The Year 2024; Your Race or Your Pace



As we embark on the new year, it is awesome that you have set personal development and career goals. This is day three and you may have not even started and that is okay. It all depends on your timeline and the measures you've put in place. 

While your initial motivation is a powerful force, it's crucial to recognise that discipline is the driving force behind every goal accomplishment. It's natural to feel a surge of enthusiasm and motivation at the start, but as time progresses, you may not always be motivated and you may not witness instant outcomes. This is where discipline becomes your anchor. Be patient with the process, and periodically reassess your plan. If necessary, tweak your strategies, and even when you realise you're doing everything right, keep doing what you're doing. You're definitely progressing and you may not feel like it. 

Don't be disheartened if you don't meet a set deadline. Don't be too hard on yourself if the progress is slower than you expected. Else you'd be tempted to fall out of the race and think what you're aiming at is not for you. 

The essential factor is consistently investing effort into your objectives. Focus on the tasks at hand rather than dwelling on perceived timing failures. Your journey is distinctive, and progress is more important than adhering strictly to a predefined schedule.

If you encounter setbacks, take a moment to reevaluate and adjust your course. Success is a culmination of sustained effort, adaptability, and resilience. Remember, comparing your pace to others' is counterproductive; it's your individual journey that matters most. Just focus on yourself. 

Pick the  Race and not necessarily the Pace.

Embracing Technological Advancement In Nursing

Image
All around us there is a blossoming union, which emanates from a deep embrace; a partnership of key forces, giving rise to a seed called new possibilities. These key forces are the thirst for knowledge, human creativity, and the compassion of that heart seeking to relieve the sick of pain and restore him to health. Technology has come, and is still on its way; because all we've seen is but a tip of the iceberg. It has come and it has come to stay. I like to think of Technology as the field of study where scientific knowledge is applied to create solutions to real or perceived human problems. Nursing is a care centered branch of health care. It truly is the care in health care. Virginia Anderson defined nursing as, "Assisting the individual, sick or well..." Nursing encompasses autonomous and collaborative "care" of individuals of all ages, families, groups and communities, sick or well and in all settings. Nursing includes the promotion of health, prevention of ...

QUALITIES OF A TRAILBLAZER : The Spirit of Enquiry.

Do you wake up each morning to see, and hear about new exploits around the world, and wonder who the masterminds are? Have you ever wondered how these important and useful developments in the various fields of life came to be? Even in the nursing discipline, have you ever wondered who those people behind the several advancements and progress in the field are? These people are referred to as trailblazers. According to Cambridge Dictionary, a trailblazer is the first person to do something or go somewhere; who shows that it is also possible for other people to do the same. The Collins Dictionary defines a trailblazer as a person who is the leader in a particular field, especially one who does a particular thing before anyone else does. This means that a trailblazer is a pacesetter; a frontier; an inventor. They do seemingly impossible things, take huge risks, and create new things; showing others that it is possible to do the same.  Trailblazers have excellent qualities including: co...

FINDING YOUR NICHE; HEALTH POLICY MAKERS OR HEALTH POLICY EXECUTORS

Image
The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery…” How about I tell you that with inappropriate systems, the “unique function” is the same as useless?  By the way, that was Virginia Henderson’s definition of nursing. (1966) Attending the Institute of Nursing Research Nigeria's conference in 2023 profoundly transformed my view of the nursing profession.  We can’t be so dependent on the foundation of nursing, pathophysiology of diseases and our interventions as nurses, that we forget the need to have a mind of our own.  In this article, I am to talk about the role of health policymakers and health policy executors, who in this case, are nurses. When you come into the field as a nursing student, you're faced with several directions you can take in your career.  Of all the multiple specialities in nursing,   1. You can either become a nurse policymaker or the tr...
