Important Safety and Registration Warning!
The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) enforces that all basic and ND nursing admissions must pass through the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). Avoid any agent or school claiming they can offer “Basic Nursing” admissions entirely offline or without a JAMB footprint. Doing so will prevent your indexing and license processing.
