Who is a Registered Nurse?
A registered nurse is a nurse who has graduated from a nursing program and met the requirements outlined by the Nursing and midwifery council of Nigeria to obtain a nursing license. An RN's scope of practice is determined by legislation, and is regulated by a professional body/Council.
A registered Nurse is an individual who has graduated from an approved or accredited school/college/ Department of nursing, passed the RN Examination and is licensed by the board of nursing to provide patient care.
Who is an Auxiliary Nurse?
Auxiliary Nurses/Nursing Assistance carry out basic nursing procedures and take care of patients on a less specialized level under the supervision of a registered nurse.
An Auxiliary Nurse must be registered with the Nursing Council of that particular country she’s practicing.
Why is Auxiliary Nursing Quackery in Nigeria?
Countries have standardized methods of how nurse assistants should practice and the level of education needed but can't be equated with the sort of quackery we are witnessing here in Nigeria.
In other countries, there are boards to regulate these workers and it is much needed for legal backing.
Do we have it here in Nigeria?
NO.
There are colleges of health technology that trains health attendants who are certified to assist nurses and other medical professionals in various areas.
There shouldn’t be a shortcut to formal education especially when it deals with human lives.
Auxiliary Nursing Certificate is not recognized by the NUC or any educational body thus it is not useful outside the practice of some private hospitals.
Not too late to take a step of success
Better yourself and be stay safe always
