The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria has demanded a two-year post-qualification experience for individuals applying for certificate verification with foreign nursing boards or councils.
It is expected to start from the date of issuance of their permanent practicing licence.
This is in line with the revised guidelines for verification of certificates signed by the Registrar/Secretary General of NMCN, Dr. Faruk Abubakar.
The guideline, which was posted on the council’s X page on Wednesday, reads, “Applicants are to visit https://licence.nmcn.gov.ng/ and login to initiate a verification application by clicking on the verification application link.
“A non-refundable fee per application shall be paid for verification to foreign boards of nursing as specified on the portal. This shall cover the cost of courier services to the applicant’s institution(s) of training, place of work, and foreign board.
“Eligible applicants must have a minimum of two years post-qualification experience from the date of issuance of a permanent practicing licence. Any application with a provisional licence shall be rejected outright.
“The council shall request a letter of good standing from the Chief Executive Officer of the applicant’s place(s) of work and the last nursing training institution attended, and responses on these shall be addressed directly to the Registrar/CEO, Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria. Please note that the council shall not accept such letter(s) through the applicant.”
