- You equally need to understand where those universities require BSC (Degree), HND, NCE, IJMB, JUPEB, or any other Advanced A'level programmes.
This post will strictly list the requirements of universities offering Nursing Direct Entry (200 level admissions). If you want to know those accepting applicants for UTME (100 level admissions), read "34 Universities Offering Nursing and Requirements"

ReplyDeleteIf you read the post again, you will notice there is no school accepting that (at least not right now). The information in this post is in accordance with the JAMB brochure. However, you can visit a few school to see if they can consider you.
