Eucharia Iheme did not inform readers of her marital status. This is case of kettle calling a pot black. Yes, the nursing profession in the U.S is lucrative, but not when a nurse's holding a single job. If I may inform readers, its worthy to understand that many of the so called nurses in America work two or three jobs to make ends meet. Don't forget also that the taxes are heavy. At the end of the whole saga, the take home pay, after taxes is nothing. If not for the exchage rates, I betcha that American nurses are not doing better than their counterparts back home. If Eucharia Iheme is angling about relocating back home, would be because she can't stand the stress anylonger of having to work two or three jobs . When has Eucharia Iheme became a marriage councilor, when we don't even know about her marital status? Besides, she did inform readers that a greater percentage of Nigerian nurses in U.S hospitals are home wreckers and no better than professional prostitutes on the streets of America. Some of them are prostitutes in hospital gowns, sleeping around wth married men, stealing husbands and lovers. Ladies, if you're reading this, do not allow Ms Iheme to deceive you on whom you marry. If you love a man, please do go for him. I can betcha that Ms. Iheme's not an American educated nursing professional. You may ask, how do I know, but lets leave the answers to the thin air. With all due respect to readers of Iheme's article, I want to inform you that there are many professions far more lucrative and less stressful than nursing in America. Many of the so called Nigerian nurses had collapsed and died on the job because of the crazy attitude for dollars. You be the judge, man.
Let me REinform Readers
Dude get ur facts straight. the nursing profession in America is expected to grow by 20% in the next 8 years. Nursing is very lucrative depending on the level of education you attain. My mother is a Registered Nurse making more than 90,000 thousand a year, and she is def not working more than 1 job. in nursing it depends on the level of education you get and experience. at the lowest level which is a CNA (Clinical Nursing Assistant) you will have to work 2 to 3 jobs and jobs like that are reserved for teenagers. if you go to high school in America you can attain a CNA Certificate while attending high school, but if you go to nursing school for 2 years and attain an LPN, (Licensed Practical Nurse) you will make at lease $45,000 a year at the very least. if you and ur husband are working, one job is more than enough to sustain you and ur family. Please don't try and bad mouth nurses. They save Lives. Nigerian nurses are no like the white American nurses.. they are the ones who steal husbands. Here in America money is everything, if u have no money you will die. even for the simple water you drink if you have no money you will be able to buy it to drink. talk less of if u have children to take care of. Nursing is also a stressful job, its almost like being a doctor and ur on ur feet most of the day going from patient to patient. and you are very liable for each patient you encounter so u have to be very precise. my advise to women is to marry a hard working man that wont depend on you for anything. If u meet a guy and he is lazy, and u see signs that he will not amount to nothing don't marry him. also figure out ur plans for family and who will take care of what before you get married. America is not Nigeria, men are not expected to take care of the women like they are in Africa. everything is 50\50 that is if u meet a poor man. and more than 95 percent of Americans are poor. Just because this is America does not mean money falls from the tree. Life is hard anywhere you go and it is up to you to know what you want in life where ever it may be and work to attain. Nothing good ever comes easy, Unless you have lived in America and have been in an American nurses shoes DO NOT CRITICIZE THIS WOMAN. And I am very sure she is an American trained Nurse, i don't think Naija pals would jeopardize their credibility by posting an article by an impostor. Ur probably like one of the men she was describing thats why u bein so harsh.
