Notice of the Ministry of Education on Doing a Good Job in the Enrollment of Online Higher Education in Modern Distance Education Pilot Universities in 2009 (Jiaogao [2009] No.6), Central South University is included in the list of pilot universities that allow online higher education enrollment, so its certificate should of course be recognized.

But now the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health stipulate that this kind of distance network education nursing specialty can only recruit people who have obtained health practice qualifications and stop recruiting non-working personnel. That is to say, the graduation certificate of nursing major in distance network education of Central South University can not be used as the basis of nurse qualification examination, but can only be used for continuing education and promotion of higher nursing professional technical titles for on-the-job personnel who have obtained the qualification of nurses in nursing industry.
