But how does clean and nicely put hair affects one's job?

Every profession has its rules. The student should know that.

Most Nigerians deserve the type of leaders they get.

How do you even justify this?
Yes, there are rules against keeping long hair/hairstyles but does the rule say the hair must be cut carelessness in the class?

Two wrongs don't make a right. Send the students home, give them mark deductions, suspend them, do anything but not this barbaric act.

This is abuse of power and position and it should have no place in a sane environment.

Fair point.

For me any school or learning process or program one is undergoing one has to go through it with utmost humility in every aspect especially dressing and appearance specifically in respect to the ethical practices of such discipline.
This is applicable to all level of learning in general i.e from kindergarten to the highest level attainable in the course of learning QED.

It's heavily loaded with bacteria

qtx:

Just imagine when she bends down to attend to someone in pain and the long hair drops on the patient's face, what do you think will be the repercussion?
Every profession has its own ethics, bro. Have you forgotten how nurses in general hospitals in those days used to look? Some of them, then if you see them, you would even feel better even though you were not feeling well. But these days, hmmmm.

U can park the hair neatly into a Bunch and cover it with a scrub hat.However if the lecturer feels she was breaking the rule the right thing to do was to send her out of the class.This action amount to both GBH and ABH as the hair is termed part of the body,

You could as well wear a clean agbada to play football and get message straight.

Why did the lecturer not send her out? wont that be more appropriate? how if about when she brought the shar scissors and there was a struggle and someone got stabbed?

It's against the ethics, as well as long nails, u can't even get pregnant when you are studying nursing in Nigeria

Your example is flawed greatly as Agbada is an Item of clothing.Hair is fixed and classed as part of the body.

says who?
why do you lot come up with stuff like this. No profession can stop you from getting pregnant, you just defer and start again

Health and safety rules, it can be hazzardous to the job, It is filty, it can get entangled on objects, it can end up in food. Have you ever seen anyone with this kinda outrageous hairstyle in Macdonald restuarant or any restuarant?


You may consider your hair nice and clean but other people think you hair are rubbish and smells, it is like some men wearing very disgusting facial hairs and serving food in restuarants, would you accept that?

Good! Very disgusting hair, she should stick to the health and safety rules.

It is and I agree with you, this is barbaric , and you can even judge from the response on here, there are those within this small on her who is ing this barbaric action. This teacher should be arrested and made to be in front of a Judge to explain her action.

Samantha125:

It is against the code of conduct and dressing in the nursing school.

we are not here talking about the hair,we all know she done wrong, we are talking about the lecturere becoming a barber,make sense?
How or who gave her the damn right to cut someones hair? why not just send her out of the class?

Long braided hair, high heel footwear's are not allow especially by the nurses

GistMedia0:
A nursing student recently shared a shocking video showing her lecturer cutting her long, braided hair, along with the hair of other students, after returning from the holiday break.

The student, who returned with a festive, bold hairstyle, was met with the lecturer's decision to cut her hair, as long braids are reportedly against the school's code of conduct. According to the institution’s rules, students are not supposed to resume with such elaborate hairstyles, particularly when it may pose hygiene and safety concerns in a clinical setting.

One netizen weighed in with a comment that’s quickly gaining attention: "That’s what happens when you fail to recognize that every job has its own ethics and code of conduct. For instance, a nurse wearing long braids to a hospital or clinic while attending to patients wouldn’t be appropriate. Understand your job’s ethics, and you’ll find peace."

Being in the health sector, its totally relatable. however, where there are no imminent danger, issue like this can be addressed without being narcist. As a nurse, you never dey ward wey patient go pull you hair because he or she is in pain and you can't react to the patient because everyone will remind where you are. or you in a theatre room and you hairdo is so elaborate that it can't fit into a scrub outfit, thereby opening the patient to contamination where sterility is suppose to be absolute.

As a nurse, you know you are not allowed to keep flamboyant hairstyles that can't be packed neatly when at the workplace or why do you think you see so many doctors and nurses on pony tail hair style. Its all about health and safety, and throw some convenience into that mix. You know you can not wear jewelry and stuffs like that except your wedding band. So the rules are there and the irony is that most of these rules are for safety and health reasons for all parties.
However, you don't cut peoples hair indiscriminately. you send them back home to do the appropriate thing and ask them to resume when they ready for training. The nursing is not a military barracks. Nurses are not soldiers, they are carers and we need to make them understand that.

Only in Nigeria. Sad, sick,jealous lecturer what happened to making her pack it up neatly ? Na so our things dey be but to do the right thing during practice they won't. Ordinary to save lives first they can't implement it but na such trivial policies them dey jump to enforce. Backward fools

It’s enshrined in the code of conduct all students especially those Of CHS signed. You breaking the rules should be made to face its consequences.

Judolisco:

Nah I reasoned it well, U came out as if this is oozed outta Nursing school only. Almost everything that has to do with an Institution work or school or Biz, if you get pregnant U Differ/Stop after certain periods, at work you get maternity leave, even Dads get paternity leave these days

Thanks for educating these busy bodies commenting without understanding laid down rules.
His types are many in Nairaland, commenting recklessly and foolishly.

Another one,tell us where in the code of conduct did it state that the teacher must cut the Hair
This is pure mental slavery, We allow these things and make it regular, Look who ever you are,this is not normal and must be frawned upon every and any time this take place, change this frame of mind please its not right.
The right procedure was to send her out of the class,
PS,Im not calling you a slave p lease,

Calitoscassius:

jealous how?

The medical profession doesn't allow long hair to be untied.

Exactly, all she had to do is send student home, its up to student to lose her hair or cut it for next day.

OBAGADAFFI:

The medical profession doesn't allow long hair to be untied.

So the medical association allows for student hair to be cut right?
the way you guys reason at times plainly shows why you lot deserve the leaders yah have,

Fellow NL, it does in so many ways. it is when you in the practice that you will understand. Some for Safety reasons, some for convenience reasons, some for health reason. It is all about everyone's safety and if you dont start that habit from Nursing School, you wont be inclined to it at the hospital. It is all about best practices and its very easy to ick up contaminants and spread easily within the hospital, that PPE wont save you just because something like your hair is all over the place and not properly packed and protected and that can happen wearing braids that are waist length.

The same "westerners" that told you, you're higher animals in Biology




I won't condescend to your level, as you want to turn this to a South Africa vs Nigeria professional competency supremacy.

LoL 😆

South Africa vs Nigeria professional competency supremacy. You are right. Argument between both Two countries on competency supremacy battle in social media is frightening and has reached crescendo level where they want to slug it out at officiating Arena.

Part of the story reads

According to the institution’s rules, students are not supposed to resume with such elaborate hairstyles, particularly when it may pose hygiene and safety concerns in a clinical setting.
