Lady Who Was 13 Weeks Pregnant When She Started Her Nursing Degree Bags 1st Class From The University Of Bedfordshire, UK

A UK-based Nigerian nurse named Floreta Chioma Ojukwu has inspired many internet users after earning a first-class degree in nursing from the University of Bedfordshire, UK.

Taking to her official Instagram page, the young woman revealed that she was 13 weeks pregnant at the start of the course and was advised to postpone her admission, but she refused.

According to her, she went through pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for her newborn baby while she was in college, and now the sacrifices and hard work have paid off as she graduates with a first-class.

She wrote,

“So today, I completed my three years journey to becoming a UK Registered Nurse, Bsc (First Class) in Adult Nursing.

I was 13weeks pregnant when I started this course, people had so many doubts because they thought being pregnant and studying Nursing in the UK is the most difficult thing anyone would do especially if you haven’t found your way around yet. I got to a point where I began to have doubts and questioned my decision.

At this point I knew I had to work harder, to prove myself to the people who had doubts, even to my university who thought that deferring my admission was my best bet. Anyways I had to put in the work and trust me it was a lot of hard work.

Throughout my studies I went through pregnancy, newborn, toddler I did what I had to, just to show that women can achieve whatever they put their mind to irrespective of the circumstance. Being pregnant and able to hold your child is a gift and should feel like it. To everyone/women keep pushing and trust your hard work will pay off. Today I celebrate myself on becoming a Registered Nurse.”
