کیا یہ کھلا تضاد نہیں ؟

صحت کی ایمرجنسی سندھ میں نافذ ہے اور اقدامات خیبرپختنخواہ  اور پنجاب میں ہو رہے ہیں. کیا یہ کھلا تضاد نہیں؟ سندھ کے ڈاکٹرز اور نرسز تو کمیشن کا امتحان پاس کرنے کے باوجود آفر لیٹر نا حاصل کر سکے. یہ کیسی ایمرجنسی ہے؟ کیا یہ صحت کے شعبے کو ختم کرنے کی ایمرجنسی ہے؟

رسک الاؤنس

رسک الائونس ہم ینگ نرسز ایسوسیشن پنجاب کو ان کی جدوجہد کی کامیابی پر مبارک بعد پیش کرتے ہیں اور میاں محمد شہباز شريف اور  سیکرٹری سپیشلائزڈ ہیلتھ کیئر اینڈ میڈیکل ایجوکیشن نجم احمد شاہ کے شکرگزار ہیں کہ انہوں نے نرسز کے اس مسئلے پہ توجہ دی۔ امید ہے کہ پنجاب کی نرسز پہلے سے بہتر انداز میں پیشہ ورانہ خدمات سرانجام دیں گی۔ اس کے علاوہ پنجاب حکومت سے گزارش ہے کہ پنجاب نرسز کے دوسرے دیرینہ مسائل جیسا کہ سروس سٹرکچر پہ بھی توجہ دے۔ تا کہ نرسز سڑکوں پر اپنے حقوق کے لئیے جدوجہد کرنے کے بجائے اسپتالوں میں مریضوں کی دیکھ بھال میں مصروف عمل رہیں۔ واضح رہے کہ پاکستان میں ایک عام آدمی کا تصور ہے کہ نرسنگ کے پیشے کا تعلق صرف انجیکشن یا ڈرپ لگانے سے ہے۔   جبکہ حقیقت میں موئثر علاج کے لئیے ایک مریض کے اسپتال میں قیام کے دوران تمام مراحل میں نرسز کا بنیادی کردار ہوتا ہے۔ بدقسمتی سے پاکستان میں نرسنگ کا شعبہ شروع میں مسائل کا شکار رہا لیکن اب یہ شعبہ ترقی کر رہا ہے۔ پنجاب کی نرسز کا دیرینہ مطالبہ تھا کہ انہیں رسک الاؤنس دیا جائے کیوں کہ ان کو اسپتالوں میں بہت سی خطرناک وبائی امراض کا سامنا کرنا

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 under

SOPs for Managing Nurses’ Monthly Duty Roster Manually

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Managing Nurses’ Duty Roster Version 3 (January 2019) Developed By: Khalil Ahmed Head Nurse, CCU, IH, PIMS, Islamabad Description: The purpose of developing these SOPs was to create uniformity and clarity in the policies regarding nurses’ duty roster.

The first version of the SOPs was introduced in Emergency and Accident Center, PIMS in 2014.  Further improvements have been brought in the subsequent versions.

What is PNC Licensure Exam and Why is it Necessary?

by Khalil Ahmed Jatt, Head Nurse, PIMS, Islamabad  PNC Licensure Examination is a written test of the Generic BSc Nursing graduates that is conducted by the Pakistan Nursing Council to determine the preparedness of the graduates for nursing practice. Recently, the examination has been abolished by PNC due to some understandable reasons. Some people are of the view that PNC licensure examination for GBSN is unjust and unnecessary. Their perspective is based on the following arguments: When there are university exams then we do not need to appear for an extra exam. There is no licensure examination for the diploma holders therefore, there is no need for licensure exam for BSN graduates. Other healthcare professionals in Pakistan do not go through such examination, therefore this exam is unnecessary for BSN graduates It is not conducted internationally. PNC can not conduct a transparent examination. Many toppers failed in the licensure examination. Licensure examina

Nursing Diploma to BSN | Facts and Rumours

by Khalil Ahmed Jatt and Dr Raisa Gul Most of the nursing education institutions, in Pakistan, have been offering 3-year General Nursing Diploma since their establishment. The 4-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) degree programme was introduced in the country in 1997 and the first cohort of BScN nurses graduated in 2001. Since then, many nursing institutions (schools or colleges) gradually switched to the degree programme, but the diploma programme was not abolished in the country. The issue of abolishing the diploma became a topic of hot discussion when the Pakistan Nursing Council (PNC) stopped the nursing institutions to enroll students in the diploma programme in January 2019.  Although most of the stakeholders are welcoming this announcement, some are raising their concerns against this move. Some rumours and misconceptions are also circulating in this regard. By distinguishing the facts from the rumours, the stakeholders can contribute towar
