- You have to know the list of the universities accepting DE applicants for Nursing - since, of course, not all universities are.
- 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"
All Universities are Accepting DE Applicants for Nursing
At the time of this post, all universities offering Nursing/Nursing Science are accepting Direct Entry candidates.
Hence, once you have the requirements, you can check for your favorite university and consider that during the JAMB DE registration or while changing institutions/courses.

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.

Hello Mr Techie
ReplyDeleteI have a degree in Biology Education (B.ED)
Ans I want to study Nursing as a second Degree..
How do I go about it sir?
You'd better obtain a new JAMB UTME nd process Nursing. I'm not sure any university can accept education for Nursing. They majorly accept RN and post RN midwifery and degrees in medical and clinical courses.
DeleteSsir pls is they any exam for nursing direct e try exams
ReplyDeleteMost universities won't conduct entrance exams for their Direct entry applicants, those going for degree nursing. Yet, we still have a few e.g. UNILORIN that still does such exams. Find out about your own school before deciding.
DeleteFor the schools of Nursing, to study basic nursing, generally all conduct entrance exams
Good day,
