Thanks for the article. But this is for nurses already in UK. I was thinking that the reason my friends are applying now is because of something happening in the registration process. I'm searching NMC right now and can't find a thing.

Is this for an annual renewal or to join the register? The NMC will usually write out to you to let you know in advance that you need to renew and you can do that online which is must quicker than any other method.

If your friends have just joined the register for the first time then I understand why they would be sending paperwork early as all paperwork must be scanned and uploaded and it can take a while to process.

I have not heard of any changes to renewal as far as I know but I l remember when uni sent my details to the NMC and some people suffered delays etc. Remember the NMC gets thousands of applications so it can take a bit of time so its good to get in there as quick as possible.

There are changes coming in in the fall for nurses that train outside of the EU when they apply. Do you mean this?
