From Our results, 10.2% were registered nurses (RN), 64.8% were midwives (RN/RM), 20.5?chelors (RN/RM/BNSC) while 3.3% had masters and doctorate respectively. 64.8% of NMs disclosed that clients got pregnant because of inadequate knowledge of differences in medications while 84.1% NMs emphasized on forgetfulness. 76.1% of NMs associated high risks of side effects to switching pills. NMs associated unwanted pregnancy and adverse drug effects to ineffective use, misuse and discontinuation respectively. Significant association (CI= 95% = 0.000-0.064; df=4) existed between NMs perception and factors influencing OC application. According to the NMs, those who do not use OC and or users who misused or discontinued the method were dissatisfied either directly or indirectly.
