Dear Nursing Professionals of Pakistan!

In the respect of all who struggle for professional development of Nursing! By recognizing the dubious Private Sector Nursing Institutes (not fulfilling the very basic requirements) the authorities, unfortunately, have been putting into risk the lives of patients in the hands of fake licensed nurses violating the basic right of providing safe nursing care. This deliberate crime against humanity is being done in connivance with PNC Mafia and those fake institutes in Sindh. This Mafia-like network has become such strong that it has started dictating its terms even to Directorate of Nursing and Health Department Sindh by pressure, corruption and unnecessary court cases.  The recent protests, press releases against president PNC, and court cases against the Health Department Sindh, PNC and Director/Controller SNEB is a proof of this menace. Fake/Ghost/Nursing institutes have spread like franchise outlets where people can buy the Diploma/Degrees while sitting even abr...

محکمہ صحت پنجاب کا جنسی امتیازی سلوک

 تحریر: طارق نور آج پوری دنیا میں خواتین کے حقوق اور خود مختیاری کے بارے میں بات چیت کی جا رہی ہے جوکہ ایک اچھا قدم ہے۔ بہت سے نسائی لوگ اس کے حق میں بات کرتے ہیں جن میں سے ایک میں بھی ہوں۔ مگر جنسی مساوات کے جن اصولوں کی بنیاد پر ہم خواتین کے کے حقوق کی بات کرتے ہیں ان ہی اصولوں کی بنیاد پر ہمیں مردوں سے ہونے والے جنسی امتیاز کی بھی بات کرنی ہوگی۔  صوبہ پنجاب کے ہسپتالوں آپ کو بہت سی فیمیل نرسز تو نظر آئیں گی لیکن آپ کو پنجاب کے کسی سرکاری ہسپتال میں میل نرسز نظر نہیں آئے گے۔ جس کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ حکومت پنجاب سرکاری  ہسپتالوں میں میل نرسز کو تعینات ہی نہیں کرتی۔ لہذا میل نرسز کی اکثریت صرف نجی ہسپتالوں میں کام کرتی ہے۔  آپ ہسپتالوں میں مرد، خواتین اور بچوں سمیت ہر قسم کے مریضوں کو دیکھیں گے. اس لئیے کچھ پروسیجر مرد مریضوں کو میل نرسز ہی کر سکتے ہیں جیسا کہ کیتھیٹرائزیشن (پیشاب کی نلکی پاس کرنا) وغیرہ۔ اس لئیے دیکھا جائے تو میل نرسز کی ضرورت بھی ہوتی ہے۔ لیکن میل نرسز کی سرکاری ہسپتالوں میں عدم موجودگی سرکاری ہسپتالوں میں بہت سے مسائل جنم دیتی ہے۔ دیکھا ...

The Outbreak of Low-quality Nursing Institutes

"The outbreak of low-quality nursing institutions all over Pakistan will show its impact as poor performance, negligence, malpractices and maladministration in future Nursing Care ultimately increasing the morbidity and mortality rates, which are already at their peaks.  Those who are claiming that they will improve the quality of healthcare services are actually propagating illusionary messages in the nursing market, nothing else. Corruption is metastasizing in every department of government.” (Shair Muhammad Hazara)

پاکستان نرسنگ کائونسل غیر قانونی نرسنگ اسکولز کی سہولتکار بن گئی

محکمہ صحت سندھ کے ایڈیشنل چیف سیکریٹری ڈاکٹر محمد عثمان چاچڑ کا لکھا ہوا وفاقی سیکریٹری صحت کے نام لکھا ہوا ایک خط منظر عام پر آگیا۔  خط میں بیان کی گئی معلومات سے لگتا ہے کہ سندھ میں موجود غیر معیاری میل نرسنگ اسکولز کو بند کرنے کے بجائے پاکستان نرسنگ کائونسل (پی این سی)  ہی ان نرسنگ اسکولز کی سہولتکار بن گئی  ہے۔ خط کے مطابق، سندھ میں 29 میل نرسنگ اسکول رجسٹرڈ ہیں۔ جبکہ دوسرے صوبوں میں میل نرسنگ اسکول نا ہونے کے برابر ہیں۔ ان 29 میل نرسنگ اسکولز میں سے 22 کے پاس کلینیکل ٹریننگ کے لئیے اپنے ہسپتال بھی نہیں ہیں۔  جبکہ، پاکستان نرسنگ کائونسل (پی این سی) کے 12 دسمبر 2009 کے نوٹیفیکیشن کے مطابق پی این سی کسی ایسے نرسنگ ٹریننگ اسکول کو رجسٹر نہیں کرے گی جسکا اپنا ہسپتال نا ہو۔ ٹریننگ ہسپتال کے بغیر 22 نرسنگ اسکولز کو رجسٹر کر کے پی این سی نے اپنے ہی قوانین کی دھجیاں اڑا دیں۔  سونے پہ سہاگہ یہ کہ پی این سی صوبہ سندھ میں ایسے ہی مزید 27 پرائیویٹ میل نرسنگ اسکول رجسٹر کرنے کو تیار ہے۔ جس سے ملک میں نرسنگ پروفیشن کا معیار مزید ابتر ہو جائے گا۔  ا...

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...

After a brief service with the Punjab Government, she left for Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and then to UK for higher professional education.  It was in 2018 that as Director Nursing Sindh I met her in an strategic meeting under Federal Minister MoNHSR&C, where she represented the Prime Minister's ...
