Welcome to the Department of Nursing

The Department of Nursing was established in direct response to the critical national demand for skilled nursing professionals. Recognizing the evolving landscape of healthcare, driven by technological advancements in patient care, the emergence of new infectious diseases like COVID-19, rapid societal changes, and the expanding roles of nurses within health institutions, our program is meticulously designed to meet these contemporary challenges. We provide advanced academic and clinical training that equips nurses with robust theoretical knowledge and enhanced professional skills. The graduates of our Bachelor of Nursing Science (BNSc.) program are poised to become highly competent nurse clinicians, capable of navigating and excelling in these complex environments. As one of the four departments under the College of Basic Medical and Health Sciences (COBMEHS) at Fountain University, the Department of Nursing aligns its philosophy with the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) standards. Our core aim is to produce highly motivated graduates of high academic standing, possessing extensive clinical exposure and broad-based professional competence. The department successfully underwent resource verification by the National Universities Commission (NUC) on December 7, 2020, and by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) on December 23, 2021. Currently in its third year of the academic program, the department actively exposes students to diverse practical experiences in the field of Nursing, while also grooming them in effective communication and comprehensive feedback delivery to the populace regarding their discoveries.
