In an X post by @AbolarinEl90184, the young lady announced her predicament and said she was open to job opportunities.
She said she graduated from the Osun State School of Nursing, and N40,000 was the standard salary for registered nurses in her area.
Her tweet went viral, garnering over 1.2 million views as of the time of this report.
It read:
“I'm a registered Nurse and I'm currently residing in Osogbo. I'm highly in need of a job pls. This 40k can not do anything.”
In a chat with Legit.ng, Abolarin shared what spurred her interest in nursing and the impact of her viral tweet.
She said:
"My nursing journey started as a passion I got watching my late mom take care of our sick neighbours and most times, it looks as if she does magic and I have always wished and wanted to do the same magic too and care for dying patients.
"Concerning the support I have seen since my tweet went viral, I'd say I have been overwhelmed with the messages of people concerned but I'm still yet to get a job due to the fact that I'm still a fresh graduate of school of nursing and I'm yet to get my licence from the Nursing and Midwifery council of Nigeria. But I'm postive and looking foward to receiving positive response from few serious ones that truly wants to help me."
