The Jordanian Nursing Council has officially announced the update of the national competencies and standards for the Registered Nurse in Jordan, reflecting advancements in nursing practice and aligning closely with the International Council of Nurses (ICN) definition and global standards for nursing. The newly revised framework—published in January 2026—provides a unified national reference outlining the knowledge, skills, and professional behaviors expected from registered nurses across educational and clinical settings. This update builds on the Council’s ongoing efforts since 2005 to regulate and elevate nursing practice in the Kingdom, ensuring that nursing care remains safe, ethical, competent, and consistent with international best practices.
