Registered Nurse Programmes Standards

NMBI publishes standards for education bodies (EBs) and their practice partners involved in the education and registration of nurses. This document includes Standards for Entry to the Register and pre-registration Standards for Nurse Education in Ireland.

The standards are considered by NMBI to be essential for the development, delivery, monitoring and evaluation of pre-registration education programmes for the nursing profession. These standards have been devised following significant consultation with relevant stakeholders.

The Sixth Edition of the Nursing Registration Programmes Standards (2025) is the current edition.
