INTERVIEWER:
2. What was your journey into Nursing like?
MR. JOMBO AYOMIDE: Hmm.. My journey into nursing. Yes, it was never in my mind and I have never dreamt of my self studying to become a nurse. In 2015, I applied for medicine, and after jamb and post utme results were out, it turns out that I did not meet up with the cut off and I had to change my course to get admitted into Lasu at that time.
There was a list of options of courses I could choose, and nursing was part of the list, but I never wanted nursing, so I did not select it, I chose mathematics instead.
But the owner of the cafe I used in this process, told me to choose nursing, that I will travel to USA when I am done and there is more opportunities for me to leave this country. So I listened to him, and here we are now, a fourth year nursing Student and I am in love with the profession already.
INTERVIEWER: Lol. Wow.. Very interesting!
Okay next.
3. You must have had ranges of experiences; good and bad.
Could you please share one you probably might never forget in a long time?
MR. JOMBO AYOMIDE: I have had alot of experiences in nursing and sincerely most of my experiences are always good. Smiles.
But one, I think I will not forget is the experience of failing my first clinical exam in first semester 200l. I failed for an obvious reason, "I did not prepare," but at that point to me, I felt like I was never made to be a nurse since I failed my clinical exam. I thought I could just withdraw from the program and start again, but thank God I decided not to. I wrote resit for the exam and I passed.
Thank God
INTERVIEWER: LOL. Thank God indeed.
4. So tell us. Is there anything you do differently as a student nurse?
MR. JOMBO AYOMIDE: (laughs) I am very much interested in personal development and capacity building. Personally, I believe that the challenges of tomorrow will not present themselves same way as the challenges of today, so one way I try to prepare for the future is by planning today.
In a bid to achieve this, I attend capacity building/leadership training and conferences.
I also volunteer for non-goveenmental organisations.
Let me end here.. Lol
INTERVIEWER: I wish you could just continue 😁 Wow. I want to be like you o
But well, let's move on..
5. What would you say is the singular most important challenge to student nurses of the 21st century?
MR. JOMBO AYOMIDE: In a conversation I had with Dr. Rachel, a nurse inventor, in university of Massachusetts,
She opened my eyes to the opportunities we could get as nursing students. And at this point I decided within my self to be more than just a nursing Student. The demands of a 21st century student nurse is much different for that of a 20th century, and the this demands will not be met with 20th century skills or knowledge, I might not be able to speak for student nurses world wide, but I can speak well for Africa and Nigeria. Personally, the singular most important challenge to student nurses in Africa/Nigeria is our eyes are yet to be opened to the opportunities that lies ahead of us, vast and wide opportunities we can't see unless we open our eyes.
But how can we open our eyes to see this opportunity? I think that's a question for another day.
INTERVIEWER: Hmmm. Well said.
6. What's your nursing vision?
MR. JOMBO AYOMIDE: My Nursing Vision. It's of a truth that the perception of our profession in Africa, is untrue of what we are, I wish the world gets to see us differently, but that is not my vision.
My vision for nursing is that we become a profession that will create striking solutions to world health problems through research and technology and also, I love to see a profession that will be a voice to lead in the healthcare sector to achieving the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). This is my vision for our dear profession.
INTERVIEWER: This is so inspiring.
7. Finally sir, what would you say as a parting shot to aspiring nurses, junior and senior colleagues in the profession?
MR. JOMBO AYOMIDE: To our dear senior colleagues, I sincerely want to appreciate you for your efforts and inputs to bringing our profession to where we are now. If not for your efforts we will not even be talking about how wet can move further.
And to my fellow colleagues, aspiring and junior colleagues,
We have come a long way to where we are now, but we have a longer way to where we are going, so my advice, persevere the current challenges, prepare for tomorrow's victories today, so together we can pursue our dream for a better profession.
INTERVIEWER: This is so so inspiring. Thank you so much for the time sir.
MR. JOMBO AYOMIDE:
Thanks so much for having me,
God bless you
God bless Nursing
INTERVIEWER: It's an honour.
