I have completed my GNM from jharkhand nursing council about 2 year back and serving in tata main hospital as staff nurse since then. Now after going through posts i am getting confused. I don't know what registered nurse means. I have GNM diploma certificate(3,1/2 year course ), So am i a Registered nurse or not? If not then what i need to become a registered nurse? Please help... PS- I am asking this question for what is registered nurse in India. In US there is another exam to be cleeared to become registered nurse. But what about india? A GNM is/equivalent to registered nurse in india?

I am from india and want to know about the Registered Nurse... Can anyone please throw some light on what is meant by Registered nurse? Some people said that it need be cleared another exam to become registered nurse. Some said after completing GNM (General Nursing and Midwifery), a GNM diploma Holder become Registered nurse. I am confused and dont know where i should ask it so i am asking here. In Simple a Registered Nurse is a GNM diploma/Bsc in Nursing degree holder? or A GNM/Bsc Nursing degree holder need nurse have to pass another exam of regsitered nurse, to become registered nurse? Please help me out... Regards...
