PACIFIC LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY COLLABORATES WITH AKWA IBOM STATE COLLEGE OF NURSING SCIENCES (AKSCONS) ON RESEARCH

…As Provost, Ekaette Akan and ors brainstorm

Over time, it has been established that research and scholarly works are the life-wire and enabler of excellence in an elite educational institution. Exclusively for intents and purposes of scholarly research, the Provost of Akwa Ibom State College of Nursing Sciences, Mrs. Ekaette Akan, recently played host to a contingent of research scholars from far-away Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, Washington State in the United States of America (USA).

In what was clearly a bold and eloquent expression of an engaging intellectual brainstorming, Mrs. Akan, an elite nursing professional and an administrator, had motivated the duo of Carrie Ann Matyac — a research Professor — and Miss Oredolapo Kartcher, a research nursing student all from Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma in Washington alongside their research facilitators, as they stormed Ikot Ekpene main campus of the College on an academic research mission.

Presenting her thesis topic: “Understanding the Impact of Traditional Medicine and Modern Medicine Among Nigerians,” the Pacific Lutheran University research student, Oredolapo, interfaced with the AKSCONS academic team represented by the Provost, a select nursing professionals-cum-lecturers as well as students, in a brain-racking intellectual exercise. As part of the engagement, the visiting team also shared their research participation link: https://plu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eA8Pm9Fs0p6S5VA, designed to further broaden data collection for the ongoing study.

A deep reflection on the impacts of traditional and western medicine both on patients and across the general Nigerian population had generated 7-point research-prompting issues which were exhaustively addressed.

Responding at the end of the interaction on behalf of the visiting contingent, Miss Kartcher commended the Provost and the college management for granting them such level of on-the-spot audience and also lauded the entire AKSCONS team for what she described as a high degree of intellectual engagement and resourcefulness. She disclosed that the impressive outcome of the research richly facilitated by the College would be published in the Nursing Journal of the Pacific Lutheran University.

AKSCONS PROVOST, EKAETTE AKAN, CELEBRATES MARRIAGE EVENT!

It was a much-anticipated event that launched the vast Akwa Ibom State College of Nursing Sciences community into a celebrative mode as the Provost of the College, Mrs. Ekaette Akan, joined the college management team of Oron Campus in gracing the Traditional Marriage ceremony of one of their students, former miss Owoidoho Asuquo and Mr. Aniefiok Umoren.

The memorable ceremony, held last weekend in Ekpene Ukim, Uruan local government area of Akwa Ibom State, later turned into a carnival of some sort as Mrs. Akan in company of the Director of Campus - Oron, Mrs. Ime Udofia, the entire management and a mammoth crowd of staffers and students rallied round Owoidoho with their full chest in what many aptly described as an all- AKSCONS family affair.

Addressing an impressive presence of dignitaries at the special event, the Provost, Mrs. Akan who could not control her emotions and affection for the newly married student, thanked God for what she termed "a very successful and epoch- making celebration of marital engagement". She thereafter cited the Holy Bible, confirming marriage as an honourable institution ordained by God, congratulated the couple and prayed God to bless their union.
