Nigerian Lady Whose First Salary As A Nurse At Ibadan Was 20K Shares Her Success As She Relocated To The UK And Now Working As A Manager

A young Nigerian lady named
@prodnurseMJ has shared her career journey on twitter, and she was so determined to succeed and she conquered.

Read her post below as shared on twitter:

“A lot of people assume I’ve had it easy! But no! Far from it!

My first salary as a Nurse was 20k Naira
in a substandard hospital in Ibadan

I was sent out by a friend who literally made me quit my 45k job for a promised job in Lagos, which I later found out didn’t even exist!

I moved to Unilag female hostel with a childhood friend that was kind enough to let me stay (chai the bug bites😭)

Few months after traveling back and forth Lagos to Ibadan, I got another job in Victoria Island! where I also lived partly because of the distance & tfare to mainland on a 75k salary after deductions

I wanted a better life so bad, i went back to LUTH for perioperative nursing.. I eventually had to quit my job to focus on school. I also learnt baking in the midst of all this

Finished, and started another job hunt, got another 108k paying job in Ikoyi… eventually moved to UK 2019….

Which was one of my best decisions…
Started as a band 5 nurse, bagged a Degree, passed NCLEX-RN, and got a promotion to Band 7 Theatre Manager!

A very long story! it’s not been a easy ride! But he// yeah! I’m indeed proud of myself! 🍾

Above all, grateful to God!

I hope this motivates you to chase your dream fearlessly! Your only limitation is YOU”.
