NEW Nursing Council Standards of Competence for Registered Nurses
- 12 March 2025
The Nursing Council of New Zealand have released new standards of competence for Registered Nurses (released February 2025).
These take effect from the 1st of April 2025 for all new annual practicing certificates and recertification audit requirements, and from the 1st of January 2026 for all other purposes, including PRDP programmes.
The new standards can be found here, and FAQs on the standards can be found here.
At NZSN, we will take some time over the next few months to work through these new standards, and consider how they can be met within the context of School Nursing for individual and peer assessments for our members.
Stay tuned :)
