The Igala Nurses Association of Nigeria (INAMA), Abuja Chapter, has charged students from the Yagongwo College of Nursing Sciences, Kuje, Abuja to exhibit characters that will promote the nursing profession.
Dr Christie Awunor, President of the association, made the call during a visit to the school to commemorate the 2025 nurses week programme, a global event celebrated between May 6 and May 12.

Awunor stated that the visit was also to mentor the students, and prepare them for the task ahead in the nursing profession, inline with the theme of the 2025 celebration 'Our nurses our future'.

"This year the Igala Nurses have chosen to visit college of Nursing Kuje, to celebrate with them inline with the theme for the year, "Our nurses our future", these are the future nurses that we have.
"We are equally here to improve the knowledge of these young nurses, a lot of them have different notion on why they are in the nursing profession .

"Many of these young nurses think  nursing is just a bedside activity they should have, but nursing is beyond that. As a nurse you can do so many other thing.

"What we have learnt today or taught the students is for them to look beyond nursing as a bedside activities. Nurses can be leaders of tomorrow, they can be nurse entrepreneurs, they can be nurse educators. 

"Nurses can also be in public health, they can be advocate for their patients that are within the hospitals. We want the nurses to be voices for the profession, and this is because nursing is a noble profession.
 "Nursing profession is dynamic, it is  responsive, we want the nurses who are going to be the future of the profession to have that knowledge so as to be able to do well," she said.

Awunor also called on the young nurses to leverage on technology in transforming the healthcare delivery system,  which she said is beyond sitting and giving patients injections and medication.  
The President noted that not all nurses are called, but that some are made, while calling on those that are made to jettison the mindset of travelling abroad to make money after obtaining the training.

"Nursing is about caring for people, healing the sick, and supporting the community. We want you to see the need to support the people in their community rather than going abroad for the money. 

"You can still learn more and give your best to the patient and the healthcare delivery system. On our part, INAMA will continue to give it best to Nigeria societies, we other NGOs, well meaning Nigerians to support our course so that we can give our best., " she stressed.

"I think they have spent close to three hours now talking to our students, they have been talking about effective communication, effective hospital, and healthcare management and many, these are knowledge base issues. 

"This knowledge has added to the wisdom of our students, we believe this knowledge will help them to do their best when they go out for the practicals in the healthcare centres, or in the hospitals.

"This is a welcome idea on our part, the Igala students in this school are proud of this association, it must continue to come to our school, this shouldn't be the end," he said.

Miss Chime Virginia, President of the Student Union Government (SUG) in the college also expressed her appreciation to the association, saying that it  impacted knowledge in so many ways on the students.

She said that what the association taught the student has added value and created awareness about what they hope to see when they leave the school to practice the profession. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
