It would not be formal enough of I joined a platform without letting people bon the platform know who I am which is more like being a new schooler and the you don't introduce yourself to members of the class. It's good to be on a social media such as this.

Introduction
I go by the name Idorenyin Ndem popularly known as Nurse Ndem. I was born and brought up In a family of 9 excluding parents of which I'll state below. We're 7 girls and just two boys. Gone are the days when parents used to give birth to 12 children. I'm a Certified Nurse Officer in my ward and as profession. I'm passionate about saving lives.

I'm an indigen of Nigeria in Akwa Ibom State, Ibesikpo Local government Area. I'm a mother with 4 children as well raised to be God-fearing and responsible.

Family background

My parents are late making me an orphan with my siblings who have their children and responsibilities to cater for. Same with me, I have responsibilities to cater for. I grew up in a household where life was difficult and based on survival of the fittest. If I tell you how I managed to become a nurse with no sponsor, you may not believe me.

Educational background
Linking to what I said, I had no sponsor who would take my studies to the next level. I was just limited to helping myself by hawking so I'll raise money and go to the best schools then . At least I wanted the foundation before anything else. I drove 70% of my educational journey alone not until I got to the level I am today all because I was;

• determined
• focused
• responsible and
• patient..

Hobbies
My children will always tell me that I'm a born farmer because I love farming and it's true. If I don't farm, how will they eat? They don't know how life is like in providing for a household until they are in your shoes. I also love reading as this hobby is the reason why I excel in the nursing field.

Why I joined steemit?

I joined steemit not just for financial incentives but also to create awareness on health related activities. There are many that aren't informed and due to their lack of information, they stumble on sad consequences. Also, I joined to raise funds so I can help my family and the people in my hospital.

Talking about hospital, there are people laying helplessly or some may have died because of lack of funds to proceeds an elaborate treatment. Most times, I use my savings in helping them because when they are ohkay, I'm fine

How I came to know steemit
I came to know about this platform from my son @bossj23. I've been doubting this platform for 3 years now that it's just scam and that it won't pay not until I saw his achievements and the fact they it's free. I would have joined a long time ago but because of the sad encounter with some online businesses which changed my thinking drastically. I'm still grateful to him for forcing me in. All my children are here....

@dorismos etc

What sort of posts I'll be creating on the platform and what I hope to accomplish

I'll be creating health related posts as I'm a nurse and I'll be showing ways of which I offer assistance to the sick and infirm incase the steemit team can choose to support me in carrying out this life saving project in my hospital where due to livelihood, people can't afford treatments.

Social life
I'm not that a social media type but I'm used to open conversations and the likes. This is my social media handle. Looking forward to gaining more knowledge from other posts.
