1. OSCE REVISION for NMC REGISTRATION

   nurse_cardio replied to wency2015's topic in Registration

   Took the OSCE two weeks ago and passed it on my first take at University of Northampton! All I can say is, practice, practice and practice!!! And the support of your trust/hospital will definitely go a long way. With that being said, despite being so...

2. NMC Test Online

   nurse_cardio replied to alfredpower's topic in Registration

   Hey, been a long time. Hello everyone!! This thread was very informative, really helped me a lot in my NMC application last year (around July 2016). Been living here in the UK since November and just recently passed the OSCE on my 1st take. God is g...

3. NMC Test Online

   nurse_cardio replied to alfredpower's topic in Registration

   One month would suffice. I've heard that the exam now is getting harder as compared to, say, last year or earlier this year (probably because of the high passing rate). So its always good to take the exam fully prepared! Best of Luck!

4. Road to NMC Registration

   nurse_cardio replied to promking12's topic in Registration

   Late reply but.. Gaps shouldn't be a cause of concern as long as you have at least 1 year of Nursing Experience within the last 3 years, as written in their webpage. Your ICU Nursing experience should even be sufficient enough for you to apply, but N...

5. Road to NMC Registration

   nurse_cardio replied to promking12's topic in Registration

   They don't answer your phone call? Are you sure? This is the first time I have read that NMC doesn't answer phone calls. As a loyal caller (lol hahaha) to NMC, there was never an incident that my phone call wasn't answered. In fact, if you call them...

6. NMC Test Online

   nurse_cardio replied to alfredpower's topic in Registration

   Did Barts HR gave you an assurance that you will have your COS after November 5 allocation? I have a friend who wasn't given COS last October and she is just livid and disappointed right now. I honestly don't know why she was not given COS. I'm just ...

7. NMC Test Online

   nurse_cardio replied to alfredpower's topic in Registration

   Gen88 is right. She said (if you look and read closely her post), "The only study materials PROVIDED". Yup, Marsden is a big help in CBT review but there was never a mention from NMC to study Marsden. I believe it's only the NMC blue print that they'...

8. NMC Test Online

   nurse_cardio replied to alfredpower's topic in Registration

   Hi. Congrats on getting your DL!! Yes, that's correct. First cohort arrived last Sep 29. I have a friend who is part of the second cohort and she said that the Nov 3 deployment is rescheduled - for what reason, I don't know. As far as I know there ar...

   Is this true?

10. UK Nurse Registration Full Application and Assessment stage before OSCE

    nurse_cardio replied to UK Gal's topic in Registration

    NMC clearly said that Decision Letters usually come within 40-70 working days. I think it will also depend on how busy they can get (increased number of applicants). NMC will inform you (thru email) whether an assessment has been carried out in relat...

    nurse_cardio replied to alfredpower's topic in Registration

    Hey congratulations!!! Which agency are you connected with, if you don't mind me asking? Time for your COS and Visa Application :)

12. NMC Test Online

    nurse_cardio replied to alfredpower's topic in Registration

    "Not everyone from the 1st cohort"? As far as I know all of those in the 1st cohort are going. They're leaving Sep 28, if I remembered it correctly. Really good news. Hopefully we're next :) I will probably be in the 3rd cohort in January as I am try...

    nurse_cardio replied to alfredpower's topic in Registration

    Best thing to do is call NMC. As I've said countless times in this thread, they (NMC) are extremely helpful and straight-forward in handling your questions. Best of Luck!

14. UK Nurse Registration Full Application and Assessment stage before OSCE

    nurse_cardio replied to UK Gal's topic in Registration

    Its working days, not calendar days. You can confirm this by calling NMC. They have some of the nicest customer service representatives, IMHO. Pretty straight-forward in answering you and are really helpful.

15. UK Nurse Registration Full Application and Assessment stage before OSCE

    nurse_cardio replied to UK Gal's topic in Registration

    Nope. Not necessarily. That is entirely dependent on your employer whether they will apply COS for you with or without DL (Decision Letter). COS can be given even without a decision letter and applying for a working visa doesn't need DL as well, just...
