BY ADEMOLA JOHNSON AJUWON AND CHRISTOPH PIMMER Around 12,000 students are enrolled in Nigeria’s nursing schools each year. As it is in many health professions, these students often find it challenging after graduation when they search for and start their first job. They feel unprepared and have difficulties to put their knowledge from school into practice. In addition, many feel unwelcome in their teams, which results in a sense of professional isolation and high drop-out rates.
