Indian Nursing Council (Continuing Nursing Education) Regulations, 2019 1. Preamble Nurses form two thirds of the health workforce in India and they play a significant role in the healthcare system. Nursing is a scientific discipline and is influenced by the scientific and technological advances in healthcare. The changing disease patterns and demographics, increasing national healthcare priorities, its demands and expenditure, growing information explosion, and rampant growth of nursing educational institutions are major changes that create healthcare challenges today. In this healthcare scenario, to enhance the delivery of high quality, cost effective and safe care, professional nurses are mandated to update their knowledge and competence through (CNE). This is possible only by having a standard uniform system of CNE implementation guidelines across the country. Recognizing this need, Council in the code of ethics for nurses in India, has emphasized the significance of CNE in promoting professional and personal development of nurses. Reiterating its importance, Council has formulated[भाग III—खण् ड 4] भारत का रािपत्र : असाधारण 7 guidelines for implementation of CNE across the country during the year 2005. This did not come into effect at that time but some SNRCs implemented CNE guidelines. With the forthcoming introduction of NUID for every nurse in India by Council, the guidelines should be uniformly implemented in all states. These guidelines will provide direction and encouragement to professional nurses to value, respect, create and utilize CNE opportunities, thus enhance their personal and professional development alongside professional competencies. 2.
