Awaiting the second pack from NMC

Published

Hi There!

I am an indian graduate Nurse awaiting my second pack from NMC. Right now I am in the U.K. as a student. I shall be really glad if the following questions are answered.

1.I had applied the first pack on 11 july 2011. when can I expect the second package?

2.If I get a decision letter will it be possible for me to do Onp on September 2011?

3.Is it possible to transfer from student visa to do Onp or can I still continue my course(pg diploma in Health and social care management) during the adaptation program?

Thanks for your concern .

Warm Regards

priya Newton

How do you plan on getting a job? You'll need UK or EU citizenship (or the spouse of someone who has UK or EU citizenship)--otherwise the only folks who are getting jobs on the shortage list are nurses with OR (theatre) or NICU experience. You also need at least a year of practice as a nurse in order to be eligible to get a license with the NMC (unless you got your nursing degree in the UK? Could be different if that's the case...)

It takes a few months to sort through all the paperwork as there is another pack after the initial one that you send in plus time for the decision, so I don't think you'll be in time for a September ONP.

ONP: you'll have to find a university that runs the course and find out what dates they have.

Visa: you would need to contact the Borders agency to answer this question. To be honest studying to do both is going to be difficult.

Newton, how are things going with the application process? Have you made it through to the "final round"? are you registered? Please share your experience. I am waiting to submit my first application in March 2012 and need all the information I can get regarding this experience.

Thanks in advance!-newshark

Olanlesi, congrats! :)

Just wondering, from the day you turned in everything (application pack 2) to the NMC, to the day you received the decision letter, how long did you have to wait?

Thanks!

I submitted the initial packet late March-early April and received the second packet mid to end of April. I was abroad for a whole month and am just now starting the process of the second packet. Hoping the process will be as painless as possible **fingers crossed**. I will repost as soon as I have made some progress (or what kind of speed bumps I may run into).

I'm hoping you have received your second packet by now?

I also have a general question to anyone who might know the answer:

regarding name changes (due to marriage) DURING application process with the NMC:

....I started the application with the NMC in my maiden name and am hoping it will be quite simple to have them change it once I submit my second packet along with certified copies of my birth certificate, passport (with NEW name) and RN license (with new name), seeing as those 3 docs are the only ones they requested in the first packet.

Anyone with any experience on this matter? Or agree with my reasoning that it shouldn't be too difficult for the NMC to update/change my information?

Thanks to all!
