IS THIS AN 1NSULT OR A CHALLENGE? 🤔
The other day at work, I met an African man for the first time and after exchanging greetings, he asked me how long I have been a nurse in the UK 🇬🇧 and I said up to 3 years.
Then he asked “why are you still a band 5 nurse instead of band 6. You should be a band 6 nurse by now. Nigerians no dey carry last oh”.
I smiled and then it got me thinking 🤔 “is this an 1nsuIt or a challenge? why am I still a band 5 nurse?”
So let’s talk 👇
If you’ve been a nurse in the UK for more than 3 years, why are you still a Band 5?
No judgement - let’s hear and learn from each other.
Well shaa, I have kukuma taken it as a challenge. If you see any band 6 role please let me know 🤗
