The Head of the Department of Nursing Sciences, Taraba State University, Jalingo, Dr Kilor Nfor, has charged newly qualified nurses and midwives to approach their profession with dedication, compassion and a strong sense of responsibility.
Dr Nfor gave the charge following the combined convocation ceremony of the Taraba State College of Nursing Sciences, Jalingo, where hundreds of graduates were formally admitted into the nursing and midwifery profession.
He described nursing as more than a means of livelihood, stressing that it is a calling centred on preserving human life and providing compassionate care to patients.
The university don urged the graduates to maintain professionalism and exercise caution in their dealings with patients, noting that the attitude of healthcare workers can have a significant impact on patients’ recovery and experience in health facilities.
Dr Nfor also emphasised the importance of teamwork, urging the new professionals to maintain cordial relationships with doctors, patients, relatives and other healthcare workers to ensure effective healthcare delivery.
He commended the graduates for their resilience and commitment to their studies, encouraging them to embrace continuous learning and uphold the ethical standards of the profession.
The former Provost of the Taraba State College of Nursing and Midwifery also commended Governor Agbu Kefas for investments in the education sector, particularly the free education policy, reduction in tuition fees and upgrading of infrastructure at the college.
He said the interventions would contribute significantly to human capital development and strengthen the institution’s capacity to produce qualified nurses and midwives for the state’s healthcare system.
Dr Nfor congratulated the graduates and urged them to uphold the reputation of their institution through professionalism, discipline, compassion and competence wherever they find themselves.
