This post will clear your mind on the possibility of gaining admission into Nursing schools in Nigeria with a deficiency in any of the listed subjects. I will be fast enough in answering this question, yet you must read to the end of this post for more important guides.
Schools of Nursing Are Not Accepting Pass in the Required Subjects
Generally, before you're admitted for Basic Nursing or General Nursing program, you must possess at least 5 credit passes in not more than two sittings. The required subjects for Nursing are:
- English,
- Mathematics,
- Biology,
- Chemistry, and
- Physics
The credit passes can come from any of WAEC, NABTEB, GCE, and NECO. Although some of these schools of Nursing are not accepting NABTEB till date. This may change anyway.
Now, can any of the available schools of nursing in Nigeria waive any of these subjects?
The answer is NO.
No school of nursing to does this, be it private, state, or federal will accept a pass in English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or Maths.
Grades Required For Nursing Schools
As earlier mentioned, there were five subjects needed. Your Civic Education, Bookkeeping, Computer Studies, Animal Husbandry, etc are irrelevant to Nursing as a program.
These colleges of nursing will accept A1, B2, B3, C4, C5, or C6 in any of the five listed subjects. There is no preference for a particular grade. That is, they don't usually state that As or Bs will be given priority over Cs. However, these schools may be choosy if the competition is high among the candidates. In which case, better grades my be a deciding factor for admission.
Moreover, apart from the required grades, candidates are required to take part in entrance exams to weed out some candidates. After which the shortlisted candidates will be subjected to physical interviews.
Therefore, having the right or better SSCE subjects and grades may not be enough if you don't do well in the exams and Interview of your aspired Institution.
