Are you interested in becoming a Nigerian nurse?
If so, there are only two ways to achieve this dream: by attending a School/College of Nursing or by attending a University. These schools must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) to ensure that you receive the proper education and training to become a qualified nurse.
It is important to note that attending a hospital for apprenticeship, also known as “auxiliary nursing,” is not a legitimate way to become a nurse. In fact, it is considered quackery and is not recognized by the NMCN. Therefore, if you are serious about becoming a nurse, it is essential to attend an accredited School/College of Nursing or University.
For Nigerians who study abroad, it is possible to become a Nigerian nurse by completing a six-month adaptation course. This course is designed to ensure that foreign-trained nurses are familiar with the Nigerian healthcare system and are able to provide high-quality care to patients.
In conclusion, becoming a Nigerian nurse is a rewarding and fulfilling career path. By attending an accredited School/College of Nursing or University, you will receive the proper education and training to become a qualified nurse. Remember, there are no shortcuts to becoming a nurse, and it is important to stay committed to your education and training to achieve your goals.”
A Brief History of Nursing
While history has long been filled with men and women providing care to injured soldiers and loved ones, the actual profession of nursing did not develop until the 19th century. The development of the profession was largely influenced by Florence Nightingale, who felt a strong conviction that God had called to her become a nurse
Nightingale, who was the daughter of wealthy British family, devoted her early years as a nurse improving the hospital conditions during the Crimean war. She focused on improving sanitation and nutrition. In 1859, she wrote Notes on Nursing, a 136-page book that served as an important part of the curriculum at the Nightingale School and other nursing schools established at that time. Her ideas and devotion to nursing quickly spread to other countries, including the Nigeria and West Africa.
