Tayo Salami
Oncology nurse at Ikeja Children's Hospital
- 🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria
- Ikeja Children's Hospital
- Since 1986
- English
I've been a nurse for 40 years, most of them in oncology at Ikeja Children's Hospital in Ikeja. Night shifts taught me patience, and patients taught me everything else.
The thing I'm proudest of is that families usually remember my name. I paint watercolors of whatever is outside the window.
Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.
More about Tayo
I still get cards from families years later. They're pinned to my fridge.

What gifts mean to Tayo: Anything sent will help me keep volunteering at the clinic on weekends.
