Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?
I became a nurse after several attempts of writing exams to get addmission into the university failed. While i was in primary sch i always wanted to work in the hospital and i grew up thinking that the only way to do so was to be a doc. An uncle told me about the sch of nursing form in 2000, i bought the form in 2001 got addmitted in 2002,finished 2005 and i've enjoyed every moment.

Your Worst Mistake
My worst mistake was the day i was supposed to add 130mg of quinine into 130mls of 4.3% dextrose saline via a buretrol but i ended up putting it through the wrong opening of the buretrol so the whole quinine poured out. What really made me feel bad was how the child's mother yelled at me and the nurse in charge didn't help matters when she found out. She called me and spoke to me in such a way that i felt incompetent i felt like not resuming to work the next day. Our supervisors always tell us nurses don't make mistakes but they forget we're human and could make mistake. I think the important thing is to learn from our mistakes and contiune our good work and not to give up. I'm glad i reported to duty the next day coz i was able to apologise to the child's mother once again.:blushkiss

How much autonomy do nurses have??
nurses do have a degree of autonomy but it all depends on your specialty and how much of your initiative you want to use.
