After relocating to the UK, her quest to practice as a doctor has not been successful, as she has been applying for hundreds of jobs without securing employment since moving.
Despite these challenges, the young lady said she has learned lessons from her experience.
“But one thing that I have learned during this period is that in life we will always face setbacks. But that is not the issue; the most important thing is how you recover from those setbacks,” she said.
The doctor said that she decided to evaluate how things have unfolded so far and plan her next move.
The video concluded with the young lady advising people who may be facing similar situations.
“If you are in a similar situation, always remember that you must learn how to recover from setbacks quickly, because in this life we will encounter a lot of setbacks,” she said in the video.

At the time of writing the report, the deeply moving video, which had generated a lot of reaction, was captioned:
“I’m sharing my story now because I know that there are a lot of people who have been affected by UK prioritisation and how saturated the NHS is, but as the policies continue to change against our favour, we have to pivot. I spent a lot of time waiting, thinking something might happen, but the only thing that needs to change is me.”

“Same thing here. I did ASCPi, HCPC, no job. I’m now starting another country.”
ochogbugrace indicated:
“My dear, I understand the feeling. I wrote the OSCE as a nurse and had more than 30 interviews. It was depressing, but I never stopped. A few months later, the best job came with full sponsorship. Keep pushing; God will complete what He has started.”
Tkaychips 🇿🇼 said:
“It takes a lot of strength to come to terms with the fact that we are not progressing in areas we were certain we would succeed. I can relate, and I am so proud of you for taking this bold move.”
