“I am grateful to receive this Award as Life Matron from the National Association of Nigeria Paediatric Nurses (NANPAN), Lagos Chapter, at her ongoing 2017 Maiden State Conference in LASUTH, Ikeja Lagos.
“I appreciate the association for this recognition, and most importantly, i appreciate Nigerian Paediatric Nurses for the role they play in child and adolescent health; from teaching in various setting to rendering hands-on care in hospitals or clinic.
Taking care of children involves self-awareness that one must be patient enough about children’s needs as well as consider the fundamentals of child psychology especially the key factors that determine early childhood development, to assure that the nation’s children thrive, from birth to age.
