LAGOS — Several reputable nursing schools in Lagos are offering Post-Basic Nursing and Direct Entry programmes that do not require candidates to present Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) results. These institutions include the School of Nursing at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Nigerian Army College of Nursing, Lagos State College of Nursing, Igando, and National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi (NOHIL).
