BNsc nurses don't wait till 300level before they start clinical posting sir. I'm sure u r not one cos dts very ridiculous and strange. I am a BNsc nurse n I started my clinicals after year one, things have changed now.

Plus u might not be completely wrong probably some universities do that or were doing dt but not in my school where I graduated. All the same, nice write up.

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..

Op can a male university nurse graduate take delivery?

I op I can answer as a (MALE) nurse... First of all, wot kinda mumu question is dt! As long as you are qualified (BNSc comes with RN nd also RM qualifications). RM (Registered Midwife) is actually a specialty/post basic course... Sometimes u might v issues generally bin employed as a male nurse due to Nigeria factor tho.

I don't know your plan , but if you want to work for Nigeria government. Forget that Bsc nursing from Cotonou. You won't be allowed to practice as a Registered Nurse here in Nigeria, except you want to be an educated auxiliary.

My sister fished from Cotonou as a registered nurse and she is practicing in Lagos (Gov hospital)

Very Very well and sometimes better than their female counterparts. I'v seen male nurses whose first attempt at taking delivery is more perfect and neater than female nurses, now imagine their subsequent ones. That aside, I know some male nurses who are so good with taking deliveries that they no longer want to take normal ones but seek to take complicated deliveries. Some do all these well with just their BNSc training, you just might not really find many of them specializing in midwifery

like someone said earlier, its a matter of having the zeal and loving what one does. With these, you can be better than others.

Majority of all health practitioner are all licensed in Nigeria, Doctors by MDCN, nurses by NMNC, Lab scientist by Mlscn, pharmacist by pcn , e.t.c


The Nigeria medical postgraduate college is mainly for Medical doctors.
No matter your postgraduate qualification, if don't have a Bsc in that field and aren't licensed, you can't practice.

Do you aspire to become a Registered nurse in Nigeria? This post will clearly explain to you how to achieve that. Before you go ahead to purchase any nursing form, be sure to go through this post and get the best insight on how to become a nurse in Nigeria. Nursing was included as one of the best science courses in Nigeria

Do you know that there are three (3) ways to become a registered midwife or nurse in Nigeria? They are;

The 3-year basic Midwifery Training Program
The 3 year basic General Nursing Program and
The 5-year BSc Nursing Degree Program

https://dailystudentinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/nurses__optimized.jpg

The advantage is that these three routes have the same entry requirement of five credits in five subjects which are; English, Maths, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry in not more than 2 sittings. To enter major universities to study nursing, you must have credits in the above courses listed above. The difference is the Jamb requirements for the BNSc programme. This means that you have the choice to either basic nursing/midwife program, or you sit for Jamb for the BNSc program.

The 5-year Generic BNSc Nursing Program

This program is designed to make you a polyvalent nursing practitioner. At the end of your program, you graduate with the General Nursing program qualification, the Midwifery program qualification, and a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing (BNSc). Depending on your institution, you can equally graduate with an extra qualification in public health nursing. With these qualifications, you can easily move on to earn your masters in Nursing before a PhD in Nursing. This is one of the routes to become a registered nurse in Nigeria.

The 3 year Basic Midwifery Training Program

The obvious drawback to this route is the fact that after qualifying as a registered midwife in this way, most recruiting organizations still request a double qualified practitioner. This means that you still have to go back for another 18 months post basic general nursing course. Another fact to note before using this route to become a registered nurse in Nigeria is that most Nigerian universities don’t accept RN for direct entry purposes.

The 3 year Basic General Nursing Program

For the basic general nursing program, an average of N250, 000 is needed for the admission fee. You should also know that the 3-year duration isn’t inclusive of the 6 months that you would spend in PTS. The 3 years can be extended to 4, 5 years in different guises such as demotion, pregnancy, suspension by SON principals, accreditation issues, failure in your exams, and other endless reasons.

Even after writing the NMCN exams, you would be required to spend some extra months working for free in hospital wards pending when the council releases your final qualifying result.

Another important fact to note is that the general nursing and basic midwifery routes are both hospital-based programs with professional licensure and it was only in October of 2007 that an expert assessors committee accorded the qualifications obtained therein the same as HND attracting a grade level08 (step 1) for employment purposes only and NOT for academic purposes.



A major advantage though, of obtaining an RN qualification either via route 1,2 or 3 to become a registered nurse in Nigeria is that it qualifies you to practice as a nurse abroad. RN qualification is also a valid requirement for further studies in the Nigerian university system for direct entry (DE) into degree programs in philosophy, psychology, social works etc



The major drawback for those who aspire to become a registered nurse in Nigeria at the moment is embroiled in a bitter fight for the soul of Nursing professionalism. Earning a degree in these previously and erroneously tagged “degrees allied to Nursing” according to our statutory regulatory body NMCN does not qualify one to progress to the directorate Nursing cadre. This stance by the NMCN reinforced the position of the National Council on the establishment (NCE) at its 37th Meeting in Akure where it stated that “Possession of a first degree in NURSING, not allied courses is a sine qua non of running the nursing officers cadre.





LUTH management also reaffirmed this when it refused accepting Masters degrees in these “allied course” obtained by lecturers in its school of Midwifery insisting that professional progression must be dependent on the acquisition of masters degree in core Nursing courses for holders of BNSc qualification, not masters in an allied course. Thus the route may provide an avenue for further degrees in other professional domains but these degrees outside of Nursing may count for nothing professionally.

In the long run, the abysmal remuneration of being a single qualified (RN) nurse would force you to seek further post basic qualification which costs an average of another N250,000 to N300,000 in admission costs. I forgot to add that most post basic programs would insist that you should have practised for at least 2 years before applying; a two-year experience you would gain trolling from one private hospital to another where you would be overworked and underpaid.

Remember, this post basic qualification to become a registered nurse in Nigeria is a prerequisite if you would want to be employed on GL 08 step 4 instead of step 1 if you had only an RN. What this means is that you may never get to the peak as your professional growth terminates abruptly at grade level 14 and you can only go beyond this on lateral conversion to the officer’s cadre following acquisition of a Nursing degree



By this time, six years or more would have rolled by. You probably have gotten married with kids and wishing you went with route 3 (BNSc Nursing). Albeit late, you decide to start the 4-year university route. If financially buoyant, you probably enrol in a neighbouring country like Benin Republic, Ghana, niger for a BNSc program or you spend another two years battling to get a DE admission to a Nigerian university.



Adult education at this time puts your marriage under strain, your life is put at risk as you make multiple treacherous travels to the university, the emotional and psychological torture cannot be quantified not to talk of the financial burden of university admission. The entire rigmarole is just time wasting, psychologically demeaning and heart-wrenching.





Globally, the system of education in nursing is changing. I sincerely hope that this article on NursingworldNigeria.com enlightens you to make an informed decision on which route suits you best. I wish you best of luck. (source: Nursing world)
