List of Approved Nursing Training Institutions in Nigeria

Nursing, as an essential component of the healthcare system, includes the promotion of health, sickness prevention, and care of physically ill, mentally ill, and disabled persons of all ages in all healthcare and other community settings. Nurses perform so many distinct duties that it is impossible to summarise them all in a single job title.
