Who needs an NUID?
Nurses and midwives registered with a state nursing council in India.
Every registered nurse
The Indian Nursing Council asks every registered nurse to be on the NRTS, and advises nurses and state councils to adopt it.
Your council works through the NRTS
Some state councils now take new registrations through the NRTS. Chhattisgarh, for example, says so on its own site.
