Admission Opportunities for Generic BSN Degree Program in Punjab (for females only)

Are you an aspiring nurse in Punjab, looking to take the first step towards a rewarding career in the healthcare sector? The Directorate General of Nursing Services, Punjab, has some exciting news for you! Applications are now open for admissions to the BSN Generic (4-year degree program) in various institutions across Punjab. With a total of 43 colleges offering this program, you have plenty of options to choose from.  

    Eligibility Criteria:

    To be eligible for the BSN Generic (4 Years Degree Program), candidates must meet the following criteria:

    1. Qualification:
      • Matric with Science (Physics, Chemistry & Biology as compulsory subjects)
      • F.Sc. (Pre-Medical) with a minimum of 50% marks from any recognized educational board
    2. Gender: Only female candidates can apply for admissions.
    3. Age: Candidates must be up to 35 years old.
    4. Domicile: Candidates must have Punjab Province domicile.

    Application Process:

    The application process is quite simple and can be completed online. Candidates must register on the web-portal (http://pnas2.phf.gop.pk) and apply between 03.04.2023 and 18.04.2023. All requisite attested documents (CNIC copy, F.Sc. Certificate, Matric Certificate, and Domicile) must be uploaded during the application process.

    Candidates are required to pay a processing fee of Rs. 500/-, which can be deposited in any branch of the Bank of Punjab. The receipt must be uploaded on the web-portal.

    Admissions will be made purely on merit cum preference basis, as per eligibility criteria and government policy, through a centralized/online system devised by Punjab Health Foundation (PHF), Lahore.

    Stipend and Support:

    Selected candidates will receive a monthly stipend of Rs. 31,470/- during the degree program, as per the government policy.

    For any further details or clarifications, candidates can contact the official helpline numbers (042-99200967 or 042-99206256) during office hours till the completion of the admission process.

    Discrimination with Males

    While the decision to offer this program exclusively to female applicants might seem like an act of discrimination against male candidates, it is important to understand the underlying intentions and context. Historically, the nursing profession has been female-dominated, and this initiative could be an effort to maintain or strengthen the presence of women in the field. 

    However, it is essential to consider that promoting equal opportunities for both genders is crucial to ensuring a balanced and diverse workforce in the healthcare sector. Institutions and organizations should aim to provide equal access to educational and professional opportunities for all, irrespective of gender. 

    To address this concern, it would be beneficial for the Directorate General of Nursing Services to consider offering similar opportunities to male candidates or opening up the program to both genders in the future. This would not only foster a sense of fairness but also enrich the nursing profession with diverse perspectives and experiences.

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.
