The hospital is willing to sponsor me and help me to accomodate. The agency Told me I have to take IELTS and to NMC register asap so they can move forward for my paper works. My question is what if I failed the IELTS, am I losing my chance to be sponsored again by That employer? I actually have two aside for BS Nursing degree I also have an Associate Degree of Surgical Technologist and i took it and graduated United States and work there for few years. Registering NMC is in so much pain in the neck. Is there any other option so I can attain togo to the UK in order for me to easily work there as a nurse and register to NMC maybe?
