Article 46 of the Law on Medical Practitioners in People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that a person who has obtained a nurse qualification certificate shall register with the health administrative department at or above the provincial level within two years from the date of obtaining the certificate. Failing to register on schedule and still overdue within 6 months from the date of expiration of registration, its practice certificate shall be invalid. Holders who have obtained the Nursing Practice Qualification Certificate need to renew their registration once every five years. The materials to be submitted for the registration of nurse's practice certificate include: identity certificate, education/degree certificate, training experience certificate, professional and technical post or title certificate, etc. In addition, according to local specific regulations, it may be necessary to provide relevant health certificates and work introduction letters.
How to inquire whether the nurse's practice certificate has been registered or needs to be updated? Online inquiry can be made through the websites of local health administrative departments or other designated service websites (such as the national information management system for nurses and midwives). When inquiring, you need to enter the number and name of the nurse's practice certificate to confirm the registration and update. In addition, you can also obtain relevant information from the personnel or health administrative departments of subordinate units.
Nurses, as important employees in the field of medical and health care services, need to strictly abide by professional norms, actively complete relevant registration and replacement work according to legal requirements, improve their professional quality and service level, and better provide quality medical services for patients.
