It all depends on what you really want. It also depends on how soon you really want to become independent.
Going to UK for nursing will obviously make you financially independent fast ,and also hasten your chances of getting permanent leave to remain abroad and become citizen. Pay for nurses should be slightly lower than that of doctor except you combine jobs but you can progress your career in nursing and comparatively lower the gap . Which ever way,the pay will cater for your basic needs.
Then for the Russia path to study medicine, you will likely still have to come back to Nigeria after studies for internship,because Russia won't give you job as a doctor. Then you start writing foreign exams( requires hard work and finance to pass) and start applying for jobs and visa abroad.
Just to summarise it,the time it will take you to finish the Russian medicine pathway to travelling abroad would earn you citizen in UK as a nurse if the nursing pathway is followed.
So it all depends on what you want. At 21,you still have age on your side which is an advantage so any part you chose to follow still gives you time to achieve whatever you want.

Hello crushsugar, being UK RN, what advantage will BSC Nursing Hons give you that your current UK RN will not give you? Also, will your employer sponsor this and how long will the program last? Are you able to do this program while working? Many thanks in anticipation.

James150:
But how much do they pay nurses there at d UK like those with diploma from Nigeria and the bsc how long will u get it and what's d fees

crushsugar:
It is Christmas time in the city

crushsugar:


The Bsc would give me nothing immediate but I have long term plans to further my studies to the peak.
My employer is not sponsoring. But there are employers who support. I didn't bother checking if mine will.
The program spans between 1-2 years. If you want to do it in a year, you obviously have to do more modules per time.
It is an online program designed to help those working.

crushsugar:

Between 24,000 and 30,000 pa
1-2 years online, 1year full time on campus.
Fees right now for full time is between 9-11k plus, online is 5k plus.

Hello, house. I'm a graduate of Human Physiology. Please how do I become a registered nurse and eventually get to practice in the UK? Are there any accelerated nursing programs I can enroll for from Nigeria?
I look forward to receiving your responses to my questions..
Thanks.

crushsugar:

Acceleration is not in Nigerian education system.
In fact one of the reasons I had to leave was that I needed to spend 4 years to get Bsc Nursing after doing school of nursing for 3 years and post basic nursing for 1½ years.
The quicker you can get would be Babcock university.
Lautech degree is fast but it is for registered Nurses.
You can either start from 200L Nursing or Do School of Nursing for 3years.

BarristerAlarig:




You could start your BNSC from Noun. Infact, you can start from 200lvl and spend just 4years.

The entrance requirement into Noun's Nursing program is either a RN/RM or a Bachelor's degree in any if the health/biological/life sciences.

crushsugar:
Just a view on one early evening.
It gets dark before 4pm now and starts getting bright around 8pm. Characteristics of autumn.

Ekehwinz:
