REASON WHY YOU SHOULD STUDY NURSING IN NIGERIA BEFORE YOU TRAVEL ABROAD
REASON WHY YOU SHOULD STUDY NURSING IN NIGERIA BEFORE YOU TRAVEL ABROAD
Many people want to travel abroad to study Nursing. But the smartest move is to start your Nursing journey here in Nigeria first. Here is why.
1. NMCN LICENCE OPENS DOORS WORLDWIDE
When you study in an NMCN approved School of Nursing in Nigeria, you become a Registered Nurse RN after 3 years. That NMCN licence is recognized by many countries. With it, you can write licensing exams like NCLEX for US and Canada, CBT for UK, and AHPRA for Australia.
If you travel abroad without NMCN licence, most countries will treat you like a fresh secondary school leaver. You will spend 4 to 5 years starting all over. If you go with NMCN licence, you only write one exam and you start working.
2. YOU SAVE MILLIONS IN TUITION
A Nursing degree in the UK, US, or Canada costs 15 million to 30 million Naira per year. In Nigeria, a full 3-year Basic Nursing programme in a Federal or State school costs 450,000 to 900,000 Naira total.
Train here, get your RN, work for 1 to 2 years, save money, then travel. You will enter abroad as a qualified nurse, not as a student paying heavy fees.
3. YOU GAIN REAL CLINICAL EXPERIENCE EARLY
Nigerian Schools of Nursing put you in the hospital from 100 level. By the time you finish, you have delivered babies, set IV lines, dressed wounds, and managed emergencies.
Many students who travel abroad for Nursing spend first 2 years only in class. Hospitals abroad trust Nigerian-trained nurses because we are hands-on. That experience makes you pass NCLEX and job interviews faster.
4. FASTER PATH TO RELOCATE WITH YOUR FAMILY
Countries like UK, Canada, and Australia are currently recruiting Nigerian nurses. Their process is: Verify your NMCN licence, pass IELTS and CBT, get job offer, relocate. The whole process can take 8 to 12 months.
If you go abroad to study Nursing first, you spend 4 years in school, then 1 year looking for work permit. Total 5 years before you can bring your family. Starting in Nigeria cuts that time by half.
5. YOU CAN WORK AND EARN IN NIGERIA WHILE PLANNING TO TRAVEL
After 3 years, you are an RN. You can work in a private hospital and earn 80,000 to 200,000 Naira monthly while writing IELTS and processing your abroad papers.
If you travel to school first, you cannot work as a nurse. You will do menial jobs to survive. Starting here gives you income and dignity.
6. YOU AVOID “JAPA” FRUSTRATION
Many people who travel abroad to study Nursing later discover their school is not approved or their credits won’t transfer. They waste years and money.
NMCN approved schools in Nigeria are safe. Your certificate is valid forever. You can use it to work here or abroad anytime.
7. YOU CAN STILL SUCCEED IF YOU DECIDE TO STAY IN NIGERIA
Not everyone will travel. With your RN certificate you can:
Work in Teaching Hospitals like LUTH, UCH, ABUTH with good salary and pension
Open a private maternity home after getting your RM
Cross to BNSc Direct Entry and become a Nursing Officer
Join NGOs, oil companies, or Federal Government agencies
Lecturing and administration after your Masters
So you are not stranded if your abroad plan delays.
BOTTOM LINE
Study Nursing in Nigeria first. Get your NMCN licence. Then travel as a professional. You will save money, save time, and earn respect.
Traveling to study Nursing without experience is like going to war without a weapon.
