A nurse from Nigeria working in the United Kingdom was recently dismissed from her role after offering prayers to a sick patient under her care. The nurse, who was assigned to patients with terminal illnesses, felt compelled to pray for one of them. However, this well-intentioned act led to unforeseen consequences.
Following the prayer session, the nurse was unexpectedly summoned by the hospital authorities for questioning. It was revealed that the healthcare facility had summoned her due to concerns surrounding her conduct during the prayer. Ultimately, she was informed that her services were no longer required.
Raks Eseku, a Nigerian mental health nurse based in the UK, shared this unfortunate incident as a cautionary tale for healthcare professionals. She urged Nigerians working in UK health facilities to avoid imposing their personal beliefs on patients, emphasizing the potential repercussions that may arise. However, Eseku chose not to disclose the identity of the nurse who faced dismissal.
