What Is Nursing?

Nursing is a profession within the health care sector that focus on the care of individuals, families and communities. As we all know, the ratio of nurses to patients in Nigeria is very low compare to other advanced countries. Hence, the rush for the services of nurses in Nigeria.

How To Become A Nurse in Nigeria

      Hi Chioma,
      If you plan on graduating as an RN-Registered Nurse, you should seat for JAMB into a University of your own choice.
      But if you plan on attending a 3 years Nursing Training, you would become an Auxilliary Nurse. You will be taking a form.
      So, the choice is yours.

          You must have at least a credit each in at least 5 subjects in your Senior School Certificate Examination including English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

      How do you do Sarah?
      A degree in Biology Science Education already gives you an opportunity to either study Medicine or Bachelors in Nursing Science
      You will need to seat for JAMB. Click the links below:

      Hi Stella, Your passion to study Nursing is a good one. But Chemistry and Physics is usually a general prerequisite for enrollment into the School of Nursing. However, you might have to find from the School of your interest if they can offer a Waiver for commercial students like you. If you are sure of the passion for Nursing, it is advisable you register and take an exam for Physics and Chemistry.

How do I go about securing nursing admission, what’s the easiest way to fast track the process, which schools of nursing are most likely to consider me?

      Hi Maggie, Following your passion is the best Jinx you can ever achieve. However, since you don’t have Physics and Chemistry, registering to sit for WAEC GCE is important you do. To make verification about WAEC GCE click HERE: http://campustimesng.com/waec-2021-registration-forms/

      After that, to become a Registered Nurse (RN), You can sit for JAMB to apply for Bachelor of Nursing Science in any University of your choice. See JAMB Subject Combination for Nursing HERE: http://campustimesng.com/jamb-subject-combination-for-nursing-in-utme-exams/

      Until you possess your Physics and Chemistry, then will you be able to enroll for School of Nursing at any University Teaching Hospital. It is a 3 year Programme that qualifies you to become an Auxiliary Nurse. See Nursing Schools In Nigeria and Their School Fees HERE: http://campustimesng.com/nursing-schools-in-nigeria-and-their-school-fees/

      Your BSc. Business Administration Degree is not a Science based field. Therefore, you can’t use it in applying for studying Nursing.
