Nursing Students
Nursing is a noble profession that requires a high level of education and training. In Nigeria, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is the standard entrance exam for all tertiary institutions, including nursing schools. However, there are a few nursing schools in Nigeria that do not require JAMB. These schools typically have their own entrance exams or selection criteria.
