UHS Takes Significant Steps to Enhance Nursing Standards

The University of Health Sciences (UHS) has recently taken several important steps to improve the standards of nursing. One of the most significant steps is the announcement of the schedule for the entrance exam for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. After the release of the schedule, no additional seats will be accepted in nursing colleges for the current academic year.

UHS has also announced a penalty of PKR 1 million for nursing colleges found violating the admission schedule. In addition, nursing institutions offering part-time programs will be shut down and barred from admitting students. The university has made the attendance of bio-metric mandatory for BSN students.

These decisions were taken in the 31st meeting of the UHS Board of Studies in Nursing, chaired by the Vice-Chancellor of UHS, Professor Ahsan Waheed Rathore. The meeting was attended by the heads of 47 nursing colleges from across Punjab.

Professor Rathore expressed concern about some private nursing colleges admitting students without the permission of the university. To address this issue, the university has decided to implement strict policies.

To prepare the admission schedule for BSN, a committee led by the Director-General of Nursing has been formed. The committee will determine the eligibility criteria and schedule within ten days and notify the university after approval by the Punjab government.

The nursing examination structure is also being revised, according to Professor Rathore. He stressed that the examiners' discretion will not be allowed, and the clinical and oral exams will be standardized.

The committee is also working to bring BSN in line with international standards. These steps taken by UHS will go a long way in improving the nursing standards in Pakistan, and the students and patients will benefit from them.

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.
