This is one phrase I hear so often during clinical postings....

โ€œDuring my timeโ€ฆโ€

During my time, we didn't have Google.

During my time, we memorised everything.

During my time, students were tougher.

During my time, we didn't have all these technologies helping us.

And honestly, sometimes it gets exhausting.

But lately, I've been thinking about it differently.

Yes, nursing students today have access to things previous generations didn't have. We have smartphones, digital textbooks, online resources, medical apps and even AI tools that can help us learn.

But having access to a tool doesn't automatically make someone lazy.

The real question is:

What are you using the technology for?

Are you using it to avoid thinking, or are you using it to think better?

Because there is a difference.

I deeply respect nurses who trained before us. They learned under very different conditions, and there is so much wisdom in their experience.

But we are training for a different healthcare system.

You cannot keep training 21st century nurses with 19th century tools and expect 21st century results.

Technology is not here to replace clinical judgement, critical thinking or hands-on skills, it is here to support them. And a nurse who completely refuses to embrace useful digital tools may eventually find themselves struggling to keep up with the profession.

The answer isn't to throw away everything the older generation taught us.

And it isn't to blindly embrace every new technology either.

We need both.

The wisdom of experience and the tools of the present.

Because nursing is not supposed to remain where it was.

It is supposed to keep moving.

Maybe instead of always asking, โ€œHow did we do it during our time?โ€

We should also ask:

Six Weeks. Two Postings.
Friday marked the end of six weeks of clinical posting.

Three weeks in Mental Health Nursing and three weeks in Ophthalmic Nursing.

And honestly, I didn't just learn new things

I learned to look at people differently.

Since my psychiatric posting, I've not been able to look at people exactly the same way again. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I notice people's behaviours more now. Sometimes someone does something and I catch myself wondering what could be happening beneath the surface.

It made me realize just how much we don't know about what people are dealing with.

Mental illness doesn't have a particular face.

It can affect people from different backgrounds, families and social classes. And one thing that really stayed with me was realizing how difficult admission to a mental health facility and treatment can be.
Getting someone admitted, keeping them safe, providing their medications and caring for them takes a lot of resources. The medications aren't always cheap either.

And sometimes, people who cannot afford that care end up on the streets, living with an illness that many people don't understand.

That thought alone changed the way I look at people.

Then came my ophthalmic posting.

And another realization hit me:
Eye problems are everywhere
Cataracts, glaucoma, refractive errors, Eye infections affecting different age groups ranging from 3 months old baby to the elderly.

Things we often take for granted because we wake up and see.

And funny enough, even I wasn't left out.

During my ophthalmic posting, I was diagnosed with myopia and slight astigmatism, and yes, I was given glasses too.

Imagine spending three weeks learning about eye conditions and leaving with glasses. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Six weeks later, I'm leaving with more knowledge, new friends i met and getting to know my colleagues better.

I'm leaving with a stronger appreciation for mental health, prevention, responsible substance use and proper eye care.

And perhaps my biggest lessons are:
1. Avoid substance like a plague o
2. Take care of your mental health
3. Take care of your eyes it's the window with which you see the world.

Because health is one of those things we often appreciate most when we start losing it.

Today, on International Youth Day, I find myself thinking about what it really means to be young.

For a long time, we have heard the phrase, โ€œYouths are the leaders of tomorrow.โ€

But honestly, I think we should start asking a different question:

What are we doing today?

Because young people are already in classrooms, hospitals, communities, organisations and leadership spaces.

We are learning.
We are serving.
We are volunteering.
We are creating.
We are speaking up.
We are making mistakes and learning from them.

And sometimes, we are doing all of this while still trying to figure ourselves out.

I know what that feels like.

I'm still a student. Still learning. Still discovering the kind of woman and professional I want to become. But I've also learned that you don't have to have everything figured out before you start contributing.

Leadership doesn't always begin with a title.

Sometimes, it begins with simply being willing to show up.

To sit at the table.

To listen.

To ask questions.

To serve.

To learn from those who came before you and, eventually, leave something meaningful for those coming after you.

So today, I celebrate young people who are not waiting for permission to make a difference.

We are not just the leaders of tomorrow.

We are part of the work of today.

And perhaps the real question isn't โ€œWhat will young people become?โ€

It's:
๐‘พ๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’‚๐’“๐’† ๐’˜๐’† ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’„๐’๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ, ๐’“๐’Š๐’ˆ๐’‰๐’• ๐’๐’๐’˜?โ€

I can never forget the day during our medical-surgical class when our lecturer asked:

โ€œWho can tell me the physiology behind acupuncture? How does acupuncture relieve pain?โ€

Your girl raised her hand with confidence. ๐Ÿ˜‚

At that point, my knowledge of acupuncture was heavily influenced by the Chinese movies I had watched.

So I started talking about Qi, the traditional concept of vital energy, and meridians, the pathways through which this energy is believed to flow.

I explained that when the energy becomes blocked, illness can result, and acupuncture helps restore the flow and bring the body back into balance.

I said it with so much confidence too๐Ÿ˜ญ chaiii even my classmates were fascinated by my story telling skills๐Ÿ˜Œ

Then my lecturer gave us another perspective.

He explained the physiology behind acupuncture, and I remember sitting there thinking, โ€œWait ooโ€ฆ so this is how it actually works?โ€

From a modern physiological perspective, acupuncture involves stimulating specific points with needles, which can activate nerves and influence pain processing in the nervous system. It may also promote the release of the body's natural pain-relieving substances, including endorphins.

Suddenly, something I had only understood through Chinese movies became a lesson in physiology.

And honestly, I'm glad I was corrected.

Because one thing nursing school keeps teaching me is that confidence is not the same as knowledge.

Sometimes you walk into a classroom thinking you understand something, only to discover there is an entire layer of science you haven't considered.

That day, I didn't just learn about acupuncture.

I learned to stay curious, ask questions, and remain humble enough to say:

โ€œI thought I knew this. Teach me.โ€

And perhaps that is one of the most important attitudes a healthcare professional can have.

On Saturday, I attended a masterclass that reminded me that learning doesn't always have to happen in a classroom.

It was a Zoom masterclass organized by Lions Club for Leos, and we explored three things that genuinely caught my attention:

๐Ÿ. ๐†๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐€๐ˆ/ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ ๐ž๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐

The ATS session was particularly interesting for me because, honestly, that was the first time I had even heard of an ATS.

And guess what?

I discovered that my own CV wasn't ATS friendly. ๐Ÿ˜‚

But beyond the CV lesson, something else happened.

The session on generative AI made me start looking at AI differently.

Not just as something that generates pictures or writes text for you, but as a tool that can help you think, explore ideas and bring concepts to life.

I've always been fascinated by medical terms.

But sometimes, I find myself wondering:

What if we looked beyond the medical definition?

What if apoptosis could teach us something about letting go?

What if regeneration could remind us that something new can grow from what was lost?

What if thrombosis could make us think about the things we build for protection that eventually block our own flow?

And what if mortality could remind us that life was never promised to be forever?

So I decided to experiment.

I took medical terms I've encountered as a nursing student and explored the meanings they could carry beyond the classroom.

Then I used generative AI to help turn those ideas into visuals.

And this carousel is the result.

Medicine has a way of explaining life.

Sometimes, you just have to look closely enough to notice.

This is only the beginning of an idea I'm still exploring.

Which medical term life's meaning resonates with you more?โค๏ธ

Iโ€™d make this feel less like a lecture and more like a quiet observation from someone who has started seeing people differently through nursing.

The Hidden Weight of โ€œIโ€™m Fineโ€

โ€œIโ€™m fine.โ€

How many times have we said those two words when we were anything but fine?

Sometimes, โ€œIโ€™m fineโ€ means, โ€œI don't know how to explain what I'm feeling.โ€

Sometimes it means, โ€œI don't want to bother anyone.โ€

And sometimes, it simply means, โ€œPlease don't ask me again.โ€

I started paying more attention to the things people don't always say.
A person can smile, have a conversation, attend lectures, go to work, post pictures, and still be carrying something heavy inside. That realization changed something for me.

Maybe someone who is usually talkative has become unusually quiet.

Maybe someone who always seems cheerful suddenly withdraws, they keep saying they are fine, but their behaviour tells you they are struggling.

Of course, not every โ€œI'm fineโ€ hides a crisis. We shouldn't assume that it does.

But sometimes, asking one more question can make a difference.

โ€œHow are you really doing?โ€

And then actually staying long enough to listen.

We all know someone who is carrying something we cannot see.

Maybe that's why we should be a little more patient and observant with people.

Because sometimes, โ€œI'm fineโ€ isn't an answer.

It's a shield.

And sometimes, the kindest thing you can do is make someone feel safe enough to put it down.

Mental health is more than just "being mad."

Behind many psychiatric conditions are symptoms that most people have never heard of.

This video is our attempt to bring nursing education beyond the classroom and make it simple for everyone.
Mental health deserves understanding not judgement.

Watch till the end and tell me: which symptom did you learn about for the first time?

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the Abuja Platinum Lions Club Club Quality Initiative(CQI). It was more than a meeting. It was a moment of reflection, learning, and vision. We looked at what has worked, what can be improved, and how the club can continue serving humanity with even greater impact.

One thing that made this experience even more meaningful is that I am now part of the movement to establish the Abuja Platinum Leo Club. For me, this is deeply personal.

Service has always been one of the values I want my life to reflect. Caring for people, supporting communities, promoting health, protecting the environment, fighting hunger, preserving sight, and standing with those in need are not just admirable causes. They are causes I genuinely want to contribute to.

Finding a community of people who share these values feels like finding the right place to grow, serve, and become better.

I am grateful for every person I met yesterday. The conversations were inspiring, the wisdom shared was refreshing, and the warmth with which I was welcomed reminded me that great people still exist. I was especially touched by a wonderful couple whose kindness left a lasting impression on me, God bless you.

I thank God for this opportunity and for connecting me with people who are committed to making the world better, one act of service at a time.

This is just the beginning, and I am excited for the journey ahead.

Here's to service above self, meaningful leadership, and a lifetime of making a difference. ยฉ๏ธ Ezeh Jacinta ๐ŸŒ
