In the middle of Jan I renewed my NMC registration. I did not receive my NMC card so gave them a phone. NMC stated they had sent me my new card so I can only surmise that the card has gone walkabout.
I was given a new card but am somewhat worried that the first card with my name and registration number is in limbo land somewhere. Hope no-one has got it and is fraudantly practising as a nurse somewhere.
I have written to the NMC registration director and asked her why such important documents are not sent registered/recorded delivery. I am still awaiting a reply. Surely with the big increase in fees they could 'protect the public' more by making sure our registration details/cards are sent to us in a safe way.

you have to maintain your nmc license if you working abroad?
so two sets of fees
my newly qualifted mate is not happy about the 7 quid
No you do not have to maintain when abroad, you can deactivate it and as long as you meet condition shouldn't have issues when reactivating.... there again we are talking about NMC
nightmare, RN

I remember reading in the papers about some NHS hospitals which were found to have nurses who had not been registered for 9 years!
