The Union Health Ministry in India has debunked fake documents that have been circulating online regarding nursing candidates. There was a social media post claiming that the government had decided to consider Bsc nursing candidates as nursing officers and consider them equal to MBBS candidates. However, the ministry clarified that the document was fake.
According to the fake document, all the Bachelor Nursing candidates are given the title of ‘Nursing Officer’ from our side, in future they will be known by this name and the work of Bachelor Nursing candidates is almost equal to the work of MBBS candidates. It cannot be denied at all that in future we can think of calling them junior doctors.
The Union Health Ministry took to Twitter to issue a fake news alert and stated that the above document is being seen on various social media platforms and is fake. This comes as a warning to people to be mindful of the information they see on social media and to check sources before believing and spreading any news.
This fake information, if believed, could have potentially serious consequences for nursing candidates and the medical industry. It is important to remain vigilant and fact-check any information before believing it.
