In Nigeria, some polytechnics and colleges now offer Nursing courses approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN). These courses lead to National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) qualifications. Basic Requirements For Nursing Programs In Nigeria Polytechnics and Colleges Here are the main details about these nursing programs: For Students: - The program lasts four years to earn ND/HND Nursing degrees. - To qualify, students need 5 O’ Level credits in subjects like English, Mathematics, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. - Graduates must pass professional exams from the NMCN to become registered nurses. They can specialize in Midwifery or Public Health Nursing. For Polytechnics and Colleges: - These institutions must operate as Colleges of Nursing and have a legal basis and a Governing Board. - Departments include Nursing, Midwifery, Public Health, and Basic Sciences, each with qualified teachers. Despite limited responses, a few polytechnics and colleges in Nigeria have started offering Nursing programs. Below is a list of some institutions currently offering Nursing: 1. Nigerian Army College of Nursing, Yaba, Lagos State This college, managed by the Nigerian Army, offers certificates in Nursing Science at both National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) levels.
