Mrs Esseine, who made the remark during an exclusive chat with Pharmanewonline.com, however noted that such online institutions must be recognised by the Nigeria University Commission (NUC) before awarding certificates to nurses.

According to her: “The ongoing campaign for nurses to upgrade from diploma holders to degree holders is a welcome development and supported by NANNM. Online nursing programme is acceptable if it  backed-up by necessary recognition by the Nigeria University Commission (NUC).
