Prof. Oluwatosin Abimbola(Rtd), of the Department of Nursing, University of Ibadan,
has urged medical practitioners, especially nurses, to be passionate in their profession.
Abimbola gave the advice while delivering a convocation lecture at Oyo State College of Nursing and Midwifery (OYSCONME), Ibadan on Wednesday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the convocation lecture was part of the institution’s activities to mark its 74th anniversary.
Abimbola, who spoke on the topic “Caring, the Core of Nursing”, said caring was the core of the nursing profession, including spiritual
care, which comprised psychological and physical care.
She emphasised that “caring is central to nursing practice and promotes health better than medical care.”
According to her, caring comprises compassion, competence, confidence, conscience, commitment and comportment.
“Always comport yourselves even when you are not in uniform, how you comport yourself even in social gatherings matters a lot.
“If your chosen nursing specialty has all the high-tech equipment for practice and caring is not at the centre of it, it’s not nursing.
“Caring is the connecting factor of all areas of nursing.”
She advised students and graduates of OYSCONME to be open to continuous learning in the course of their practice.
She said “read journal articles regularly, it will stimulate research ideas, be determined and always act with integrity in all professional endevours.”
Prof. Temitope Alonge, who was the Chairman of the occasion and former Chief Medical Director, University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan,
commended OYSCONME “for always producing students with excellent results.”
Alonge also commended the management of the nursing and midwifery college for not only teaching the students well but impacting morals in them.
The Provost of the college, Dr Gbonjubola Owolabi, said that the institution did its convocation sparingly while this would be the first time students
would graduate and convocation held in the same academic year.
She said “we are able to do it because we have close to 200 students that finished, henceforth, our convocation will now be done annually.
“We are privileged to draw from the wealth of experience of the chairman and guest lecturer, so, I urge all to tap into this great opportunity.”
NAN reports that activities to mark the college’s 74th anniversary started on Friday with Jumm’at Service and on Sunday with Thanksgiving
at the institution’s Mosque and Chapel.
Other activities held so far in the course of the week included health walk and exercise, novelty match and free medical check-up for members
of the college’s neighbouring community. (NAN)
