I'd love to know also
Re: How Much Do Nurses Earn In Nigeria? by haydesh: 8:36am On May 13, 2011
I've got no clue on salary but Yes, oil coy do recruit nurses to man their clinic except where it's been outsourced

Just out of nursing school, set eye on some specialisation in nursing (overtime after some experience) and gradually move to mgt side of things (if you have the flair for it)

that my 2kobo for you

I'm not sure nursing is renumerated properly in Nigeria, or even has a decent career path.
Will leave this one for the medicos to answer.

That i'm also not so sure of.
However, I've seen a number partner with Pharmacists to open 'shops' (and Doctors in some cases to open a practice)

or even has a decent career path.

Career wise, a nurse can become a Chief Matron and in some case Superintendent (like a Director in government)

m not too sur abt the exact figure, but it depends on ur qualification and where u work> in the federal teaching hospitals the pays is not bad> peri operative nurses earn as high as 350 k per mnth, but u wud need further qualifications, for a fresh nurse i guess its about 100-120 or a little higher, but d pay depend on whether u ve bsc nursng or sch of nursin.

My sis is actually a nurse,she works with the cross river state health service in my local govt ie obudu.the state pays them around 20k,also the LG is suppose to pay its own counterpart funding though it differs with respective LG, For example obudu pays around 10k thats for junior nurses,as the cadre goes high the salaries go high, i think the post of officer is the highest and could earn as high as 80k a month,but like earlies said it varies with LG and even states.
Re: How Much Do Nurses Earn In Nigeria? by emmke(m): 2:24pm On May 14, 2011

Hmmn interesting,  While Nurses in the western world are making more and could even afford to pay up-to 10 Nigeria doctors salaries with their pay per-month if i am not over exaggerating.

Anyways, one Dyvinson on Travel Section is saying you can study in Canada,  if you want to study nurse i think you should check him out,  https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-626836.64.html


Any if you are a nurse, you can migrate to Canada or U.S for better pay,

My Mum is a Nurse. She's earning almost 200 thousand Naira. Although She is a senior matron and held other post like PRO. She is working at a state hospital even though she went to school of nursing. Its Kinda complicated, she's doing some other programmes. NURSES ARE BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE MY MUM.

Re: How Much Do Nurses Earn In Nigeria? by reindeer: 8:30pm On May 14, 2011
As a doctor, i respect nurses so much.Theirs is one of the most thankless jobs in the health sector. I'm glad about the pay im reading on this forum, It usede to be pathetic in those days.
For the person insinuating they do abortions, there may be a few bad eggs but that doesn't make the decent ones any less decent so mind your comments. You are talking about people's wives, mothers and sisters.
What i do hope for however is for the govt to train more nurses cause i know they were so overworked back then so much that they get cranky at times(we are all humans and i understand the pressures they work under.
Thank you nurses!!

where? in Nigeria? are u sure?what type of nurses are u talking about? or are u referring to midwives or matrons? most of the nurses i know earn between 10 to 50k depending on the hospital, qualifications and years of experience.which hospital in Nigeria pays a nurse 350k?the fact remains that nurses in Nigeria are poorly remunerated. period!

Thank you for that question.
Firstly which nursing qualification do you have , is it HND nursing, Bsc Nursing, auxillary nursing (nurse Eliza)
Secondly, do where do u want to work,company hospital, private hospital, FG hospital, chemist.

HND nursing+private hospital average pay/month-10k
HND nursing+FG hospital-13k
Bsc nursing+FG hospital-25k
Bsc nursing+private hosp-15k
Bsc nursing+company hospital-50k(depending)
HND+Company hosp- 35k
nurse eliza+chemist- self employed
All are subject to years of experience and promotion which could improve pay.
But if u are out side Naija pay rates are much higher with better recpect.
In uk minimun pay is 12-15 pounds per hr.
In the US mnimum pay is 20-25 dollars per hour

I very much doubt the above.
As far back as 2004, the new nurses in OAUTHC( a federal institution) were earning more than this. This certainly not the CONHESS being paid now. You need to research your facts.
