List of Approved Nursing Training Institutions in Nigeria 2024
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 essential component of the healthcare system, includes the promotion of health, sickness prevention, and care of physically ill, mentally ill, and disabled persons of all ages in all healthcare and other community settings. Nurses perform so many distinct duties that it is impossible to summarise them all in a single job title.
