*AN ANALOGY OF THE STATEMENT " FOLLOW- UP SYNDROME " IN NURSING AND MIDWIFERY EMPLOYMENT SETTING - A TURNING POINT OR AN  END POINT*

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

Just over the last decade,it appears that what the prophets wrote about the Noble Profession is becoming a reality or an  illusion. 

It is undeniable fact that , the most developed world  never have everything in their disposal  , nevertheless their system keeps on getting better every day. The phrase "*follow up*" has become very popular and has pervaded many Social Media Platforms regarding Nurses and Midwives employment issues.  It has become a norm and nothing can be said without it . Going forward, follow me closely with the normalization process of the  "follow up syndrome" phrase .

*TRAINEES NURSES AND MIDWIVES*
In our society  today where  the wrong is often notice than goodnight has brought us where we are today.  Before nursing Trainees allowance will be paid,we have to make follow -up  . This is usually  done to draw the authorities attention to the fact that something has gone wrong.  It has to take  a cycle  before the right thing is done. I often become confuse and suspicious as to what is happening with our systems. Is that our systems are not working enough to identify those challegeges or is intentional ?   Do we always need to tell people to  do the right thing ?.  What happens if they are not told?.  The approach in which the government has adopted in paying nursing Trainees allowance has signal  a systemic failure and the need  for immediate response to restore sanity in the system. If you are a concern party  , you will notice that sometimes this  *Follow- up* syndrome  takes the forms of Press Releases, Vigils , Picketing and demonstrations   to get the attention of the authorities to address some petinent issue. Thank God we live in a country where constitutional democracy is up held.


  To set the record straight   ,the nursing Trainees allowance has been on arrears for over 13 months and  all the necessary *follow ups*   has been made to draw these authorities attention to the   urgency of the situation but to no avail.   The problem we are told they are having is *TECHNICAL CHALLENGE*. 13 Months with this Challenge? Hmmm. The heaven they promised us is now a hell . Probably this write up may be a nother follow up on the 13 Months arrears allowance.  If they are no technicians at _the MOH to solve the "Technical Challenge" problem,then let's import them from the_ _developed countries_ .



*GRADUATE UNEMPLOYED NURSES AND MIDWIVES*

For the first time in our  country history ,we have a group or union called *GUNMA*. I guest if this was some where, the authorities could have dissolved such union with immediate employment. But what do we see ?.  They have Follow  all the due process involve in *follow- up*  syndrome but to no avail. Three years of chronic unemployment for these groups is something that we should not be entertaining with partisan Politics.  But regrettably ,it is very sad to still find members of this domain having Pro and contra among themselves . For these particular Group ,I may argue that *Follow - up*  may  not be  their remedy again.  Probably they need  something better.

 Let's all join hands in finding an appropriate remedy for they have exhausted what they can to get the right thing done ,and still trying. May God be their helper . 


Following the above scenario, one could notice that something  might went wrong.  What could that be ? Let's leave it to the expertise to debate . We all need put all hands on deck  to discover an alternative way of bridging the follow up syndrome  in the current dispensation.

Nurses and Midwives live matter .
Nurses and Midwives deserve better
TRAINEES NURSES AND MIDWIVES DESERVE BETTER.

Our duty is to break the systemic cycle that has failed us over the last decade.

But I personally encourage you to read,share and suggest remedies.

SCHOOLING FOR EDUCATION TO GET UNEMPLOYMENT

SCHOOLING FOR EDUCATION TO GET UNEMPLOYMENT Right now, there is a child sitting somewhere with both hands on his chin, his elbows on a wooden table and his eyes affixed to a teacher who knows just as much as to make everyone else look dumb. There is another child who finds it much of a problem to solve and find “x”; the same “x” that is written boldly, staring right back at him. He has no idea why he has to find a letter that he can already see. But, of course, he will fail the exams if he doesn’t find a way to start finding letters that are not lost. So he crams the solution. Theories, laws, formulae, and methods among others, flood the subjects taught in school. Students now know the answers to most of the questions and cannot tell how the answers can solve real life problems. It was surely in the thought of this, that Roger Lewin made the famous quote: “Too often, we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.” When a teacher tells a child that “A is for Ap...

 *ROTATION NURSES AND MIDWIVES IN THE UPPER WEST REGION DEMAND 8 MONTHS SERVICE ALLOWANCE* Rotation nurses and midwives association is an association that seeks not only to authenticate the voice of all national service personnel within the nursing and midwifery fraternity but also to ensure the collective welfare of it's members. The named association is the only mouth piece of all national service personnel's within the nursing and midwifery outreach The rotational phase is yet another important phase of the nursing and midwifery education process for every trainee. This is the period the bridges professional nursing and midwifery practice and student education.

CHILDREN'S FROM POOR BACKGROUND, LET'S DREAM BIG AND MAKE IT TO THE TOP

**__CHILDREN'S FROM POOR BACKGROUND , LET'S DREAM BIG AND MAKE IT TO THE TOP*__ Photo credit: lyne image. "Education is not a name of any degree or certificate that can be shown to others as a proof. Education is the name of our attitudes, Actions and Language"- Barack Obama The class system in Ghana  is so real and the realities that come with it are so harsh. No Ghanaian  can deny the fact that there is an existing class system, where there are the rich and the poor. Of course, this is a global phenomenon, but I will discuss the realities in Ghana because I am a Ghanaian  and these are the things I have noticed. People at each end of the divide have several assumptions about each other. A poor person often think that children of the rich only have their parents’ wealth to rely on and are not as competent as their parents’ money portray them to be. The poor assume that the connection of the rich is what paves way for them, and not because they are ...
