Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria

The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, known as NMCN, regulates nursing practice in the country. Every nurse needs its licence to work. This category gathers our NMCN guides on registration, exams, fees and nursing schools. Use them to plan each step of your career.

Start with the basics. Learn about schools of nursing in Nigeria and read the differences between a school of nursing and a university. Both guides help you choose the right path. You can also practise with our nursing school entrance exam questions.

Next, prepare for the licensing exam. Study the NMCN exam syllabus so you know what examiners expect. Then test yourself with the NMCN RN past questions. Our guide on how to pass the NMCN exam shares tips that raise your score.

Sort out the paperwork early. Follow the steps for NMCN exam registration and check the current NMCN fees. If you need help in person, find the nearest NMCN office in Nigeria.
