7 Education: Historical context In 1999, the training of nurses and midwives was conducted in 129, and midwives in 53 post-secondary schools across the country. Reducing the number of medical schools, and thus the number of students and graduates was the result of the changing education in medical professions. Since 1993, in conjunction with the Polish accession to the EU, the transformation of education in the professions of nurse and midwife began in order to adjust Polish regulations to the directives of the Council of the European Communities. The Polish government decided to transform education of the professions of nurse and midwive in the system of higher education.

Objectives: Adoption of a system of easily readable and comparable degrees, also through the implementation of the Diploma Supplement, in order to promote employment opportunities for the citizens of Europe. Adoption of a system based on two cycles: lower - three years - the title of bachelor and higher - two years - the title of Master. Establishing a system of credits ECTS - as a means of promoting the mobility of students.

9 Directive 2005/36/EU The training must include at least 3 years or 4,600 hours of theoretical and clinical, with the theoretical training representing at least one-third, and clinical training at least one half of the minimum period of training. Member States shall ensure that institutions providing nursing training are responsible for the coordination of theoretical and clinical training throughout the curriculum. The training is conducted by the faculty of nursing or other competent persons.
