Nursing is one of the most sort after profession in Nigeria making attending a School of Nursing the best alternative to a university degree.
The duration of study at Nursing Schools in Nigeria is between two (2) to four (4) years to become a qualified Nurse.
There is an increasing list of School of Nursing in Nigeria that now requires JAMB as an admission requirement. It means that you must sit for the UTME exam and get a minimum score usually 160 to gain admission.
You don’t need to worry if you did not sit for the JAMB exam as there are still plenty of schools you can apply to without JAMB.
Let me know in the comment if you have any questions or need further clarifications. I would love to hear from you.

Sorry I want to know the difference between college of nursing and university of nursing
Esther,
A “College of Nursing” typically offers diploma or associate degree programs, focusing intensely on practical clinical skills and preparing students for direct entry into registered nursing roles, usually in a shorter timeframe (around 2-3 years).
In contrast, a “University of Nursing” (often a department or school within a larger university) provides a broader academic curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and often higher degrees like MSN or DNP, emphasizing critical thinking, research, and leadership, with programs typically lasting 4-5 years for undergraduate studies.
While both lead to becoming a Registered Nurse, the university path offers a more comprehensive education, often opening doors to advanced practice, specialized roles, and further academic pursuits.
