NMBI has launched the pilot of the Professional Competence Scheme which requires nurses and midwives to demonstrate maintenance of professional competence.
Members of our Education, Policy and Standards Department are currently providing regional information sessions about the Professional Competence Scheme (PCS) to the volunteer pilot sites. These sessions have been facilitated by Regional Centres of Nursing and Midwifery and Centres of Education within the pilot site organisations.
Last November, we were delighted to hold our inaugural Student Nurse Ambassador Forum. Our Student Nurse Ambassadors will partner with us to promote the profession of nursing, as well as participate in NMBI events throughout the year.
In this month’s eZine, we speak with Adrian O’Dwyer, a third-year mental health nursing student at University College Cork. He is a fantastic Ambassador and we believe his story is inspiring and truly demonstrates his commitment to the profession. We would encourage our readers to share Adrian’s journey with anyone who is considering a nursing career that makes a difference, especially anyone applying as a mature applicant.
