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 abroad

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 جائے تو سندھ اور کے

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)

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۔  اس کے علاوہ خط میں یہ بھی انکشاف ہوا کہ سندھ

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

The Pakistan Nursing Council (PNC), ( now called the Pakistan Nursing and Midwifery Council or PNMC ) is the regulatory body for nursing education and practice in Pakistan.

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. This document has brought the already practised rule into written form. 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. Constructive feedback would be appreciated. A sample duty roster which incorporates some of these rules is attached. SOPs Rationales 1.        Days off available in a month: 1.1.     Weekly off: A nurse will be eligible to avail weekly days off equal to the number of Sundays in a month. Because every Sunday is an official day off, therefore, all nurses are eligible to avail days off equal to the number of Su

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
