It’s good to have passion and follow it however,the only challenge is that people with no nursing backgrounds here either do the Access to HE diploma route or degree apprenticeship pathway and these are mostly not open to overseas students.
If you have 5 credits including English,maths and biology you can apply as an undergraduate in some universities but with the pound to Naira conversion on a 3 year course that’s a lot of money spending.
You can consider qualifying in Nigeria and then come to the United Kingdom for MSc Nursing.
Go look on YouTube you would learn how some Nigerian nurses(and non nurses) who now work abroad explain their journey.

Thanks a lot. This helps. I have 5 credits which includes English, Mathematics and Biology.

I have one follow-up question. If I'm doing a 3 years undergraduate course, do I need maintenance cost for the 3 years or just for 9months?

Good evening eldergods of the house and mortals. Please I need your advice. I am an accountant by profession. I have been working in the federal Civil service as an accountant for the past 9 years. I am married with 2 kids and I'm 33 years old. I have no prior experience in the health sector. However, I want to study nursing as I have no love for accounting. I actually have the passion for nursing.

Please what are my chances?
Is it doable?
Which uk university need I apply to?

Thanks for your anticipated responses?
