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.”

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...
