Violation of Merit and Quotas</b></h4><div> The selection criteria were largely criticized for violating merit along with regional/provincial quotas and male/female distribution of seats.</div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>2. Discrepancies in Domicile and Aggregate Marks</b></h4><div>The report noted the absence of proof of domicile for candidates and missing aggregate marks in several cases.</div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>3.

<p class="MsoNormal">The anatomical position is a standard position of the body. It is
used as a reference to describe body parts and positions. In this position, a
person stands upright with feet flat on the ground and close together, arms at
the sides, and palms facing forward. The head is also facing forward. <o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Why Do We Use the Anatomical Position? </b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is used to avoid confusion. Without a standard reference,
describing body parts could be difficult because our bodies can move in many
ways. For example, if you say "the front of the arm," it could mean
different things depending on how the arm is positioned. But in the anatomical
position, it always means the same area. <o:p></o:p></p>

On one hand, public health education can complement nursing education by broadening the perspective on healthcare delivery and policy. It could provide a multidisciplinary approach to nursing education, potentially enriching the curriculum with public health principles that are increasingly relevant in today's global health landscape. <br /><br />On the other hand, the core competencies required for nursing educators typically include a strong foundation in nursing theory, clinical expertise, and the application of nursing processes. Prioritizing nursing-specific qualifications ensures that the faculty possesses a deep understanding of the unique aspects of the nursing profession, which is critical for effective teaching and mentoring of future nurses. <br /><br />To articulate the reservations of the nursing community regarding this decision, the following points summarize the key arguments for maintaining the professional purity of nursing education by excluding MPH/MSPH from the professorship eligibility criteria:<br /><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Preservation of Professional Standards </h3>The inclusion of MPH/MSPH degrees in the eligibility criteria for nursing professorship roles dilutes the specialized knowledge base that is crucial for nursing education. Nursing professors should possess a deep understanding of nursing theories and practices to effectively guide future practitioners.<br /></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Concerns Over Educational Rigor</h3>Many MPH/MSPH programs may not provide the rigorous, nursing-focused curriculum that is essential for developing the competencies required in nursing leadership and academia. <br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Impact on Career Pathways</h3>There is a concern that if MPH/MSPH degrees are considered equivalent to MSN, nursing professionals might opt for the former due to its perceived lower rigor and broader availability, which could lead to a decline in the number of MSN-qualified educators, further impacting nursing education quality. <br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Quality Assurance in Nursing Education</h3>The varying quality of MPH/MSPH programs, especially in institutions where the level of academic rigor does not meet the high standards expected for nursing education, could result in professors who are less prepared to tackle the specific challenges of nursing education and mentorship. <br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Professional Identity</h3>Nursing is a distinct profession with its own set of skills, ethical considerations, and practice standards. Allowing those without a nursing background to educate future nurses may erode the professional identity.<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Long-term Implications</h3></div><div>The decision to include non-nursing qualifications has long-term implications for the nursing profession in Pakistan. It sets a precedent that may influence the future direction of nursing education and the profession's standards.<br /><br />The concerns of the nursing community likely stem from the desire to maintain the integrity and quality of nursing education, ensuring that educators have a specialized background in nursing. It raises questions about the equivalency of qualifications and whether non-nursing degrees can adequately prepare individuals for the complexities of nursing education and leadership roles within the profession.</div><div> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> </div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069858775170493212.post-47982150263269633412023-12-13T22:38:00.002+05:002023-12-13T22:38:26.459+05:00Farzana Zulifqar Ali Appointed as President of Pakistan Nursing and Midwifery Council<div><br></div><div>The Pakistan Nursing and Midwifery Council (PN&MC) has witnessed the dawn of a promising era with the appointment of Ms. Farzana Zulifqar Ali as its President.

However, it is crucial to delve deeper into the details before deciding to embark on the application process. In this blog post, we aim to shed light on both the positive and potentially less appealing aspects of this announcement. </div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Good News First</h3><div>A total of 111 positions for Head Nurses (BS-17) and a massive 800 positions for Charge Nurses (BS-16) have been declared vacant. The institutes calling for these applications include some of the country's most prestigious healthcare establishments, and here are the numbers per institution:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><!--copy the code ========================below this line for English table--><div><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoNormalTable" style="background: rgb(255, 219, 41); border-collapse: collapse;"><tbody><tr style="height: 209.2pt; mso-yfti-firstrow: yes; mso-yfti-irow: 0; mso-yfti-lastrow: yes;"><td style="border: 1pt solid rgb(253, 218, 11); height: 209.2pt; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 484.05pt;" valign="top" width="645"><br /><ol><li>Institute of Ophthalmology & Allied Vision Sciences, Nishtar Multan: 1 Head Nurse and 6 Charge Nurses.</li><li>Sahiwal Teaching Hospital, Sahiwal: 20 Head Nurses and 159 Charge Nurses.</li><li>Institute of Urology & Transplantation, Rawalpindi: 22 Head Nurses and 15 Charge Nurses.</li><li>Sardar Fateh Muhammad Khan Buzdar Institute of Cardiology, D.G Khan: 14 Head Nurses and 50 Charge Nurses.</li><li>Ch.

This might not provide the job security most individuals seek, particularly when we consider that other countries offer more long-term opportunities with better pay, improved work conditions, and additional benefits. </div><div><br /></div><div>Moreover, the pay scale for these jobs, in some cases, doesn't seem to reflect the qualifications. For instance, even with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, the offered position is at BPS 16 level, not the expected BPS 17. This discrepancy could potentially be discouraging as it might not align with the level of education and expertise a nurse possesses.</div><div><br /></div><div>Despite these challenges, these opportunities can serve as a valuable experience, particularly for those early in their nursing careers. They also highlight the demand for nurses in Pakistan, underlining the significance of our nursing community's work. </div><div><br /></div><div>So, if you're contemplating applying for these jobs, we advise you to consider all the points we've mentioned thoroughly. We hope this overview will guide you in your decision-making process, and we continue to advocate for better conditions and recognition for our dedicated nurses. </div><div><br /></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">How to Apply for the Nursing Vacancies</h3><div><br /></div><div>Applying for these nursing positions is a straightforward process.
