Counselor Frank Edem Adofoli has given the reason why most nurses in the country are unable to marry despite attaining the mandated age.
In an article posted on his Facebook page, he observed most of them have issues with relationships.
His write up is in response to a report by some nurses who complained of not being proposed to.
A group of female Nurses in Ghana have lamented that Ghanaian men are not coming forward to ask them out on a date nor talk of asking for their hand in marriage.
The Nurses who are gainfully employed and reaped for marriage are now filled with anxieties and fears because the men are not forthcoming.
They told Fnnewsonline.com; “We are ready for marriage but the men are not coming forward to propose marriage. They just want to have fun with you and go. We have grown past that level now. What we want now is marriage, not fun”.
Some of them in an attempt to find answers to as why men are not coming forward have concluded that they are in this situation because of the negative perceptions men have that Nurses are bad and promiscuous.

WHY OUR NURSES ARE NOT GETTING MARRIED
Is the title for Today’s Motivational Message
Written by Counselor Adofoli
On my way to a Television’s morning show, I was trying to find out what was being discussed on the radio and I came across an interesting discussion; Single nurses were complaining that the men are not proposing marriage to them, so the presenter sought to ask the public why the men were not approaching the nurses.
These were some of the interesting responses from men; some cited disrespect, others talked about character and how they maltreated patients at the hospital whilst some are of the view that they like money and are not submissive.
It’s really hard to speak for all nurses but one thing I can confirm as a Counselor is that, nurses are one the professionals who have lots of issues in relationships.
From those who visit my office to those who call and send messages, nurses form a large part. This message is not to paint the nurses black or bad, but to help them.
Growing up, I wanted to marry a nurse. To me they were the most caring people on earth. I came to this assertion due to how a nurse treated me when I was sick and was on admission at the hospital.
How this nurse could clean up my mess, be patient with me, encouraging me and being a friend as well. I felt that the nursing profession is about one’s calling and not about the gain or salary.
How much money will be enough to pay for someone to take care of their mess? No amount of money can equal that, and to think about this nurse doing that with smiles on her face, was amazing.
