Nursing

Nursing is a critical factor in determining the quality of care in hospitals and the nature of patient outcomes. Twenty-four-hour nursing care is one of the distinctive hallmarks of inpatient care in hospitals and Nursing personnel comprise the largest proportion of patient caregivers in a hospital.

The Nurses at St. Nicholas Hospital are compassionate and skilled caregivers dedicated to providing for the physical and emotional needs of our patients and families in an environment that supports professional excellence.

We are the first and only private hospital to date that has been accredited by the Nigerian Nursing & Midwifery Council to train BNSc graduates.

Nursing values human life and in St. Nicholas Hospital, we maintain our patient’s dignity, privacy, confidentiality and rights at all times. We practice primary care nursing which is more individualized.
