Congratulations Nigerian Nurses & Midwives🥂🎉🕺
NMCN Verification portal is now Re-opened🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🐓
In November 2023, the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) introduced more stringent rules in the verification process for Nigerian nurses and midwives, which led to the prolonged closure of the verification portal for over six months. This significant delay sparked nationwide protests, intense negotiations, lobbying, and legal proceedings as the nursing community fought to address these challenges and restore fairness to the system.
Today, we are proud to announce that through the tireless efforts of advocates and stakeholders, the NMCN verification portal is finally re-opened. This victory represents not only a step forward for Nigerian nurses and midwives, but also the power of collective action and dialogue in upholding the rights and dignity of our healthcare professionals. Let’s continue to build on this momentum and work toward a more transparent, efficient, and equitable future for all nurses.
@aghedoprincewi4 Dear Nigerian Nurses,
Congratulations on the opening of the verification portal.
By the way, one of the many criteria is that you can only apply for verification if your licence has more than 6 months before expiration.
Pis be conscious of this.

I'd not advise anyone in Nigeria to study nursing in Nigeria. Here are my reasons;
1. I did nursing (a supposed 5-year degree course) for 7 years. Due to accreditation issues and strikes.
2. After school, you will do an internship and NYSC, making it 9 years. Imagine entering school at 18 and finishing at 27 or more.
3. You repeat a class if you score 49.45 or even 49.9 (anything under 50) in a course.
4. You will pay for this and that till you beg for your life. Pay for indexing, pay for hospital finals, pay for examiners to be fed when they come for exams, pay for council registration, pay for council exam, pay for demonstration and vivals, pay for transport for rural postings, pay for nearly everything.
5. There are so many other unspoken bad practices in nursing school and nursing department management.
The height of it all is that after all this, the average nursing in a private hospital is still bargained to be paid 30k naira.
After you're done with school and wants to further your career, get good paying jobs for yourself, NMCN says you can't be verified due to their selfish reasons, and the government puts policies to keep you back. Same NMCN and government that did jot pay a dime for your training!!!
So my friends, before you study nursing in Nigeria, think 5 times, not twice.
What is the alternative?
If you gave a degree, go to the UK and to MSC preregistration nursing degree. After this, you become a nurse and can practice in the UK as a nurse. If you want to move to another country as well, the UK NMC can verify you within 5 minutes if you need verification.
