Nurse practitioners legitimised!

The formal nurse practitioner debate began in NSW at the 1990 NSW Nurses' Association Annual Conference, when a question was put to the then NSW Minister for Health, Peter Collins, on the Government's position on independent nursing practice. A subsequent letter from Mr Collins invited submissions on the issue and a joint submission was prepared by the Association and the NSW College of Nursing. A NSW Department of Health Taskforce, under the direction of the Nursing Branch and the Chief Nursing Officer, Judith Meppem, was established.

Nurse practitioner report. The recommendations.

The Final Report of the Steering Committee for Stage 3 of the Nurse Practitioner Project was released by the NSW Minister for Health on April 24, 1996. The release of the Final Report and its 48 recommendations represents the completion of a process which has been both a difficult and an exhausting one for the State Steering Committee. The major recommendation of the Report is the recognition of nurse practitioners as 'legitimate providers of health services in NSW'.

The Association says no to Mandatory Continuing Education.

Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) for nurses is a compulsory requirement for nurses to participate in continuing education in order to continue practising as a nurse. Should MCE be introduced, the most likely method of enforcing that requirement would be for it to be linked to a nurses' authority to practice, that is, it would be necessary to demonstrate the required MCE before annual registration would be renewed and a current practising certificate issued.
