About the programme
This interview is for applicants seeking direct entry to a nursing degree in Nigeria after an eligible prior qualification. The panel explores what you already know, how you will adapt to the degree and whether your judgement reflects safe, accountable care. Applicants should confirm current eligibility and document rules through the university and other official admission bodies.
How to prepare
- Map the main subjects and practical experience from your prior qualification to the nursing degree.
- Identify knowledge gaps you may face when joining at an advanced point and plan how to address them.
- Prepare examples of applying feedback, following clinical instructions and reporting safety concerns.
- Explain why further nursing study fits your professional direction rather than simply repeating earlier training.
- Check the university's official direct-entry guidance and JAMB information for current requirements.
Common mistakes
- Assuming previous training means there will be nothing new to learn.
- Giving vague descriptions of earlier clinical exposure without explaining your actual role.
- Treating different procedures as interchangeable instead of checking the current instruction.
- Relying on unofficial admission advice rather than current official guidance.
