in front of patient, you can’t ask me anything and shame me for not knowing it. I am a nurse, I don’t have to know 99% of your job before you see me as your colleague. Again, ward round is not a must. If the nurse wants to, the doctor should accommodate it but not demand it…

A Doctor’s ward round, Is a Doctor’s ward round, As the name literally implies. It is his or her ward round. Nurses, Pharmacists, Physiotherapists, Dietitians, all have ward rounds too. Not a failed health system. Just a sad knowledge deficit on your part.

Nurses ought to join Doctors wardrounds. If you've not been doing that, you need to start. Even if it is a house officer, join that rounds,unless he/she's just doing a check check in with the patients. If he/she is doing procedures, you should assist.

"With loyalty will I endeavour to aid the physician in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care" (Florence Nightingale pledge of 1893) Where I did my NYSC nurses do their own rounds, then follow physicians for their ward rounds, take note of important changes such as medication during rounds and assist physicians for every procedure. But in public teaching hospitals just forget about it, that's the ghetto, assisting a physician is termed slavery. Tell them to set up things for basic cannulation some of them will refuse and tell you that they are not your slave but one thing they forget is that, they are the ward managers, the patient has to pay for the cannulas and hospital management has entrusted you with that responsibility, so how are you going to know the exact number of cannulas the doctor used if you don't bring it out yourself?

Menya, you cannot "get" breast cancer from a man, no matter how it runs in their family. Breast cancer is not a sexually transmitted disease. Kissing, sex, sharing a home, or marrying someone does not transmit breast cancer.
