I wish to make it known publicly that I run consultation services on female health and pregnancy on mobile basis. This is will allow me to have a special private discussion with all respective subjects as necessary. Being suggested as putting all things make and put together, it is not going to run free.

HOW TO START:
At first I thought it was good rendering out this service on phone call,it came so late that conversation through any of these messengers was alright. And using the whatapps messenger has proved it worth. Please in order to start,I would prefer; i) You call to introduce yourself. ii) You may also state clearly what service you really require from me iii) if you don't feel like calling,you may also send it through by normal text messages iv)Don't make any payment until you have discus this with me v) Make transfer of service charges and confirm on my end if I have been credited. vi) You may start conversing with me on whatapps or if you don't mind tell me when you want the consultation.

PAYMENT: Service is render before payment as to avoid any case of incongruent complexities. Regarding this, I will duly indulge everyone to be churchly minded that operating under falsity and scamming is highly disapproving. Let's do things right.
PAYMENT METHOD: Mobile transfer of service charges is richly advisable.

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.

The system is so rigged....hell it's just like starting all over again. You will see your counterpart having a PhD before 25 there, but here....ASUU, NYSC and lecturer's frustration is enough to kill the dream of education in a zealous student. Pathetic excuse of a country. I am connected to a 30 year old interventional neurosurgeon on LinkedIn, quite unlikely in a pissed off cesspit I am in.

True. I warned a lady against doing Noun bachelor's in nursing program with her RN, some 2yrs plus ago. Today she has her bachelors and master's in UK, for the nursing sciences, and is already planning for a PHD.
We shouldn't use degrees as a tool to fight interprofessional tussle. Medicine will say no direct entry, The labs will say the biochemistry graduates must get fresh jamb forms. Whereas a Microbiology graduate can go to a neighbouring African country do a 2 years and get a MLS bachelors.
generalbush: 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.
Are nursing students not allowed to become pregnant?
generalbush: 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
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)
lilyheaven: 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.
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.
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
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
Graciousluvey: 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
by going directly to the school of nursing, you are adding to the problems of the profession

The pain is that you can advance your career to the administrative level bet it with me. Your option is to work in the hospitals, gain experience and thereafter open your maternity clinic. For the Bsc you have an added advantage especially as a male you earn more and advance more. Fine there is stereotype but you don't go on maternity leave. A master's of a year and the half or two years is worth it. Thereafter go for your NCLEX to get Licesenced in the USA. There are so many specialities to pick from just like medicine.e.g. Paediatric Nursing earns 960000 dollars per year and over 8000 dollars per year based on your experience A Nurse practicioner can earn earn 102 thousand dollars. They diagnose, treat and care for patients. People Find strange being a nurse as a man in Nigeria and sometimes laugh at you but they don't know you have an added advantage abroad. Mind you male nurses earn more than 5000 dollar than females.
Almost everyone I know, knows someone that studied or wants to study Nursing. I made this detailed video on how to become a nurse in Nigeria ; the routes, their requirements, pros, cons and my personal opinions.
Pls for someone who already has a BSc in Public Health or Microbiology & wants to go to a school of nursing, will d person still spend 3yrs for d RN prog, or will d spend 2yrs, since he already has a Bsc? An informed answer will be appreciated. Thanks.
I believe that every self-respecting nurse should take phlebotomy courses. I'm not sure that they are included in the general nursing course, so I decided to share those where I went. There are excellent teachers and clear explanations — https://phlebotomynearyou.com/phlebotomist-job-description/. Now I sometimes work as a phlebotomist in my clinic, and I can get an additional fee. However, I am glad to see that more and more people want to become nurses. We often have a shortage of suitable personnel. We are waiting for you!
