سندھ نرسز ایگزیمینیشن بورڈ کا کرپشن کے خلاف جہاد کا اعلان

سندھ نرسز ایگزیمینیشن بورڈ میں نئے تعینات ہونے والے ڈپٹی کنٹرولر عطا راجپر صاحب نے بورڈ کے نام پہ ہونے والی کرپشن کے خلاف جہاد کرنے کا اعلان کر دیا۔ ان کا مزید کہنا تھا کہ اگر کوئی بھی بورڈ کے امتحانات میں پاس کروانے کے لئے پیسے مانگے تو اُس شخص کی نشان دہی کی جائے۔ پیسے لے کر پاس کرانے والے مافیا اور دلالوں کے خلاف کاروائی کی جائے گی اور ضرورت کے مطابق پیپر دوبارا بھی چیک کئیے جائیں گے۔ فیسبوک پہ جاری ان کے بیان میں انہوں نے مزید کہا کہ بورڈ کا رزلٹ لیٹ ہونے کی زمیدار بورڈ کی نئی ٹیم نہیں۔ نئی ٹیم کو چارج سنبھالے ابھی صرف دس دن ہی ہوئے ہیں۔ واضح رہے کہ سندھ حکومت کی جانب سے حال ہی میں محتمہ خیرنساء کو کنٹرولر، محترم عطا راجپر کو ڈپٹی کنٹرولر اور محترم نومی وقاص کو اسسٹنٹ کنٹرولر کا چارج دیا گیا ہے۔ یہ عہدے کافی عرصے سے خالی تھے۔ جس کی وجہ سے بورڈ بہت سی مشکلات کا شکار تھا۔ اپنے قیام سے لے کر آج تک سندھ نرسز ایگزیمینیشن بورڈ کی کوئی ویبسائٹ تک نہیں تھی، لیکن موجودہ نئی قیادت نے آتے ہی ویبسائٹ بنوانے کا اعلان کیا اور مورخہ تئیس جون کو بورڈ کی ویبسائٹ کا افتتاح بھی کر دیا گیا ہے۔

BSN at College of Nursing NICH: A Success Story Needed to be Replicated in Public Sector Nursing Institutes

By: Shabir Hussain  The College of Nursing, National Institute of Child Health (CON-NICH), has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the first institute under Health Department Sindh to complete 04-Yr Nursing Degree Program with thumping success. Not only did it complete the course on time, but also excelled in education, training, and professionalism at par with other best nursing colleges of Sindh. It is noteworthy that in 2019, when PNMC,the Federal and Provincial Governments phased out the Three-Year General Nursing Diploma and introduced a four-year degree program, all colleges under provincial government management across the country lagged behind by one year without induction. However, Nursing College NICH stood out, achieving the first admission in year 2020. Their first batch of BSN had achieved a 100% passing rate and commenced one year internship. They are now conducting Evidence-Based seminars on final research papers of the second batch of Semester VIII. The...

Difference Between Post-RN BScN & Generic BSN (Updated 2023)

Are you confused about the terms BSN, BScN, Generic BSN, Post-RN, BS Nursing, and BSc Nursing? We receive many questions about these terms at PKN. This updated post will clarify these terms, especially in the context of recent changes in Pakistan. In short, the Generic BSN is a degree program for individuals who wish to join the nursing profession after 12 years of schooling, while the Post-RN BScN is a degree program for nurses who already have a three-year diploma in nursing.  Generic BSN The Generic BSN is an ideal option for those who want to enter the nursing profession in Pakistan. Previously, another option to join the nursing profession was the 3-year diploma in general nursing. However, according to the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan's policies, the diploma in nursing was phased out across Pakistan in 2018.  The Generic BSN is a 4-year degree program followed by a one-year internship. An internship involves practical nursing practice in a hospital u...
