Tatafo Nurse, Uyo (2026)

21/08/2026

So many people have been in my dms asking me, “Is it still worth it to jakpa as a nurse in the UK?”

If you had asked me this question a few months ago, my answer would have been a very confident YES.

But today? Honestly, it’s a YES and NO answer.

The UK nursing landscape has changed oo.

Immigration rules, NHS recruitment policies, visa requirements, sponsorship limitations, rising costs and the general financial pressure of relocating have made the journey much tougher than it used to be.

The pathway can be long, expensive and emotionally draining.

And one thing I don’t want anyone to do is come with the expectation that “once I get to the UK, everything will automatically fall into place.”

It may not.

You need to understand the current policies, research your pathway properly, have a realistic financial plan, and be prepared for delays and changes in the system.

But here’s the YES part.

If you are able to navigate the process, secure the right opportunity, settle into the system and make it to the other side, I still believe it can be worth it 100%.

Not because the UK is perfect or the journey is easy.

And definitely not because nursing abroad is a guaranteed shortcut to wealth.

But because, for the right person, it can still open doors, provide valuable experience, create opportunities for professional growth and give you options you may not have had before.

Don’t stay back simply because you’ve heard the journey is now harder.

Do your research, understand the current UK immigration and NHS policies.

Count the cost.

Have a Plan B.

Then make an informed decision for YOURSELF.

The rules are changing,policies are changing, even the job market.

But if you decide to go, go prepared and not blindly.

And if you’re already on the journey and it feels like everything is taking longer and costing more than you expected, please remember👇

You are not failing, the pathway has genuinely become more challenging.

Is it still worth it?

My honest answer, It depends.

But if you make it to the end, it can absolutely be worth it.

P:S- I no longer talk about this in my dm. Don’t send a message asking what to do and not. Do your research. Thank you👍👍

10, 15 years ago, social media was different.

Content creation wasn’t even the buzzword it is today.

I honestly miss the days of value added content, people like John Obidi and others who came online to teach, share knowledge and build communities.

Where are my community builders? Hei!

I remember when people were rushing, myself inclusive, to buy courses from Chioma Ifeanyi Eze and many others because the internet was still largely about learning and growth.

Today, Facebook works differently.

The algorithm studies what keeps you watching, clicking, commenting and sharing.

Watch drama, and you’ll get more drama, engage with gossip, and Facebook learns that’s what you want.

Facebook is no longer just a platform, it has studied your behaviour and what you consume on a daily.

I miss the good old days..sha😅

So yes, catch all the cruise, tell your story, sell, entertain, add value..but, while at it, don’t forget the reality. YOU and your life behind the keypad.

And if you can’t do any of the above, then treat Facebook as your life diary or digital blueprint, just as I have and so many others, but please, learn to filter who gets to see what you post as we have so many koromoto consumers that will always read meanings to your content.

Choose wisely what you consume.

And choose wisely what you contribute.

P.S- Facebook: What’s on your mind? Me: 👆👆

A lot of people need to rethink how they define success, especially when it comes to life abroad.

I saw a post where someone mentioned he bought a house in the UK and some of the reactions from Nigerians were honestly disappointing.

People saying “it’s just mortgage,” or “you’ll pay for 30 years like it’s nothing to celebrate.”

Let’s break this down properly.

In the UK, buying a house is not just about “going to an agent and picking keys.” You need to pass strict credit checks, prove stable income, show financial discipline, and usually provide a deposit of 5%–25% of the property value upfront. That deposit alone, when converted to naira, can often be enough to build or buy multiple houses in many parts of Nigeria depending on location and standard.

Then comes the mortgage system itself.

Yes, it can run for 20–30 years, but it is structured, regulated, and tied to your income in a way that makes ownership achievable for salary earners not just the wealthy or connected.

You will not struggle to pay and you will still enjoy the life.

Now compare that to rent.

Rent here is also extremely expensive.

You can pay thousands every month for 20–30 years and still own absolutely nothing at the end.

With a mortgage, you are paying into something that becomes yours, a long-term asset, equity, and financial security.

There is also something people underestimate and that is stability and dignity.

Owning your home means no sudden landlord increases, no eviction notices because someone wants to sell, no uncertainty every year.

It gives you control over your life in a way renting never can.

The UK system is designed so that working people can eventually own property.

How many % can afford a home in Nigeria?

This alone is a huge difference from what many people are used to back home, where home ownership is often tied to large lump sums, family wealth, or land ownership rather than structured credit systems.

So before mocking someone for getting on the property ladder in pounds oo and not naira, sit and do the conversation in naira, some of you will not make that amount of money in 30 years put together.

What you’re dismissing as “just mortgage” is actually a major financial milestone and a sign of discipline, planning, and progress.

Continue to mock your fellow countrymen balling in pounds and living the life home country didn’t give them. Last last, you all will be alright.

What will you do differently as a bedside nurse to gain global visibility?

If you haven’t seen my video on public speaking..see comment section. Click and watch.

Few days ago.. I started writing on skills health care professionals can jump on and monetise it and today is content creation. If you haven’t seen my post on virtual assistant (VA) go read it.

You can actually become a content creator as a healthcare professional and earn from your knowledge without leaving healthcare completely.

Most people think content creation is only for influencers.

It’s not.

As a nurse or healthcare worker, you already have something valuable:
• Medical knowledge
• Real-life experience
• Communication skills
• Trust and credibility

That already puts you ahead.

So how do you start and make money from it?

Step 1: Choose what to talk about

Start with what you already know
• Health tips
• Nursing lifestyle
• Wellness
• Medication awareness
• Student nurse advice
• Healthcare career tips

Step 2: Pick a platform

Use:
• TikTok
• Instagram
• Facebook
• YouTube
• LinkedIn

Your phone is enough to start.

Step 3: Position yourself properly

Don’t just say:
“I’m a content creator.”

Say:
“I help people understand healthcare in simple terms.”

Step 4: Post consistently

Share:
• Short videos
• Health tips
• Daily experiences
• Educational content

You don’t need perfection.
You need consistency.

Step 5: Monetise your content

You can earn through:
• Brand partnerships
• Paid promotions
• Affiliate marketing
• Digital products
• Coaching
• YouTube/Facebook monetisation

The more trust you build, the more opportunities come.

Your healthcare knowledge is valuable beyond the hospital walls.

Happy Nurses Week

3 powerful habits that can change your nursing career.

You can actually make money from your laptop as a Virtual Assistant (VA) without leaving healthcare completely.

When people hear “Virtual Assistant”, they think it’s one big tech job.

It’s not.

A VA is simply someone who helps businesses, many of them healthcare-related with tasks they don’t have time to do.

And as a nurse or healthcare professional, you already have an advantage.

Because you understand medical terms, know how healthcare systems work, you are organised or at least trained to be, you can communicate professionally

That alone puts you ahead of many people.

So how do you actually start and make money from it? Let me break it down simply 👇

Step 1: Decide what service you want to offer

Don’t overcomplicate it.

Start with what you already know.

As a nurse, you can offer:
-Email management
-Appointment scheduling
-Patient follow ups (non-clinical)
-Admin support for clinics
-Social media assistance for doctors/nurses
-Data entry / documentation

You don’t need to know everything.

Start with one or two services.

Step 2: Learn the basics

You don’t need a degree for this.

Just understand:
-How email systems work
-Google Docs / Excel basics
-Simple scheduling tools
-Communication etiquette

You can learn most of this in a few days online.

Step 3: Position yourself as a “Healthcare VA”

This is your advantage.

Don’t just say “I’m a VA”

Say:
-I help healthcare professionals manage their workload so they can focus on patients.

That one sentence alone will attract the right clients.

Step 4: Create a simple online presence

You can start with:
-page
-LinkedIn
-Even WhatsApp status

Post things like:
-I help busy nurses/doctors with admin tasks”
-Tips about organisation
-Simple value posts

Let people know what you do.

Step 5: Start offering your service, even small

Your first client might come from, friends, colleagues, online communities.

Don’t wait to be perfect.

Start.

Experience matters more than perfection.

Step 6: Build trust and grow

Once you start, do your work well

That’s how people refer you.

And before you know it…
you’re earning consistently outside your nursing salary.

Happy New Month❤️

Let me say something that might sound strange to some people.

A nurse can be an entrepreneur and still be a very good nurse.

I’ve noticed this mindset a lot, both online and from conversations.

Once you say you’re a nurse and you’re doing something outside bedside, people start looking at you like, Why?” Is nursing not enough?” Are you leaving the profession?”

As if nursing is a cage you must stay inside forever.

That mindset is outdated.

Nursing is one of the most transferable professions in the world.

Think about it this way,
-You communicate daily
-You solve problems under pressure
-You educate patients
-You manage people, time, and emotions

And you think those skills are only useful inside the hospital? 😅

Some people find it odd because, they were taught that once you choose a profession, that’s all you should do, they don’t understand how skills can be monetised outside traditional roles, they are used to survival mode, not expansion

So when they see a nurse doing more, it feels unfamiliar.

There is nothing wrong with building something for yourself alongside your nursing career.

In fact, for many people it brings, more income, more flexibility, more control over their time and less burnout.

And no, it doesn’t mean you hate nursing.

It simply means you’re thinking beyond one stream of income.

Now let’s talk options.

Things nurses can do from the comfort of their homes.

-Virtual Assistant (VA) – managing emails, scheduling, admin support and to honest, many healthcare professionals need this, go to LinkedIn and see for yourself.

-Health Content Creation – people are cashing out on social media, blogs, YouTube etc.

-Online Coaching / Mentorship – helping other nurses with relocation or career clarity..this is what I do😅😅

-Medical Writing – you write articles, educational materials etc.

-Telehealth / Remote Nursing Roles

-Digital Products – eBooks, guides, templates

-Online Courses – teaching what you already know

-CV/LinkedIn Optimization Services for nurses

-Affiliate Marketing (health-related products/services)

-Podcasting / Speaking etc etc

The goal is not to leave bedside overnight.

The goal is to expand your options.

Because one day, you may want, more time with your kids, less physical stress, more financial stability

And you’ll be glad you didn’t put yourself in a box.

You can be a nurse and still build something powerful outside the hospital.

Both can exist.

If you want a detail step by step on how to cash out from the options above, type “Entrepreneur” in the comment and share this post.

Good morning ❤️❤️
