If you’ve ever been to a branch of the Nursing & Midwifery Council of Ghana (N&MC) and got humiliated for whatever you went there to do, you’ll feel really hesitant to visit them again, won’t you?
I have never
been in that position but I have seen two ladies on different occasions who
practically wept due to humiliation at the Tamale branch. And to be honest, I
am not the only witness to this, there are several others. We won't even talk about the corruption at the various offices. I in particular, was forced to pay GHc 50 in order to get my card renewed in two days at the N&MC Ayiduase (KEO) office because I work in a village and returning a week after for the card wasn't an option. I don't think I'll ever forget how I felt, having to sleep over in Kumasi when I wasn't even prepared for it since I was told over a phone call by the same office that the renewal was instant. Several others who didn't have the CPD certs had to pay GHc 20 each to get the renewal done.
How I wish every single processes there could be done online, actually, I was kind of wondering why the regulatory body after decades of being in existence, has not digitized some of their processes. For example PIN and AIN renewals. Well, that has been done.
As of February 2021, the process hasn't been fully digitized though. After the online payment, you'd have to visit any regional branch of the N&MC to acquire the NEW PIN/AIN Card which has a 5 year validity period instead of the 3 year term. We can however be confident that from 2022, we wouldn't be required to visit a branch to renew our PIN/AINs. How wonderful!
UPDATE 05/02/2022
Just like I said last year, I'm glad to announce that I have been able to renew my PIN for 2022 without having to visit any N&MC office (Got the SMS from N&MC yesterday, I scanned my card using the tellitnurse app and it was really active). You must however visit an office if you don't have the new card which has 5 year validity period. Let's see how you can renew your AIN/PIN from the comfort of your home.
Note: Renewal via the app can take sometime so exercise patience after you've done your part.
In this guide,
we’ll look at how to renew your PIN or AIN with the N&MC android App,
the app is also available for IOS users on the appstore. To download the N&MC app, click the
download button below. You may also check the validity of your card using the tellitnurse android application found on playstore https://goto.tellitnurse.com/app
How to Sign Up
- Tap “Continue” when you first launch the App.
- Tap on “Create an account”.
- In the next
activity (screen), you’ll have to verify your details after which, tap “Next”.
Enter the following details;
- Registration Number: Enter your registration number as stated on your N&MC certificate/AIN. e.g.: NAP2783
- PIN/AIN: You need code on the N&MC card given you. e.g.: 16KL43119008
- Your Full Name.
- Now, you’ll
want to type the following details to create your account.
- Username: I assume you have a Facebook account so you know what a username is.
- Password: A
strong password contain both letters, numbers and symbol. Concerning the
letters, you should use both lower and upper cases. Yet, it can be as simple as Jenelle@95.com or Fred@23.in but write it somewhere so you don't lose if you forget.
It is difficult to recover your password from the app once you forget. - Email: Enter your email address here e.g.: admin@tellitnurse.com
- Phone number: Provide a valid phone number.
- Next, set
your three recovery questions, you'll be given 9 questions in all to select and answer 3. You MUST type answers that are true (that you
can remember) because you’ll be asked these questions when you forget your
password and wants to recover it. Some Apps will ask too if they detect unusual
activity on your account. After this step, your account should be created.
Renewing Your PIN/AIN
If your account has been created successfully, congrats. You'll be taken to the dashboard where you can renew your PIN/AIN. As soon as your PIN/AIN expires, you'll be notified right on the dashboard, all you have to do is tap on the button that says "Your renewal is overdue" to proceed with payment.
