Two ways that will help you to become a nurse

You need to choose any school for nurses that has a three-year programme, and at the end of your studying, you’ll be examined by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria. After this, you’ll become a registered nurse.

The second way you can choose is a university degree. Apply to any university where you can study nursing and get 5-year education, and upon completing you will also be examined by the West Africa Health Examination Board and the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
