I am a 32 years old lady, married with two kids, I studied Economics as my first degree. I wish to fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse and I plan on travelling abroad to do that. Can 3-4million take me abroad to pursue this dream? Which country is the cheapest to study nursing? Will it be possible to go with my husband/kids? And can I work while I study?

Study nursing here in Nigeria its cheaper. That money you put up is not enough. Nigerians nurses are easily going to uk and it wont stop anytime soon.

That was what I intended doing last year but considering my age with 2 kids and the way the Nigerian universities goes on indefinite strike at random, let's not also forget that nursing is a five years course in Nigeria

At 32, your frustration will know no bound, if you dare get admitted in a Nigerian University.
When will you graduate?
Biko, maximize the opportunity you have now. Nursing isn't that cheap to study, but you can also work while studying.
Consider the US or Canada.
With that 3 million, you'll pay for the first year tuition.
And your husband wouldn't have to stay back in Naija as he'll qualify as spouse of the student.
UK unis are pretty expensive.
So, I strongly recommend America or Canada.

All the best!

You had everything going right for you to easily exploit multiple options in the very best countries with that amount and your young age.

Well, that was until a husband and 2 kids entered the equation.

Final Verdict: That amount would be enough for one applicant, but you'll need quadruple that to convince any responsible embassy that you won't become a liability with your family.
If you can at least triple that amount, then Sweden would have been nice, especially because English is common there. Then maybe Germany, even the United States.
