"Practising Nursing In Nigeria Is Not For The Weak"- Lady Who Earned N27,000 Salary In Nigeria Relocates To Work As Registered Nurse in UK

A Nigerian lady who is a qualified nurse has shared how much salary she was earning on her first job.

The lady said her first salary as a qualified nurse was N27,000, which was hardly enough to take her home.

She said many hospitals in Nigeria prefer to employ auxiliary nurses and pay them ridiculous amounts as salary.

 

A Nigerian lady said when she started working as a nurse, her salary was N27,000. The salary was small, so she relocated to the UK to look for greener pastures in the nursing profession. 

In a post on TikTok, Delight said hospitals in Nigeria don't pay nurses well. She said many of the hospitals would instead employ auxiliary nurses and pay them a pittance. Delight noted that practising nursing in Nigeria was not for the fainthearted, considering the small salary. 

Her words on TikTok: "Practising Nursing in Nigeria is not for the weak… Most hospitals pay ridiculous amount… they would rather employ an auxiliary than pay nurses well."
