Regina Caeli College of Nursing Science, Akwa

Regina Caeli College of Nursing Sciences, Awka, is a Catholic nursing college owned by the Catholic Diocese of Awka in Anambra State, Nigeria. It was conceived by the Bishop of Awka, Most Rev. Paulinus Chukwuemeka Ezeokafor, who is the proprietor and visitor, and it is linked to the diocese's Regina Caeli Specialist Hospital and Maternity. Its motto is "Innovative Excellence in Nursing Education".

The college is administered by Rev. Fr. Chukwuelobe JohnPaul, with the Chancellor of the Catholic Diocese of Awka, Very Rev. Fr. Charles Ndubisi, among its leadership. Its office address is St Patrick's Cathedral, Awka.

It offers a four-year Nursing programme, delivered in line with the standards of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN). Its philosophy is derived from that of the NMCN: it holds that people are biological, spiritual, social and psychological beings, that health is a changing bio-psycho-social and spiritual state maintained through the nursing process, that health care should emphasise primary health care that is available, accessible and affordable, and that the client is an active partner in care.

The vision is to produce competent nurses and midwives who are technologically driven, with good leadership qualities, a high sense of responsibility, initiative, continued interest in self-education and a quest for knowledge and research. The mission is to create opportunities for each student to achieve his or her full potential through innovative nursing education.

Admitted candidates are invited to a screening interview at the college conference room, bringing their JAMB result slip, original credentials (first school leaving certificate, WAEC, NECO, GCE or equivalent) and an original birth certificate or baptism card.
