B.sc or Diploma?

i have never doubted if nigerian certificates are mostly judged not to be up to international standards, i never dreamt this could also happen within nigeria. i had an interview for a new job and guess what the human resource guy had to say, they dont care i have a B.Sc in nursing and my accident and emergency nursing registration is still pending, so i was offered a staff nurse job based on only my RN/RM qualification.

i even learnt that in government jobs the only difference between a nurse degree holder and diploma holder is that the latter is started on step 1,level 8 while the former on step 0,level 8........ funny:o

to think i spent 6years in the university just for a "step 1,level 8" job when i could easily had done a three year diploma nursing course!

please some one tell me thats what obtains in nursing practise in your country?

(i sincerely want to apologise to all those whom my post on "arranged marriage" slighted, i regret my insensitivity).

    Oh yeah I understand your frustrations, but it happens the same in Brazil where I grew up. Well, I have an ADN degree,now I am debating if I finish my BSN or acquire another Bachelor's degree, obtained certifications in E.R, Trauma, and now will take ICU classes( hemodynamics, intraaortic baloon, heart bypass, etc..

    Well, retake those courses , and you ll be fine because you have prior knowledge. I hope that you do well and achieve your goals.

    take care and good luck.

    Joe what part of Brazil are you from? My neighbor is from Niteroi. How is the nursing educational system there in Brazil? Do they have RN's or are they called something different?

    Hey yeah only RN's with their BSN they usually supervise the nurse technicians( LVN), amazingly they do most of the procedures( IV's, foley's, etc.. If they have certifications , they can work in the ICU.

    Also assistente de enfermeira is the CNA , like we all know they do other stuff.

    I graduated here in the US about 4 yrs ago. What about you? Are you from Cuba?

    take care Niteroi is another city just across the ponte niteroi bridge that links Rio to Niteroi. It is pretty nice there.
