For those coming here later to ask thesame question in future, know that a CHEW is not a registered nurse and no matter how people tell you that it's thesame, know that they are not thesame. I did Studied community health and I'm presently studying nursing and I can tell you they're not thesame. Chew is only recognised in Nigeria, but RNs are recognised globally. Sometimes, it can even be difficult to explain to someone that you're not a nurse because you give injection and work in a hospital or health center, but it doesn't make you a registered nurse because community health is limited in their scope of practice. During training, many of the ailments you'll come across, they'll tell you to refer to a higher professional. A chew Cannot have their own private establishment except a doctor is present there. After you graduate, you cannot be left to practice independently. Any chew you see doing that is obviously breaking the law and they can be arrested for that, they need to have someone to supervise their work. And it's sad because it study duration takes 3 years to finish, thesame time it would take a nurse to study RN. RNs can work independently in their private set up without any problem. RN and CHEW each have their own scope and area of practice and rn will give you more opportunities both locally and internationally. Some people will even tell you that community health is even better than nursing, but that's left for each person to decide. Just one advice, if you're studying community health, don't think it's nursing you're studying, and don't give other people the impression that you are a registered nurse. Opportunities can come later on for nursing jobs abroad and because people think you're a nurse, they'll try to link you up with the job to make sure you have it, but you'll only be disappointed when they tell you it's registered nurses they're looking for not a CHEW. So, spare yourself the stress and know what you're getting into when you decide to study community health. It's not Asif community health is bad though, it's the fact that people say it's thesame with nursing that is the bad thing. If you study community health, you also have an edge, you can work as an health worker in an health centre, you can own a chemist shop, you can open a private establishment and employ a doctor or a CHO, you can own a pharmacy and employ a licensed pharmacist. The good thing is you will already have an idea about health and so, you'll know what the doctors and pharmacist are doing. You can work and live well in Nigeria as a CHEW. But as of the time of writing this post (June 2023) CHEW is not recognised outside the shore of Nigeria border.

RN and CHEW each have their scope. So you should go into the one of your choice with your mind made up.

Nursing also offers opportunities and specialties. After RN, you can decide to be an anesthetic nurse, pediatric nurse, psychiatric nurse, oncology nurse, cardiac nurse.. the list of opportunities is very wide. But CHEW doesn't offer that. Though you can decide to study CHO after your 3 years of CHW
