What does PNC mean in NURSING

The Pakistan Nursing Council (PNC) is an organization responsible for regulating the practice of nursing within the country. It sets standards and regulations to ensure nurses are qualified and competent.

The PNC sets professional standards, license requirements, and a code of ethics for nurses in order to protect patients from unqualified or unethical practitioners. They also review applications for education programs that offer nursing degrees, monitor educational institutions for compliance with their rules, review complaints against licensed professionals, and take disciplinary action when needed.
