UGONSA Taraba Chapter Held its Maiden Scientific Session/General Meeting

By

The Taraba State chapter of University Graduates of Nursing Science Association (UGONSA), held its general meeting/maiden scientific session yesterday February 20th 2019.

The event which took place at the Nurses house in Jalingo, brought together graduate Nurses all across Taraba State. After words of prayer from both faiths(Christianity and Islam), members took out time to introduce themselves, stating where they are working at the moment.

The Acting Chairman/Secretary Nurse Machoko M. R. took out time to welcome and thank all those who created time for the event.

The scientific Session titled: Assertiveness in Nursing Profession, saw Nurse Machoko going memory lane from the era of Socrates to Smith up to the modern day Nursing practice. Nurses were reawakened to stand for the truth and honesty in the practice of the Nursing profession, never to relent on what is right.

An interactive  contribution session was taken "see it, say it and fix it", as it applies to Nursing practice. 

Due to the state chairman demise in December 2018, the house affirmed the secretary General Nurse Machoko M. R. as the state Chairman.  Also Nurse Nawati Yakubu was nominated as the Secretary General.

UGONSA Taraba state branch next scientific session is scheduled to hold 20th March 2019, with topic : Professionalism in Nursing practice and contemporary issues.

Present at the general meeting was the chairman NANNM Federal Medical Centre Jalingo Nurse Clement Ayuba 

New members were recruited and registered after paying the registration fee with the association. Returning members  also paid the monthly dues.

UGONSA national workshop is to hold in July 2019 in Kaduna state. Members were urge to make efforts to attend.
