A student nurse named Blessing has expressed deep disappointment after finally seeing her 2026 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination result. She scored a total of 212, which she described as the least she expected after months of intense preparation.

Blessing, who selected Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), Enugu as her first choice, aims to study nursing science. Her result slip showed 58 in Use of English, 51 in Physics, 56 in Biology, and 47 in Chemistry. She shared her score on Facebook on June 19, 2026, stating that she now needs connections, prayers, support, advice, encouragement, and all the positive energy she can get to secure admission into her dream course.
Emotional Reaction to the Score
In the comment section of her post, Blessing lamented her performance, saying she could not stop feeling sad despite her hard work. “I read, I studied, I worked extra hard just to make sure I scaled through and now this. Anyways, I am grateful to God but at the same time I feel pained,” she wrote. Her post garnered numerous reactions from social media users offering advice and encouragement.
Reactions from Social Media Users
Many commenters suggested alternative pathways for Blessing. Emmanuel Cheta recommended the College of Nursing Sciences, Isiala Mbano LGA, Imo State, which offers a BNSc program. Matthew Enobakhave encouraged her not to give up, noting that her score could secure admission to a College of Nursing. Ewenyi ThankGod Emeka advised her to research universities thoroughly and consider Evangel University. Lolo Igwe Favour suggested changing her second choice to first choice, as admission is unlikely with a second-choice institution. Daniel Adebayo II shared his own story of eventually gaining admission to a health-related course and advised considering ELDS or using financial resources, remarking, “If you get money too, there’s nothing that’s not possible, this is Nigeria.” Goodness Lukeson asked about supplementary forms and recommended Ebonyi State University’s supplementary form if available.

Both cases highlight the emotional and financial challenges faced by many Nigerian students seeking admission to competitive courses like nursing.
