ABOUT NATIONAL DIPLOMA NURSING PROGRAMME
ND Nursing programme was meant to give legal backing by the Federal Government for the award of ACADEMIC CERTIFICATES to Nurses who graduate from Nursing institutions. The ND/HND Nursing programme has been designed to allow for seamless academic progression of graduates along the already existing system of education in the country. It also takes cognizance of the new scheme of service for Nurses in Nigeria approved by the National Council of Establishment in 2016.
The ND/HND Nursing is a four-year UNINTERUPTED programme i.e 2 years for ND and 2 years for HND. Students starts with ND Nursing programme which is a non-terminal programme. The ND Nursing graduates with minimum CGPA of 2.5 (Lower Credit) will then proceed for HND Nursing.
