⚕️ Orderliness & Duties
- Nurses administer most drugs, except in the neonatal unit or for specific drugs like labetalol, which you must administer yourself.
- Expect a lot of walking, as the buildings are scattered.
- Mostly digital documentation—folders are used only when the system is down.
- Laptops & desktops are available in most wards (but expect to compete with nurses for them).
-
🍛 Food
- Food & foodstuffs are not cheap—this was surprising at first but you’ll adjust.
- The market is not very close to the hospital, but ₦100 can get you there.
