You are encouraged to provide your feedback as part of the public consultation on the Draft Nurse Registration Programme Standards for undergraduate students from 15 April to 20 May 2025.
NMBI, as the regulator, publishes the standards and requirements to guide the design, development, delivery and evaluation of nursing and midwifery registration programmes.
In this month’s eZine, we are delighted to share Yannick Bilongo’s story. Yannick is a 2nd year Intellectual Disability Nursing student at Dublin City University (DCU).
His journey from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Ireland, improving his English language skills and becoming his class representative is truly inspiring and shows how dedicated and committed he is to the profession.
We are delighted to have him as our Student Nurse Ambassador and we would encourage our readers to share Yannick’s story with anyone who is considering a career in intellectual disability nursing or anyone considering relocating to Ireland to study nursing.
We would like to advise all student nurses and student midwives studying in the UK since 2021 that it is increasingly likely they will require a compensation measure following the completion of their studies in order to join the Register of nurses and midwives in Ireland, and they should consider this when applying to NMBI.
We have published the site inspection monitoring report for University of Limerick (UL).
The report provides an update of the site inspections conducted by NMBI in October 2023. The monitoring update report is based on information provided by UL in collaboration with their practice partners.
On 14 February, we launched the updated Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Registered Nurses and Midwives.
The Code is the primary guide to your professional practice and the updated document now incorporates the Scope of Practice and other professional guidance.
We have created a short video with provides an overview of the Code. We would encourage you to watch the video and ensure you are up-to-date and fully understand the professional conduct expected of a registered nurse or midwife.
Members of our Fitness to Practise Department recently facilitated information sessions at HIQA and Atlantic Technological University (ATU)’s Department of Nursing, Health Science and Integrated Care.
We would like to remind mature applicants applying for undergraduate nursing and midwifery programmes that the registration window to sit this year’s tests will close on 2 April.
