Nurse laments over job interview
In a video posted via her official account @elidadsophia_rn, she lamented the low pay and questioned the worth of pursuing a career in bedside nursing.
According to her, she had attended an interview at the hospital, where she was informed that the position came with a monthly salary of N50,000.
The young nurse felt that the salary was inadequate, considering the cost of transporting herself to work, which she noted had become increasingly expensive.
In her words:
“I went for an interview and they said they’ll pay N50k. You see why I don’t like bedside nursing. Tell me why I woke up this morning, took my bath, wore my shirt and went to a hospital to apply. I stayed there for like an hour and then I left. They called me back and I went to stay for about two hours again. The MD looked at my CV and asked if I had experience. I told him I have experience. He now told me that salary is N50k that he will pay me. Me. He went further to say it’s three shifts. How much is transport? Transport has even reach N39k.”
