I am a registered nurse in the Philippines and now working as an Intensive Care Unit Nurse here in Saudi Arabia for almost two years.
I am planning to move my nursing career further in Ireland. I have paid the €350 assessment fee with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) and the accounts department already provided me with a pin and advised me to wait for the delivery of my application pack.
The assessment fee was processed since April 17, 2015. I just wonder about how long it would take me to receive the application pack here in Saudi Arabia.
I hope that someone could help me. I'm so excited to process my application for Registration with NMBI.
Hi @KeyBean. I am with NurseIreland. Did you apply through Serviecon agency here in the Philippines. NurseIreland is there corresponding agency in Ireland.
I am already on the 3rd month in waiting for my decision letter. Last Sept 29, NMBI asked some explanation about my work experience via e-mail and said that they will be sending my files for assessment after receiving the explanation being asked. So far, the staff of NurseIreland has been helpful. í ½í¸ƒ
I came across this posts since I am also planning to apply in Ireland. I am currently under an agency here in the Philippines. I really want to start the process of submitting the overseas registration application form. But, they told me to wait for further advice since my papers are for assessment. I know that it usually takes 2 weeks before the pack arrives. So, would it be much better if I start sending it to NMBI directly?Has anyone here started the process even without an agency?
Also, if I will send it via courier, do I really have to specify NON EU NURSE APPLICANT FOR IRELAND?Or just simply send the application form directly on their address?...
yeees maam. I am still waiting for my application pack. Im on my first month of waiting and keeping in contact with serviecon. I am still waiting for emails from NurseIreland. Hehehe. Im a bit worried now because im unemployed. Made a wrong move. Yet im still hopeful that i would make it in ireland. Got any soft copy for application forms? So that i could prepare myself. Hehehe. Thaaaanks maam. Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the reply!!!
Yes you do as this will make sure your application goes to the right place
I'm with Wise. We both made sure that the NMBI will accept my IELTS UKVI Academic exam results before I go on ahead with my application and thankfully they do. So I'm not sure what's the basis of that agency as to why they won't entertain applicants with IELTS UKVI. If I may suggest it would be better to look for another agency that doesn't have that kind of a rule.
Greetings Sir! Are you talking about Wise? As in Wisearch Solutions UK Ltd, based in London? Thanks for the response. Well appreciated.:)
I am also planning to start my NMBI application. Would somebody be kind enough to send me a soft copy of the application form? I would like to review the forms in advance. Thank you!
Has this been answered? I would like to know as well
If you're going to sign up with Wisesearch you will have to pay GBP 700. They will ask you to pay 350 first and then the next 350 is when you get your decision letter from NMBI.
How about the form B for the employer ? Did you use the official stamp of the hospital or from the person who signed it? I am also confused with nurse matron; is it equivalent to our nurse supervisor or head nurse?
Just to be on the safe side here, its stated on that form that it should be completed by the following: Director of Nursing/Midwifery, Matron, Nurse/Midwife Manager. If you're not reporting to anyone of those you can explain it. There's a field in there for that. Again, im just trying to play safe here. You can also check with your agency they might have a better suggestion.
