School of Nursing Ado Ekiti Past Questions and Answers

It is often said that “The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs, one step at a time.” For thousands of young Nigerians, the College of Nursing Sciences, Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH) represents the pinnacle of that staircase.

Nursing is not just a job; it is a calling. However, answering that call in Nigeria requires more than just passion—it requires passing one of the most rigorous entrance examinations in the Southwest region. Every year, the admission officers at EKSUTH are flooded with applications. The selection process is designed to filter out the unprepared, leaving only the sharpest, most resilient minds to enter the program.

My name is Dr. Manny, the lead consultant at Manny Spark. Over the last decade, my team and I have analyzed the trends, the questions, and the psychology behind the nursing entrance exams in Nigeria. We don’t just provide questions; we provide a roadmap. This article is designed to be the most detailed resource you will find on the internet regarding the School of Nursing Ado Ekiti Past Questions and Answers.

Comprehensive Profile: College of Nursing Sciences, EKSUTH

To succeed, you must know your target. The College of Nursing Sciences, EKSUTH, formerly known as the School of Nursing, is a tertiary health training institution. It has recently been upgraded to offer the ND/HND Nursing program, aligning with the new Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) standards.

The Location and Environment

The school is physically located within the massive complex of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital.

• Address: Adebayo Road, Opposite Ori Apata, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.

• Landmarks: If you are coming from the popular “Fajuyi Park” in Ado, it is a straight drive down Adebayo Road. The area is bustling with student activity, pharmacies, and food vendors, making it a lively place for students.

• The “Teaching Hospital” Advantage: Unlike basic Schools of Nursing that might be attached to General Hospitals, EKSUTH is a Teaching Hospital. This is a massive advantage. You will be exposed to consultants, professors of medicine, and complex surgeries that students in smaller schools never see.

Facilities and Student Life

The environment at EKSUTH is built for serious academic work.

• Demonstration Rooms: Equipped with modern mannequins for clinical simulation.

• Library: A well-stocked library with both physical medical texts and e-learning resources.

• Hostel: The school provides accommodation. Staying in the hostel is often mandatory for freshers to instill discipline. The rules are strict—curfews, dress codes, and inspection. This is to groom you into the professional “Nightingale” mold.

Note: This is not a regular university. The schedule is 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM for lectures, followed by clinical postings that can run into the night or weekends.

Understanding the Competitive Landscape of Nursing in Nigeria

Why is the entrance exam so hard? In recent years, the demand for nursing in Nigeria has skyrocketed due to the “Japa” wave and the high employability of nurses globally. EKSUTH, being a state-owned but federally standard institution, receives applicants from Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Lagos, and beyond.

• Average Applicants: 3,000+

• Average Slots Available: 50 – 100

• The Filter: The Computer Based Test (CBT) is the primary filter. If you score below the cutoff (usually 50% or 60% depending on the year’s performance), you are dropped immediately before the interview stage.

This is why you cannot rely on “luck”. You need the Manny Spark advantage.

Admission Requirements: Are You Eligible?

Before you purchase the form or the past questions, verify your eligibility. The College is strict with documentation.

1. O’Level Results: You need five (5) Credits in WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB.

   • Subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

   • Sitting: You can combine results (e.g., WAEC and NECO), but not more than two sittings. Note: NABTEB can usually only be combined with NABTEB.

2. JAMB (UTME): With the upgrade to the ND/HND program, JAMB is now mandatory. You must have chosen the College of Nursing Sciences, EKSUTH, in your JAMB registration and scored above the national cut-off mark (usually 200, though sometimes 180 depending on policy).

3. Age: You must be at least 16 years old by the next academic session.

4. Health: You must be physically and mentally fit (verified via a medical exam after admission).

The Syllabus: What Exactly Should You Read?

The EKSUTH exam standard is slightly higher than WAEC but specific in its focus. Here is the Manny Spark Breakdown of the syllabus:

• Biology (40% of the exam): Focus on Human Anatomy (Skeleton, Reproduction, Digestion, Nerves), Ecology, Genetics, and Cell Biology. They love asking about hormones and enzymes.

• Chemistry (20% of the exam): Focus on Organic Chemistry (Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkanols), Stoichiometry (Calculations), Acids, Bases, and Salts, and Periodic Table trends.

• Physics (20% of the exam): Focus on Light/Optics, Electricity (Ohm’s law), Heat energy, and Motion.

• English Language (10% of the exam): Concord, Synonyms/Antonyms, and Spelling.

The Manny Spark Strategy: How to Crush the CBT

Buying the School of Nursing Ado Ekiti Past Questions (N5,000) is the first step. Here is how to use it to win.

1. The “15-Second Rule” In the actual exam, you do not have the luxury of time. You have roughly 40-50 seconds per question. Train yourself to read a question and decide within 15 seconds if you know it or need to skip it. Do not dwell on hard calculations; do the easy biology/English questions first to bank points.

2. Computer Navigation The EKSUTH exam is CBT.

• Green Button: Usually “Next” or “Submit”.

• Red Button: Usually “Previous”.

• Checkboxes: Click clearly.

• Timer: Always keep one eye on the countdown timer in the corner of the screen.

3. Elimination Method If you don’t know the answer, don’t guess blindly. Look at the options. Usually, two are obviously wrong. Eliminate them, and guess between the remaining two. This increases your probability of being right from 25% to 50%.

Bonus: Preparing for the Oral Interview

Many students pass the CBT but fail the interview. At Manny Spark, we guide you through this too.

Once you pass the cut-off mark, you will be invited to the school for an oral interview.

• Dress Code: Look professional. Men should wear a suit or shirt and tie. Ladies should wear a knee-length skirt suit or gown. Hair must be neat (no wild colors).

• Confidence: You will face a panel of Matrons and Lecturers. They will ask:

  • “Why do you want to be a nurse?” (Don’t just say “to help people.” Be specific. Talk about your passion for science and care).

  • “Who is the Commissioner for Health in Ekiti?”

  • “What would you do if a patient refuses treatment?”
