Nurses will retire at 65
June 10th, 2010 - 5:44 pm ICT by ANINew Delhi, June 10 (ANI): Union Cabinet on Thursday enhanced age of superannuation of teachers with M.Sc.(Nursing) in the Central Government nursing institutions.
With Cabinet’s approval the nursing teaching faculty’s age of superannuation would increase from the existing 60 to 65years.
But the Cabinet puts a condition that the nurses should be ready work as faculties after the age of 60 years.
The decision would help prevention of exodus and retention of the teachers in the Central Government nursing institutions thereby providing quality health care facilities.
There is acute shortage of nursing teachers with post-graduate degree in nursing.
A large number of posts of teachers with M.Sc. (Nursing) are lying vacant in the Central government Nursing Institutions.
As an immediate step to check further depletion in the availability of faculty, the Union Cabinet approved to enhance the age of superannuation.
The National Commission on Macroeconomics of Health has estimated a wide gap in demand and supply of nurses in near future.
The Commission have recommended opening of new nursing colleges and schools as also upgradation of existing schools and colleges.
To meet this growing demand of nurses, 11th Five Year Plan envisages opening of new nursing colleges. (ANI)
