Deemamadee:Go back to the school you graduated from, speak to your HOD and yhe dean of your faculty. If you were a good student, they will help you to speak to the department of nursing to enter as a direct entry Student straight to 200 level. 37 Likes 1 Share |

Deemamadee:As to whether you are qualified for Direct entry, yes you are qualified both in Nigeria and abroad, though some Universities in Nigeria will require Second class upper but there are many of them that will accept you with Lower division especially private universities. As for whether to study abroad or here in Nigeria. It is always better abroad but it all depends on your capacity financially. For instance UK, US, Australia and Canada universities, you need between 8M to 25M each session for Tuition alone depending on the school and country. But for other European countries like Cyprus, Malta,Georgia(country), Russia etc, you need just between 4M to 7M each session as fees. All in Naira ooo. If you know your onions very well, you can get a fully or partially funded scholarship though. Now, the onus is on you to make your choice. Good luck 13 Likes 1 Share |

Deemamadee:If you have money to study abroad, I will tell you the options you have before you rush into nursing. Nigerians always rush into what many people talk about. The hype about nursing is high because most developed nations' citizens do not want to do the job. Despite the somehow pay increment, they still don't want to do it. Dearest, since you are into biochemistry look into: 1. Genetical Science and Gene Editing: You will be dazzled with what you will become after your masters in this course. If you master gene editing with one of the latest technology, your future is secured. Read about CRISPR-cas9 and the wonders it is doing in plant, animal and human science. 2. Microorganisms study: You can go into any area in plants and seeds, animals or humans. If you know the future of the study of microorganisms, you will get my point. 3. Environmental Science and Ecology. This area is too wide. You can look into regenerative agriculture, carbon cycle and areas around it, clean energy, renewable energy, etc. Let me tell you...biochemistry is one of the best foundational courses to launch into a disruptive technological career. Soil science is huge now also. Good luck! N.B. This post is for those planning to study abroad. If you go into any of these courses in Naija now....na hunger go reformat your brain. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Deemamadee:You can seek admission in universities abroad and study for free (no tuition) in countries like Germany, Austria Norway etc. Or you go for low tuition countries like France, Czech, Hungary, (Ukraine was on the list before the war). You can also go in with direct entry (200 level) at a private university in Nigeria, where you can graduate n schedule., but more expensive. A search on Google can reveal more options to you. |

Dear Op I might be forced to say “Nursing Is overrated in Nigeria” I have a friend that studied nursing in one of the prestigious Fed uni in Nigeria, graduated with a 2.1 Next month will make it a year she graduated and she is still looking for a place that can accept her for her mandatory 1 year internship. |

Isobug: There's no big advantage between studying medical courses in Nigeria and abroad at the undergraduate level. It's just pure waste of money He/She can still practice abroad after studying in Nigeria at a relatively cheaper rate, as long as he/she is bright enough to acquire the licence of the foreign country |
