Abstract

As part of ongoing efforts to enhance the higher education
system for health professions, the Faculty of Health Sciences
of the University of Split successfully finalised the registration
of occupational standards in nursing for CROQF levels 6
and 7 in the official Registry. This achievement is a direct result of the EU-funded project “Development of Occupational
Standards/Qualifications with the Improvement of Health Study Programmes” (MIS code: HR.3.1.15-0051). It represents the culmination of extensive professional work in the nursing profession and establishes a foundation for national harmonisation, international recognition, and further modernisation of nursing study programmes in the Republic of Croatia.
