School of nursing is good but I will suggest she go through a university. I have a friend who finished from school of nursing and was certified after 3yrs but he still picked jamb form only to be admitted for anatomy.

So I will conclude that if your sister have the means to travel abroad after her school of nursing she can pick school of nursing but if no means she should better go through university

My question is this, why do people still have to go to back university after attending school of nursing?

Is it that, the education and skill acquired in nursing school is not adequate or could it be due to salary structure between them and nurses that graduated from universities being different ( Like it was obtainable between HND and university graduates)?

Let me not say much here, the simple truth is that the Nigeria system does not favour school of nursing graduates, it's bad but that's the system we found ourselves and worst of it all is that the govt don't care as far as it does not concern them

As a nursing student in the University, I can say the content of education is different. Schools of nursing only teach what is needed to pass their exams and as such, their curriculum is deficient. As for the degree, one is required to take courses from several fields including sociology, political science, administration, microbiology, statistics besides the general nursing and clinical courses.

As for clinical postings, there is no difference in the level of competence between the two groups. Both pathways have to sit for a licensing exam in their final or penultimate year of study and so far anyone can pass it, they are competent enough to be nurse.

The University education affords you a plethora of experiences that can't be gotten at the school of nursing. This alone is a good reason to opt for the university pathway

Thank you for your detailed reply. My younger sister is an aspirant and she made similar remark on not being interested in pursuing her program in nursing school. That she would prefer the university route though she didn't have any cogent reason for such.

If you don't mind, do you have idea of good federal universities with great admission rate, affordable fees and good pass rate/graduation rates? Also, which university are you attending if it is not much asking?

She is making plans for it and I want to gather as much information I can get as possible for her in order to direct her appropriately.

Yeah, thought as much, but all the same, people should not plan to stay in Nigeria forever (especially the unmarried ones).

Since their skills is highly valued in other countries, the person should make plans to relocate after contributing to the Nigerian sector for few years. It is what is obtainable in most lecturers trained abroad by Ptdf or Tetfund fund.

Hopefully, if the person makes money, he or she can contribute towards setting up standard primary health care centers in the various local government as a form of social contribution to the community(my opinion)

Okay, thanks.

This will be her first choice then. I will check out the school to get a clear picture of how they run their different academic programmes.

Most federal schools are good options. Some state schools like LASUCOM are great too but in my opinion, private schools are the best because of the incessant strikes we've been experiencing.

If 180k -200k is not much per session, she should try her shot at University of Ibadan. However, I would suggest to you she registers for A levels. It'll cut her years for the admission process. Currently, there are about two sets on ground that's yet to resume 100 level (UI is still in 2018/2019 session)

The price you mentioned is definitely much and private school is out of option for her. As for the A-levels, she will use it to gain admission straight right or what?

Thank you for the information so far.

With the A levels, she will gain admission at the next likely opportunity and into 200 level. It's better than queuing for jamb admission

She can try uniben, sch fee from 200l is about 45k per session. It's only in year one she will spend much like close to 200k

Thanks for the suggestion.

I think the 2 University choices she will select is complete. The other options in jamb would also be researched on before subsequent selection.

LASU also offers BSC Nursing and I thinks the fees are cheap.
