Nursing
The Division of Nursing is responsible for the planning, development, coordination, monitoring and evaluation of nursing standards, policies, and guidelines and protocols.
It is also responsible for the development of nursing workforce plans that encompass quality succession planning, training and professional development that will enhance the quality of nursing services.
The Division provides management and administrative support to the Fiji Nursing Council for the professional registration of Nurses in compliance with legislative provisions in the Nursing Decree 2011 on professional registration.
Nursing makes up 62% of the total health workforce and is virtually the face of the Ministry of Health to the general public. Nurses are the frontline health practitioners present in every health facility in the country.
There are 3 main categories of nursing staff employed in the nursing service:
• Registered Nurses are graduates of any of the 3-year courses/programs and they provide professional nursing services in any field of nursing in Fiji.
• Students are those undertaking the 3-year programme at the Fiji School of Nursing and they spend around 60% of their training (curriculum) providing nursing services under the supervision of registered nurses.
• Unqualified staffs are persons without a nursing qualification who are employed to assist qualified nurses in the performance of their duties, namely orderlies (established) and hospital ward assistants (government wage earners).
