Current Status (2026/2027Admission)
- The Akwa-Ibom State School of Nursing and other schools of nursing in the state like School of Nursing, St. Luke’s Hospital (Anua-Uyo) and School of Nursing, Eket had their 2025/2026 admission forms on sale.
- These forms included admission into three (3)-year General Nursing programmes and two (2)-year Post-Basic programmes for registered nurses.
This pattern suggests that similar 2026/2027 forms will be released in mid-2026 — typically between May and August 2026, after preparations and official notices from the nursing schools and the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN).
How to Know When the 2026/2027 Form Is Released
- Visit the Official School Website or Notice Boards:
Many nursing schools publish admission announcements on their official portals or campus noticeboards once the form is available. - Contact the School Directly:
Nursing schools often provide contact phone numbers or email addresses for enquiries about the application process. - Check Nursing Council Updates:
The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) sometimes lists approved schools and admission timelines on its website as well. - Follow Local Admission News Platforms:
Websites that publish academic admission news for Nigerian colleges often update their listings soon after forms are released.
