The population of the study is Two hundred and fifty (250) Nurses. The sample and sampling technique used are two hundred and fifty purposively selected. The instruments used to collect data was Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing scales. This indicated responses from the two hundred and fifty (250) Nurses. The instruments were validated by three experts, two from measurements and evaluation and one from psychology education. ANOVA was used to analyze responses from participants. Results show that gender did not predict psychological wellbeing among Nurses. Result indicated that gender did not predict psychological wellbeing with (β= -0.2, t= -0.31).
