Good Evening Sir, Could you please introduce yourself for us?
Good pm distinguished ladies and gentlemen, My name is Nurse Olaniyi A. Filade Project Manager of E-portal Project of NMCN.
Its a pleasure to be here for a brief presentation to enlighten members on the NMCN E-portal project. In line with the reforms undertaking by the leadership of the Council, the Council commenced the online services in 2012. Indexing applications and exams application started with a view of adding other services in phases and till date NMCN indexing is done 100% online
Examination applications are also now done online but the results are not yet released online for now. However, with the appointment of Alh. Faruk Umar Abubakar as the SG/R, the project is now being expanded to accommodate all Council's core services .
These services include;
• Indexing
• Exams applications including release of result online
• Online registration of newly qualified nurse and midwives
• Application for licensing , renewal and re-issuance verification among others
With this development and to achieve this aim, there is need to established an electronic database of all nurses and midwives registered with NMCN and this lead to the deployment of an application called online professional Update Form for all catergories of Nurses and Midwives (PUF)
Why is Council doing PUF?
This is to establish an electronic database of all records of Nurses and Midwives registered in Nigeria and to facilitate the commencement of online renewal of license
Who are the people to complete the online PUF form?
All categories of Nurses/Midwives are to complete and submit their online Professional Update Form(PUF)
How many form is an individuals expected to complete?
Only one form should be completed by an individual Nurse/Midwife. Multiple forms are not allowed but all the qualifications registered with NMCN are to be captured on a single form
What information are required to complete this application?
Required information are Personal details (such as names, date of birth, address etc), Registration numbers of all qualifications registration with NMCN, Schools attended, passport photograph, Personal Identification Number (PIN) on the license, Licence Expiry Date, employment record. Your Nursing/midwifery license and certificates contained all the required information
Do I need my nursing or midwifery registration number to complete this application?
Yes. All registered Nurses/Midwives must provide registration number(s) for all professional qualification(s) registered with Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria. Registration number(s) MUST be alphanumeric while entering the data e.g. RN1234 or RM1234 (no dot, no space, no symbols such as -)?,#~(!-_/><@ ). Only the number is expected to be inserted.
Are Nurses and Midwives who registered with Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria but are outside the Country affected too?
Yes. All Nurses and Midwives anywhere in the world who registered with NMCN are to complete PUF application online.
What happens if I choose not to complete the form?
It would be assumed that Nurses/Midwives who do not complete this form are not registered with Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria
For how long will this application be available online?
The Professional Update Form (PUF) will be available from the 17th of July – 31st of October 2017.
Some people in some quarter are saying our portal is not safe. How true is this?
The NMCN portal is secured and contained required security protections in line with best global practices. This portal has been in use by Council since 2012 till date. Also till date Nurses registered with NMCN all over the world are completing this form online and the response is impressive. Now over 13,000 persons has completed their forms
Other benefits of PUF include;
• Enables council to have a functional and reliable database
• Helps in smooth take off online applications of registration, licensing, verification, certificate which rely solely of information in the Council Registers which will now be in electronic form.
• Captures only nurses that are alive and active as against the record of living and death Nurses/Midwives Council has in her registers.
• Helps in generating a statistics and different reports such as
- the distribution of registered nurses and midwives in Nigeria at the state and local government levels
- distribution of registered nurses and midwives in Nigeria practicing outside the Country
- records of unemployed registered nurses and midwives in different states in Nigeria
• Provides verifiable data for planning and decision making.
What about the deadline set for the registration?
On the deadline set, this is deliberate effort to encourage nurses to go online and complete the form. The application is still on the October 31st, 2017 that is over 5weeks so the question of extension is not necessary for now. You should realise that if the deadline is not set for such, nurses will not go online. we all know what happened when FG through CBN launched BVN. A deadline is important on such an application that is why your coopreation on the project is important to achiveed the desired objectives. The NMCN has partnered with NANNM on this to ensured that the information get to the grassroots therefore in your institutions, encourage our colleague to do their PUF
What Browser do you advise we use while doing this registration:
I will advise we use google chrome browser to complete that PUF form.
Whats the most recognised problems most persons are having?
Most of the people having challenges are attaching passport more than 20kb which the site will reject
What about Post Basic Students and New Nurses?
All post basic students are to complete this PUF form to enable them initiate application application for the new registration when they pass their post basic exams. Those whose license are under renewal process, especially those who defaulted for some years may find it difficult to know expiration date. In such cases what should they do put the expiry date on the newly renewed license. even if the date is wrong it will be corrected during vetting
The newly qualified nurses (basic) data are already captured online during thier indexing. they will only apply for registration when it is time while the post basic students are to complete the PUF form now because they are already nurses
Thank you for your time sir
Thank you
