Tema-Ghana. June 11, CDA Consult – A registered general nurse at International Maritime Hospital (IMaH), Ms. Joseline Adjoa Enchill, has encouraged prospective nurses to do their research into the history of the academic institution they wish to enrol in and the programmes that most suit their needs.
Although obtaining a diploma certificate will take less time, both private and public businesses prefer hiring nurses with higher qualifications, as Ms. Enchill indicated that most hospitals and private practises favoured hiring Registered Nurses who had degree certificates.
“Some prospective nurses could choose to finish a two-year certificate programme rather than devote four years to completing an undergraduate degree study before beginning their careers.
You can become a nurse more rapidly by using these paths, but you won’t have the same degree of authority as a registered nurse, she continued.
Ms. Enchill stated at the Ghana News Agency Tema Regional Office weekly initiative “Your Health! Our Collective Responsibility,” which aims to promote health-related communication and provide a platform for the dissemination of health information in order to influence individual health choices through improved health literacy.
The public health advocacy platform “Your Health! Our Collective Responsibility” was created by the Ghana News Agency’s Tema Regional Office to look at the elements of four different health communication strategies: informing, instructing, convincing, and promoting.
She emphasised the necessity of educating the public about the significance of finishing any educational requirements required by your state and enrolling in an accredited nursing school.
Being qualified as a Registered Nurse requires enrolling in a nursing programme that is accredited and meeting any academic requirements imposed by the state, just like any other career path.
“Becoming a registered nurse is a lengthy process. Nursing education normally lasts four years, including coursework, clinical rotations, and on-the-job training, she pointed out.
She said that for those who wanted to update their credentials and receive more income, there were also brief nursing courses available online and in colleges.
The IMaH Nurse warned the public against offering payments in exchange for posting, highlighting how some miscreants were coming up with ominous ways to con people.
Ms Enchill acknowledged that there was a problem with bribery in the nursing industry, but she added that because nurses were cleared and posted in a systematic manner, qualified nurses looking for work shouldn’t fall for these scams.
“Your Health! Our Collective Responsibility” is a part of a cooperative effort to build a channel for the distribution of health information, according to Mr. Francis Ameyibor, Regional Manager of Ghana News Agency Tema.
The public can be made more sensitive by raising awareness of a health issue, raising the degree of knowledge available on the subject, and making the issue or topic more prominent, according to the speaker’s analysis of the available research.
Therefore, Mr. Ameyibor urged both traditional and social media managers to spend some time recruiting medical specialists to inform the public, claiming that “the education we offer today through our media platform may save a life tomorrow.”
