The rate at which everyone is going for nursing and other medical courses because of how lucrative it is scares me. Little wonder what we have recently are "slay"nurses.

I am considering this option too. I am school dropout due to financial inbalance and willing to go back and study nurse or medics.

If you take the nursing serious,you won't regret it. Go for school of nursing. It is just 3 years. You don't need years of experience to relocate. Find any hospital and be working while you prepare for the exams. Having the finance and Passing the exam for relocation is the only obstacle that you may face. But it is doable.

Nigeria economy doesn't favour passion but what the economy needs. Medical professionals, IT and a few more. Follow passion and hit hunger and lack.

Truly nursing is a lucrative profession in abroad, so it wouldn't be a bad idea switching career. But do you know nursing is 3years+ program in this country ? Considering the fact that you intend traveling by 2023. Also you're married, how do you intend to do it ? Will you be traveling with your family or you alone ?
I think you've got to reason on these things before you make conclusion.
BSc nursing na better 5yrs
N.B: HND can definitely get you a good job in Canada or UK.

When people decide to study courses not because of passion for the course but because they want to get a job, then you know there is a problem.

When the likes of Op becomes a nurse, the lives of innocent patients are at stake because condition made him a nurse and not interest or passion.

Naa lie..... so you will tell me that if you approach a lady today that means you lover her ..... your love in relationship will start after 2 or 3 years of marriage so as carrier ..... even though you have motive which is MONEY to switch to other course as time goes on you can be the best in that field try to watch this film Blessed hand

Hello � Good Day

Please Help, I don't know what to do.

I am a graduate of office technology and management ( HND ) and now thinking of going into nursing.

My the Grace Of God I am looking at migrating to canada or UK 2023, but then I need to do something that will enable me get job there, like getting job from home country Nigeria, like nurses do with the help of agencies.

I started looking into nursing profession. I enrolled in a tutorial and started taking science subjects. I'll be writing the upcoming waec.

I choose nursing because I felt it's easy to find job over there. But it will take me years to study, plus I gave no science background. and I have to go leave in the school during this period. I'm in my 30's married with kids

What course can I take up on that will be easy for me to get job abroad with my HND certificate?

This gives me sleepness night and makes me think alot. It's really affecting my mental health.


Switch to nursing. You won't regret it trust me. As long as you move though

My dear, Traveling, relocating is not a big deal but can be overwhelming when you don't even know where to start from...


My advice ..pls if you don't wanna treat HBP...focus on your potential nursing study now in Nigeria...find a good nursing school that can take you and I hope you have the finance in place cus it's not cheap...

When it's a year before graduation den you can begin thinking of starting ur application, English test and building of account balance...

Migrating to Canada is not cheap...so start saving

May God make your dream come through!

It is indeed lucrative abroad so try your luck and see what comes out of if
But you must be ready to withstand alot like sight of blood, wounds and the rest.
Then the reading it self not funny but with determination you can.
Best of luck

Put your age aside. Since you like Nursing, please go for it and I will advise that if you have much money please consider studying it in the UK

The trend now is to come to UK for a industrial masters (2 years) and also work as a carer to get experience. After studies you will have 2 years post graduate visa to look for work, while looking for a better job you will save enough money from the care job and apply for masters in nursing(any path except ICU nursing).

Mind you regardless of your background once you have experience in care you are qualified to apply for a two years master in nursing using a the funds you saved as a carer.

After the nursing you will get another 2 years post graduate visa, there are high chances you will secure a job before the 2 years expires, the job comes with 5 yrs visa.

My brother or shey it's sister, nursing has prospects both within and without Nigeria.

Considering your age, going for basic nursing of 3 years is your best bet. Medicine is outta the question because that will be 6 years plus and the stress may not be worth it. BSc nursing will also take you 5 years to get certified.

As I speak, news from a former colleague is that around 15 nurses in a particular health institution in the south west have migrated within this year alone to places like UK, Canada and Australia. And about 10 medical doctors. The IELTS requirement for nurses is less stringent than it is for doctors, so passing the exam is easier. In addition, as a nurse unlike doctors that require two exams, you only have one exam after IELTS and bam, your dream to the UK is sealed.

I know ladies that never had any exposure to science while in Nigeria but on migrating to Australia decided to study nursing for about two years. One year after employment, they own their own house.
