List of Approved Schools of Nursing, Midwifery, Post Basic Nursing & Department of Nursing in Nigeria 2022
The list of approved Schools of Nursing, Midwifery, Post Basic Nursing and the Departments of Nursing with their accreditation status and admission quota on a state basis in Nigeria.
Nursing, as an integral part of the health care system, encompasses the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and care of physically ill, mentally ill, and disabled people of all ages, in all health care and other community settings. Nurses play so many different roles that it’s impossible to encompass it all in just one job title.

Comment Text*did i need to take jamb
yes and no, some of those schools are jamb accredited institution while some did not need to apply for jamb before been admitted into the institution, glad if could just go online and make the requirement of each of them, anyone that deals with jamb will ask you to do change of course and institution to their schools and with this i hope have attended to your request….wish you the best
Please sir/ mah can I able to buy form with an awaiting result?
