The programme lasts 3 years – a total of 6 semesters.

Upon completion of the first-cycle degree programme, graduates are awarded a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. To practise the profession in Poland, one must obtain a licence to practise, which is granted by the relevant regional council of nurses and midwives once the statutory requirements have been met. The degree certificate alone does not constitute this licence.

In accordance with the provisions of the Act of 15 July 2011 on the professions of nurse and midwife, the practice of the nursing profession consists of providing healthcare services, in particular:

1. assessing a patient’s health conditions and needs;
2. identifying a patient’s nursing care needs;
3. planning and providing nursing care for a patient;
4. independently providing, within a specified scope, preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative services, as well as emergency medical procedures;
5. carrying out doctors’ orders in the process of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation;
6. determining the type and scope of care and nursing services;
7. health education and health promotion.

Similar rules apply in the other countries of the European Economic Area and in Switzerland.
