According to @iphiee_pat, she moved to the UK three years ago and has been working as a nurse.
After three years in the UK healthcare sector, Pat said she observed that it was not a lucrative profession over there.
She said anyone planning to relocate to the UK and hoping to make money from nursing should perish the idea because it was not as lucrative as people thought.
Pat said she misses Nigeria so much but noted that she does not regret making the choice to relocate abroad.

As a matter of fact, she said leaving Nigeria was the best decision she took at the time.
Pat said:
"It's been three years since I relocated to the UK as a nurse and here are MY thoughts: 1. Nursing in the UK is not very lucrative so if you're looking for a well paying country you should consider other options. Not sure if a nurse in the UK can comfortably live without at least one extra shift in a month. I'm still yet to figure out where I really want to be. To stay in the UK or to leave to another country. But where is better? I miss my family! I miss socialising, I miss the accessible healthcare system in Nigeria! I don't regret leaving Nigeria, it's literally the best decision I took! I'm still figuring out my life, one step at a time. If you plan on leaving Nigeria, be fast about it"
