As for studying abroad I have no information whatsoever on how to go about it
I need advice from you dear nairalanders. Thank you

Biochemistry is more like a medical course

It may be possible for Nursing with direct entry I don't really know

If you have the money to study in a private university in Nigeria

Its actually better to study abroad instead

There are some affordable universities in Europe and the UK

You can always do a simple Google search and check the websites of universities there to get an Idea of everything first.

Go back to the school you graduated from, speak to your HOD and yhe dean of your faculty.
If you were a good student, they will help you to speak to the department of nursing to enter as a direct entry Student straight to 200 level.

Most of the schools I saw said their nursing is for home and not for international students

As to whether you are qualified for Direct entry, yes you are qualified both in Nigeria and abroad, though some Universities in Nigeria will require Second class upper but there are many of them that will accept you with Lower division especially private universities.
As for whether to study abroad or here in Nigeria. It is always better abroad but it all depends on your capacity financially. For instance UK, US, Australia and Canada universities, you need between 8M to 25M each session for Tuition alone depending on the school and country. But for other European countries like Cyprus, Malta,Georgia(country), Russia etc, you need just between 4M to 7M each session as fees. All in Naira ooo. If you know your onions very well, you can get a fully or partially funded scholarship though.
Now, the onus is on you to make your choice.
Good luck

I graduated from Lautech and my undergraduate study was prolonged due to strike that's why I now prefer a private university

Alas! LAUTECH strike back in the days of "constituted authority ".
Yes,Biochemistry is in Basic medical sciences, thus you are qualified to apply for direct entry into Nursing 200 level
Or
You can start afresh in a state school of Nursing.

If you have money to study abroad, I will tell you the options you have before you rush into nursing. Nigerians always rush into what many people talk about.

The hype about nursing is high because most developed nations' citizens do not want to do the job. Despite the somehow pay increment, they still don't want to do it.

Dearest, since you are into biochemistry look into:

1. Genetical Science and Gene Editing: You will be dazzled with what you will become after your masters in this course. If you master gene editing with one of the latest technology, your future is secured. Read about CRISPR-cas9 and the wonders it is doing in plant, animal
and human science.

2. Microorganisms study: You can go into any area in plants and seeds, animals or humans. If you know the future of the study of microorganisms, you will get my point.

3. Environmental Science and Ecology. This area is too wide. You can look into regenerative agriculture, carbon cycle and areas around it, clean energy, renewable energy, etc.


Let me tell you...biochemistry is one of the best foundational courses to launch into a disruptive technological career. Soil science is huge now also.


Good luck!

N.B. This post is for those planning to study abroad. If you go into any of these courses in Naija now....na hunger go reformat your brain.

You can seek ission in universities abroad and study for free (no tuition) in countries like , Austria Norway etc. Or you go for low tuition countries like , Czech, Hungary, (Ukraine was on the list before the war).

You can also go in with direct entry (200 level) at a private university in Nigeria, where you can graduate n schedule., but more expensive.

A search on Google can reveal more options to you.

Dear Op
I might be forced to say “Nursing Is overrated in Nigeria”
I have a friend that studied nursing in one of the prestigious Fed uni in Nigeria, graduated with a 2.1

Next month will make it a year she graduated and she is still looking for a place that can accept her for her mandatory 1 year internship.

Deemamadee:

Please check out schools in Lithuania. Their nursing degree is not as expensive but top quality.

Is it better for him to start nursing from undergraduate program?

There's no big advantage between studying medical courses in Nigeria and abroad at the undergraduate level.

It's just pure waste of money

He/She can still practice abroad after studying in Nigeria at a relatively cheaper rate, as long as he/she is bright enough to acquire the licence of the foreign country
