Jafad College of Nursing Sciences, Oru Ijebu, Ogun State

Jafad College of Nursing Science (JCNS, also written Jafad College of Nursing Sciences) is a private nursing college at Oru-Ijebu in Ijebu North, Ogun State, south-west Nigeria. It sits in a quiet, semi-rural setting that the college presents as conducive to study, and it admits male and female students from different tribal, religious and social backgrounds.

The college's core programme is general nursing. Its academic pages describe an intensive three-year basic nursing programme leading to professional licensure as a registered nurse, taught by nursing faculty in a demonstration laboratory with clinical rotations. The current admission notice for the 2025/2026 session invites applications into a four-year ND and HND Nursing programme through Post-UTME screening. The curriculum follows a semester plan with courses such as Anatomy and Physiology, Fundamentals of Nursing, Nutrition, Medical-Surgical Nursing, Use of English, Applied Physics, Applied Chemistry, Sociology and Health Informations in the first year.

The teaching approach and philosophy are built on Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory of Nursing, which frames nursing as maintaining patients' self-care and preventing self-care deficit, with attention to the physical, psychosocial and spiritual person. The college lists as objectives easing the nursing shortage in Nigeria, preparing nurses for safe, holistic and competent care in health facilities across the country, and preparing graduates for leadership roles. Its core values are respect, fairness and service, and harassment of any kind is prohibited on campus.

Facilities and student life. Facilities include a demonstration laboratory, an ICT centre used for computer training, computer-based tests and an e-library, and a campus health clinic. Standard furnished hostels are provided for male and female students with water, electricity, internet, dining and cleaning services, recreation and study lounges, kitchens and laundry facilities; meal tickets can be bought for a semester or session. A counselling unit offers free, confidential counselling and runs workshops on topics such as stress management, emotional control and time management. Sports available include football, basketball, tennis, volleyball, taekwondo and kung fu, supported by the Student Affairs Office. The college also runs community health education in surrounding rural communities on healthy living and disease prevention.

Accreditation. The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) accredited the college to run the National Diploma (ND) in Nursing, following an NBTE and Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) accreditation visit on 21 to 23 September 2023.
