NMBI and the Registration of Nurses and Midwives 

All nurses and midwives who practise in Ireland must be registered on the Register of Nurses and Midwives which is maintained by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI). Currently around 78,000 nurses and midwives are registered with us. 

All of our registration services are now available on MyNMBI, our new online portal.
