Go and buy form JAMB. Straight to university.
A diploma in computer science can never be compared to a bachelor's degree in same course. Lt's set aside personal desires and let's think objectively. The best route is and will always remain bachelor's degree. Look at our sister profession- pharmacy, medicine and medical laboratory science - and ask yourself how many still run diploma programs. Ask yourself if despite their lack of diploma program, they still produce well trained staff. The deficiency in clinical skills has been solved by the introduction of internship. We are the only health related profession that run the diploma programme. Medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, medical laboratory science, physiotherapy and even radiology don't run diploma programmes.
Once again let's be objective and think of the future of the profession.
If you have to take admission in nursing university or science then you must have interest in medical and past education about nursing.
In as much as our desire is to see all nurses acquiring BNSC and over time that BNSC becomes the least qualification in Nigeria ,you are not in anyway inferior until that dream materializes , we should do away with pride and leave the academic recognition and grading to the civil service commission and labour market.
Can we stop fighting over who is the greatest????????? Especially that there is no kingdom to inherit after the fight. Don't let anyone wear you the inferiority garment ,its not how you started that matters but how you finished.
For some of us who were privileged to go through the university and sees their colleagues from schools of nursing as inferior nurses ,you have missed it. Its not how you started , before you look down on them next time ,do well to give it time.
Its possible to go through school of Nursing ,top up as a BNSC degree holder and even acquire Masters degree ,proceed to Doctorate degree and leave some of us with the Almighty BNSC behind.
Great Nurses! The Hands that care!
