The list of approved Schools of Nursing, Midwifery, Post Basic Nursing and the Departments of Nursing with their accreditation status and admission quota on a state basis in Nigeria.
Nursing, as an integral part of the health care system, encompasses the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and care of physically ill, mentally ill, and disabled people of all ages, in all health care and other community settings. Nurses play so many different roles that it’s impossible to encompass it all in just one job title.
Find below the list of Nursing Training Institutions in Nigeria approved by the Nursing & Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN).
