It's even better that you have a degree in Microbiology. Its one of the courses you will do if you decide to get trained as a nurse. But you would be dealing with medical microbiology topics.

There are so many prospects and opportunities in nursing .so go for it since it's your passion. No federal university will offer you direct entry to study Nursing..you must be a registered nurse from a school of nursing to be offered admission to study for a degree in Nursing ..I advise just enrol to any school of nursing of your choice.what u need to succeed and be a Nurse is an RN..school of nursing Mkar Gboko benue state is on sale..5 th August is the entrance examination..try ur luck if you good u will scale through the test..all d best

U already have the foundation is easy for u. Try schools in uk or Europe if u have the funds
In 3 years u will be a nurse

Dear nairalanders,
I am a graduate of Microbiology and currently serving but I want to be a Nurse as I am more passionate about that and it also has more prospect than Microbiology both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria. Please, suggest and advise me on what I can do right now. I don't mind going to School of Nursing but will prefer any school that can offer me Direct Entry into Nursing with my Degree Certificate. But if that is not possible, I am opened to writing JAMB again and going for Nursing.
Thanks

The best choice is to apply for a 2 year degree in Nursing abroad if you have a financial commitment to sustain the programme.
The University in UK always prefer a Microbiologist for their degree programme and you will be a preferred candidate.
Check out the University of Edinburgh and Queen Margaret University websites and apply.
Good luck !

If you have the resources, consider going out of the country to get the degree. You might even get a scholarship

I have a friend who finishes 4-year microbiology, and immediately after his graduation, he sought for admission into MBBS using his microbiology cert, before even going for Service, and he was admitted into 200level MBBS, and now he's a medical doctor in the US...

Some Unis will take you. You should look deep and wide.

Thank you for your contribution. It's actually a 2.2 in Microbiology.

You are thinking in the right direction. My friend enrolled in school of nursing after 2.1 degree in microbiology. After completing her studies, she did one year internship in a teaching hospital. After, she wrote ielts academics and UK nursing exams all from here in Nigeria. She is in the UK now with her family. A word is enough for the wise. Take action now.

All these nonsense threads opened by supposed adults who are surprisingly unable to sit and take decisions for themselves, instead they need the advise of total strangers like me..

Okay let me ask my own nonsense question.

I want to be a herdsman but I have an MBA and PMP certified

Yours is about the easiest, you only need to walk into the nearest bush or forest and follow the traces of cow dung. You’ll certainly find an Almajiri school where your MBA and PMP isn’t required to give you admission to learn how to be a herdsman.

This life is vanity.. Just be who you want to be... Be yourself... God is still in heaven...

I love your courage.

Let no one discourage you, your decision is a good one.

I hope and pray that you are given a DE admission into a university; otherwise do not hesitate to sit for JAMB.

All the best.

LAUTECH, Ogbomoso offers this course at degree level. Going for BSC nursing is far better to going to a nursing school. While BSC nursing is less in terms of school fees, someone in nursing school pays much more higher. In LAUTECH, you will pay around #140,000 or less; in U.I as i was told, is around #60,000. But in a private University, you will pay from #600,000 to 1m and above. The school fees mentioned here are for a session. But dearie, why don't you consider studying medicine instead?

Depends on your passion and your first degree result. Most Universities accept 2.1 for those related science courses but some still take 2.2 for direct entry into nursing science. If you have the passion and financial back up to go back to school, better for you because studying any course in Nigeria apart from professional course without having someone to fix you up after graduation is of no use. I have my first degree but currently in University studying medicine and surgery. I graduated with a good result but it failed to fetch me a good job. I have a private medical laboratory but that those not give me a job security I'm looking for. In ten years coming, laboratory work will be a thing of past. Many kits/ strips with digital machine coming out day by day. A novice can even stay in his or her house and run MP or pregnancy test without going to laboratory. Most private hospitals have there own in laboratory now and no government work forthcoming. Nursing is very lucrative profession. Just strive to get the admission because getting the admission is not even easy

It's very possible for you to study Nursing, having Microbiology isn't an issue.

If it's OK by you, send your whatsApp number to (paradiseland001@yahoo.com), so we could both discuss. It's a genuine interest on my part to wanna assist you, but please, if you're not comfortable with this, don't bother to send your number.

Olodo and u want to study nursing

His grades notwithstanding isn't a determinant of his new found passion and aspiration for nursing. So, I'll be glad to help him if he wants to study nursing in U.K at masters level. We should stop pulling people down with poisoned words.
Reach me on my mail and I'll be there for the processing. Congrats on fulfilling your dreams

2.2 in micro wan go do nursing

Good idea but unfortunately can’t help as it’s Naija. I did studied microbiology in Naija and later studied nursing when I moved to the U.K.

Being a nurse would open better doors for you in terms of migrating to countries like the U.K. US, Canada and Australia. I don’t know why many Nigerians don’t study nursing and other healthcare courses that can easily pave way for them to move abroad.

Did u start all over in the UK again(bsc) or you just did masters in nursing?

Omofloflo:


Olodo and u want to study nursing

Gbenuburuku sohun. She can if she wants to.. Nursing isn't that hard to even courses like Biochemistry.

heykims:
I know of a graduate in Biochemistry who entered Nursing in OAU through DE.
But op, whatever ur decision is, do not settle for school of nursing but a university.
RN acquired in School of nursing is only equivalent to OND in civil service.

School of Nursing is actually better for him/her

Calm Down Chairman, show us your own Result

Hi. Was it MSc Nursing you studied or BSc? Did they allow you to stay back as a result of your nursing degree (and job) or you already had your settlement before going for the nursing?

Please, I will be expecting your feedback. Thanks .

Can I dm you?
