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.
jernieann, i would suggest to register and make an account online with FedEx. They have a promo of 30% discount for international shipping when you open an account with them. All you need to have is either debit or credit card. Coz sending documents to Ireland is very expensive and youll gonna be sending around 2-3 documents that is if you opt to send the documents such as prc, employers reference on your own plus the application packet section 1. í ½í¸Š
I do actually have an employer. Luckily, I have an offer from St. Vincent University Hospital, and we're just waiting for my DL. I do also have a pending offer here from a local agency under DATHS. My next step now depends on my result of my application.
Based on my former head nurse, NMBI only verifies if my background is true. Just the basic, he said; such as length of stay and performance. That's the only information he divulge.
I didn't receive my NMBI in time. The pack arrived in my post office January 16 and they didn't immediately send it. It took me a month because I thought they will deliver it. After a month of waiting (Feb 16) that's when I decided to go to the post office and seek for it.
Also, looking at other people's NMBI timeline eases my anxiety so I'm sharing mine like Buknit. Thank you :)
Hi Kelubi!
So technically if you accept the offer from St. Vincent Univ Hospital you will be a Direct Hire or they have a partner-agency here in the Philippines to help you process your papers? :)

Congrats anyway!
PS: I sent a msg on your email :)
SVUH receives adaptees. Most probably it'll be a direct hire procedure however I've seen in the news that poea/dole is going strict when it comes to direct hire scheme. I'm not thinking about it yet for I'm still waiting for my DL.
Saint Vincent's Univ Hosp is under DATHS, if you're aware of it. And Ch*sh*m and CPL are partnered agencies of DATHS.
Hi buknit! I want to join the viber group. can i have your email as well? Im trying to join the Filipino nurses in Ireland but i was not approved yet.
Same here, I joined the Filipino Nurses in Ireland, second generation. It wasn't approved too. Maybe my fangirling profile doesn't look professional enough. haha.

Buknit and I are on the same viber group. I sent you a PM, just check it cos I left my viber contact so you could talk to everyone who is undergoing the application.
