NMC delay and ONP Course at Bournemouth

World Registration

Published

Hello all,

I'm currently in the process of being registered with the NMC. Has anyone sent their paperwork recently and still waiting for their decision letter? The NMC has put a hold on all the applications, just wondering if anyone has heard back recently.

ALSO: If all goes as planned, I will be taking the ONP Course at Bournemouth starting April 24th. Is anyone else out there planning on taking the same class??

Whoa...so glad I got this sorted before all of this...although they could decide not to grandfather people in, as is their right, of course.

Yeah well, that was the only consideration no other differences, Australian nurses still take the IELTS and still had to meet all other criteria same as every other.

God forbid to treat the colonies equally and with respect.......and. the years go on and on.

Better tread carefully NMC. Your UK educated nurses are well treated here in Australia with many exemptions, when Registering as a nurse,even though many educated past 10 years are not general educated as Australan nurses and with no restrictions on where they can be employed!!..and no IELTS!!! Maybe AHPRA needs to look at that as well.

Message to self: Email AhPRA in t he morning And ask for criteria, of why UK nursing education is given so much exemptions over other countries nursing education.

On the other hand, in the US, we make them take the NCLEX. I wonder if Canada makes them take their own licensing exam? I wouldn't wish the NCLEX on any foreign educated nurse...

Yes we have to sit the CRNE to be able to work in Canada and come 2015 it will be similar to the NCLEX

Haven't even done my ONP, loz_newby!....Was thinking I would have at least gotten that out of the way by now, but not even..... :/

Anybody have any recommendations to HCA positions near South-Central London? I've only been to the NHS website...any other agencies or private companies someone would like to recommend to me?

Hi!

I was about to request for an application form in the NMC website when I found out that they had just postponed processing overseas applications.

Any idea of what the requirements are for packet one? I know the requirements might be different from the previous one, but I'd just like to know so I'll at least have an idea and start fixing some documents as early as I can.

Or if anyone could be kind enough to forward me details sent by NMC for packet one? That would truly be great :)

Thank you!

hello everyone,

good news! i got my letter from nmc today stating that i can start with my ONP.

i am so relieved. after almost six months with all of those delays and everthing i can finally start.

it says that i have to do 20 days theoretical and 6 months supervised placement -

this coming monday i will try and inquire about the course at St Georges Tooting. - my first choice

hope everyones application is goin on well too! will update as soon as i find a good place to do my ONP

god bless!

Congrats blueice!

I too recently received my letter for 20 days ONP study and did some calling around for the universities in London (only called City of London and one other) and both were about £1000+...but Bournemouth University offers it for £450.

Just sent my application for their ONP. Hoping to get in ASAP.

If you don't mind posting how much Tooting's ONP is, that would be nice seeing as I am closer in location to them.

Good luck with the rest of this LONG journey! I think I see some light at the end of the tunnel now!

Kindest regards

Are you working with a travel nurse agency? Now that the NMC has reopened it's doors, have you been placed at a hospital yet? Do you have to do supervised practice?

Newshark,

I am currently waiting for my second packet from the NMC. I have heard that this process can take months... In your experience, what was the time-frame of getting accepted by the NMC and hearing back from the ONP? Were you able to move to England before you heard about placement at the ONP in Bournemouth?

Thanks in advance, I hope you have been accepted to the ONP by now!

thanks newshark.

update: ive been calling around for the university. ive called city university and st georges university so far. apparently both of them can't provide me with the placement needed and that i have to find my own placement.

is there anyone here who knows where i can have a placement? this is another obstacle in this nurse registration. and i thought all along that the university ill provide everything. btw, nmc gave me 6 months placement/exposure! OH THE PAIN!
