Yes, you might be able to use your National Diploma (ND) in Nutrition & Dietetics for Direct Entry into Nursing at Adeleke University or other universities, but it depends on Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) requirements and university-specific policies; generally, you need O'Level credits in core sciences, plus your ND/HND and possibly other nursing certifications or exams like the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Direct Entry Registration, so check with Adeleke University's Nursing Department and JAMB brochure for precise entry requirements for Direct Entry Nursing.
Key Steps & Considerations:
Check Adeleke University's Nursing Website: Visit the official Adeleke University Nursing Department page (nursing.adelekeuniversity.edu.ng) for specific entry requirements, especially for Direct Entry.
Review JAMB Direct Entry Brochure: Consult the latest JAMB brochure for approved ND/HND to Nursing conversions and required O'Level subjects (English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics are usually essential).
Contact the Department: Email or call the Nursing Department at Adeleke University directly to confirm if your ND in Nutrition & Dietetics is accepted for Direct Entry into their BSc Nursing program.
Verify Nursing Council Rules: Ensure your ND qualification meets the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria's standards for direct entry into BSc Nursing programs.
Prepare O'Level Results: You'll need strong O'Level results (WAEC/NECO) with credits in core science subjects, even with your diploma.
