ONP with additional Supervised Practice Programme

Published

Hi, I got the NMC decision letter to take the ONP with additional 3 to 6 months supervised practice programme. I'm on the research stage now of determining which University to enrol and whether I should avail the services of agencies to make this process easier for me. Any advice or input will be greatly appreciated. Actually, I'm thinking of Sunderland and Northampton. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I would like to know if You know any site which can provide me with the ONLINE NURSING BOOKS???

I am desperately in the need of them,cause by JAN I would be in UK for my ONP

and they have asked us to bring the BOOKS along with us

and I can not carry so many books because they are so Heavy..

can u please HELP ME...

Hey Sam, if you join the Royal College of Nursing they have an online e-library and access to literature databases that you will find helpful.

Your university will also give you access to their online library, which when you get the hang of will be very useful

http://www.rcn.org.uk

You can join online and if your working in the UK the college will provide you with indemnity insurance and union representation as well which is essential for any nurse.

When you are here it would be wise to invest in a good nursing drugs book as some of the medication we use here will be different. There are lots of good nursing textbooks then, your university can let you know what they will expect you to have so it may be that ou can buy them when you get there

Hope this is helpful

What I'm trying to imply is that DRAKE will provide you with the employer who will give the supervised placement as you undertake the ONP and thus, the employer will sponsor you with the work visa which will be filed to the UK embassy.

Could you answer me a question please ronvil, how can Drake international offer a work visa with no placement, firstly because it is the Immigration agencies that offer work Visas not agencies.

If they are offering this I would be asking so very probing questions about their practice.

My understanding has been that in order to qualify for a work visa you have to have an offer of employment within one of the shortage occupation areas. Are you telling me that Drake international are not complying with this?

Hi sherrie

I am not sure what was your conversation with the Ronvil was

But I am from INDIA and I have been given the JOB offer by Drake Internatinal too.

They have given me JOB placement,VIsa Help and the Hospital has given us the Sponsership letter too.

The hospital i would be working is in Basildon and its NHS Foundation Turst.

I would be flying in JAN,

Also the Hospital going to provide the ONP finance (may be they are giving some less salary to US than the 5 band during our ONP)

We would get 3 band salary thats 17000 pounds in first three months during ONP.

and later when we finish our ONP they would give us 5 band salary that is 20000 pounds a year.

You think this is right????

or you smell some foul in this????

I woluld appritiate your help

thank you.

If you have a job offer letter with sponsership from an NHS trust and with those terms and conditions it sounds fine to me.

@ronvil & bigbrother88

hello there! just want to ask if both agencies you've mentioned before require that their applicants be currently working in a hospital setting? do they also deploy nurses to nursing homes not just hospitals in UK?

thanks!
