INDIA INC introduces foreign language as an optional subject in BSc Nursing/GNM program
In a bid to adapt to the evolving global landscape and promote internationalization in education, the Indian Nursing Council (INC) issued a significant notification, announcing the addition of foreign languages as an optional subject/course in BSc Nursing and GNM programs. Students will have the opportunity to choose from a range of foreign languages, including but not limited to French, German, Greek, Latin, Irish, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese, among others. This diverse array of language options ensures that students can select a language that aligns with their interests and career aspirations. Indian Nursing Council’s decision to introduce foreign languages as optional subjects in BSc Nursing and GNM programs reflects a progressive approach towards preparing nursing students for the challenges of a globalized world. By embracing linguistic diversity and promoting internationalization, the INC is empowering the future nursing workforce to make a more significant impact on the healthcare sector worldwide.

CANADA Ontario hospital nurses awarded average raises of 11% over
Ontario hospital nurses will be getting raises of what their union says amounts to an average of 11 percent over two years, with the arbitrator citing a staffing crisis and high inflation. It's the first contract since the nurses and other broader public sector workers were subject for three years to a wage restraint law known as Bill 124, which capped increases at one percent a year. Nurses and government critics have blamed Bill 124 for making it more difficult to recruit and retain nurses, particularly while they were on the front lines of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. “This decision is a first step to righting past wrongs, and bringing hospital nurses' compensation up to where it should be,” ONA President Erin Ariss wrote in a statement.

Over the last year, the Nursing Council has been working on a new competence assessment for internationally qualified nurses, and these changes will take effect in December 2023. Internationally qualified nurses (IQNs) applying to the Council in December 2023 will, at the direction of the Council, undertake the following objective examinations of competence. An online theoretical exam that tests nursing knowledge, taken at an accredited exam center overseas or in New Zealand. A two-day orientation and preparation course followed by a clinical examination known as an OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination). The 3-hour OSCE tests clinical and professional skills. The orientation, preparation, and OSCE will take place in person in New Zealand at an accredited center. Source: Nursing Council of New Zealand
