by going directly to the school of nursing, you are adding to the problems of the profession

in what way please?

faheez:

there exist this usual belief that products from schools of nursing are more sound in health care delivery( as in manual dexterity ) because they get exposed to clinical experience immediately after there first 6month in school and they will constantly move from class -- ward, ward-- class almost every month till they finish their 3 years program.. compare to university nursing student that will start going to the ward maybe after their 300level. the above stated point cannot be 100% correct because we will still have students from school of nursing that will not be serious, viz we having university students that will go extra mile to learn. So question about who is better might be down on individuals zeal to learn. But in actuality, SON students get exposed to clinicals more than university students but I'm not saying they are better.

Also in terms of career prospects, the university way is far better than the School of nursing way because a university student spend 5 years and within this period he/she gets RN, (RM or RPN) and BNSc I.e 2 professional certificate and a degree which is an academic certificate
while a school of nursing student spends 3 years and gets only RN which is 1 professional certificate and for you to get degree,you have to wait for 1year to jamb direct entry to 200level, so another 4years for degree. so 3years + 1year + 4years = 8years... so someone spent just 5years while someone will spend 8 years. Do the math and choose wisely..

there's something called RN to BSc program and it lasts for about 18 months that's like 1 and half years if you do it abroad, so I'm not going to write jamb and waste my time

MrBigiman:


That to show how bad the Nigerian system is. In the confused naija, u have to re-do a lazy 4-5 yrs program. Whereas u go to South-Africa, UK, or US and do, 2,1 and 2 years upgrade BSC courses respectively, and still get more respect. We love to make things hard for ourselves in this country.

Nigerians have a silly mentality of "They must go through the same process" and it's very bad. Funny enough, a nurse I know was given an "unconditional" admission into a UK university to do her masters because of knowledge she got during her Nursing diploma and her friend a medical doctor was given a "conditional" admission because she lacked the same knowledge.. This same nurse also did an RN to BSc program that lasted for one year in South Africa.. This country taya me

fetrillion:

Pls op,can I still start a nursing career at 30yrs of age..preferably,SON n then proceed abroad.What advice can u give to this?

You can dear. I think that post is so discouraging. There's also something called an RN to BSN program that allows you to upgrade from a registered nurse to a degree holder without starting afresh. And it lasts for about 1 and half years. Don't let anybody discourage you.

Then after graduation, the qualified nurse will end up in private hospitals with auxiliary nurses ( employed by medical consultants. Kpom! Nigeria which way.

very true my dear.. After All the stress and degrading one another.
