Thanks a lot for this piece of information. I heard that for number 3 here, one has to register as an adult nurse if their certificate is the RN diploma (that's if they are registered nurses). How true is that please?

Yes. Basically If you’re a registered nurse RN/BSc you register as an adult nurse. If you want to register as a mental health nurse or midwife(for those with such qualifications) you’d take a different exam.

my friend is finding it difficult to pay for OET exam with his Nigeria cards. What could be the problem?

Don’t forget there’s a limit to international payments on naira cards. Not sure how much it is now though..

How to become a Registered Nurse in Nigeria

Almost everyone I know, knows someone that wants to study nursing or switch careers to become a nurse..So, I made a video detailing the process and also my opinion about the available routes.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtN9kJVjo5k

Here's a brief breakdown on how you can become a Nurse in Nigeria

Major routes
• School of Nursing (general nursing program)
• University (Bachelor of Nursing Science)

SON requirements

5 credit passes in WAEC/NECO/NABTEB
✓Physics
✓Chemistry
✓Biology
✓English
✓Maths..in not more than 2 sittings
Plus some other personal documents like birth certificate, state of origin, school leaving cert etc

NB. Depending on the school, you may write an entrance exam (may entail phy,chem,bio, English, Maths & current affairs) and an interview.

Advantages of SON Route

It's shorter (3 years duration)
Early exposure to clinical areas

Disadvantages of SON Route

Gradually being phased out
Only RN certificate/license is awarded
Longer route to get BNSc

BNSc requirements

Same as for SON + JAMB

Advantages of BNSc route

More sought after these days
Academic degree + RN + RM and in some cases RPHN
Easier advancement to masters and doctorate degrees
Paid 1 year internship program

Disadvantages of BNSc

It takes longer (If your main aim is to travel abroad ASAP)
I hope this was informative for your pleasure.

Yeah I did studied in North Cyprus and am Asst.Professor now working with North Cyprus university and British Uni both as research scientist and as lecturer... ....I will be willing to have you in my class....next year I shall announce a Turkish sponsored project that will allow me to finance 2-4 graduate students working in my new lab.........

That great, good for you. I'm still gathering info, before I make up my mind to apply. I'm getting overwhelmed sef,I know it sounds cliché but if its possible to contact you via email, I'll be glad.

wip7:
Really Try to visit each of the university website, go straight on the link of accreditation and recognition and see for yourself..then come back and write what you find out here, then you may visit those accrediation/recognition bodies to ascertain the validity.....thats how you do research...!!!

yea thanks, I'll do that today. Do/did you study in north Cyprus?

kheme:
@Europe 76: make una no spoil Cyprus for me oh!!!

you know the really funny thing about this cyprus issue 100% of those people talking trash about this island, when you ask them to leave and return to their country, dem no go go!?!?! isn't that ironic island no good, island no good, ok, GO HOME na, dem say NO! how do you explain that

i love photography, and i have tons and tons of photos. every month (not intentionally) we look through old photos and we see how much weight people have put on on this island. people come here skiny and gain weight. seriously, when some people came to North Cyprus first, they were like sick people compared to what they look like NOW. let someone say again that Cyprus is crap!

if the place is as bad, then why are people coming here to find work or coming here to pass out to other places doesn't that show how "good" this place is (contrary to the crap people say) ??

yes, job is hard to find in north cyprus, but when you get it, u fit compare am to wetin people dey pay for 9ja a friend of mine washes plates at a resturant here, she makes 1,600 turkish lira a month. at the current exchange rate from www.xe.com, 1,600TL = 157,000 naira I BEG TELL ME HOW MANY PLACES IN NIGERIA YOU WILL WASH PLATES AND MAKE 160K A MONTH?

and yea, things are expensive here, it's an island, and is not even a real country politically, what do you expect that things will be cheap here? and when they say its expensive, NOT everything is expensive here at all. i spend about 100TL a month on feeding, that;s roughly 10k naira. 1kg of rice is 300naira here, 1kg of gizzard is 300 naira, beef 1,200 naira, sugar 80naira, 1liter milk 160, what's the difference the difference is not so much. as for electronics sha, dont think it, cyprus is expensive, but just relatively. depending on what you're buying, prices may vary from 500naira to 10,000 naira.

this is another country, currency is different, money is different, you cant base costs of things here with the same eye as your country's currency, a big mistake people make when they come here. taxi in north cyprus is 5lira (typical price) which is 500naira. i was in nigeria last month, taxi in abuja is 200 naira, taxi in lagos i 1500. ALL TAXIS IN NORTH CYPRUS ARE BENZ, and i dont mean regular, i mean real benz, like C CLASS. i've even seen crysler eagle TAXI in kyrenia!!! a typical plate of food is from 500 to 2,000 naira, what's the difference? and i mean tooshed up restaurants and cafes.

yea, north cyprus is not your typical europe, but still its a place i've loved for 4yrs and i dont see what's not to like about cyprus. no jobs like that, mainly cos of the resident permit issue. its a small country, they're managing their resources. almost everything here comes from turkey. everything here is controlled, so to speak. life is simple and easy. there's little or no crime, the place is safe, its quiet, its calm and relaxing, i dont know what else people want for a place like this oh!

if you dont like it, simple go away, rather than spoil the people for those who might actually have a future here. as for me, cyprus is home for me now

sounds nice, is it true that the north Cyprian schools are not internationally recognised?

I'm about to apply for a masters program in GAU. I'm still making research tho. Please what is Cyprus really like? I want an insider's perspective. Thanks

Hello everyone. I just came across this post, hope I'm not late i have a bachelors degree in public health with no working experience yet, and now I have the opportunity to do a masters program in health and hospital management in north Cyprus. I need suggestions and more information please.
