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.
They usually don't reply. Call NMBI and ask if they already have it ob file. I have called them and they said they have it on file in my case.
Hi guys. I am new here and currently processing my nmbi registration. About the saudicouncil certificate of good standing, do you have the list of agents where we can send the link? I tried overseasreg twice but they didn't respond.
Hi. I just started my NMBI application and it has been a week since I sent the overseas application form to the NMBI. Are they going to inform me or confirm that they already received my documents?

Are you under an agency?
Based on my experience, they did not inform me. I just traced it through the courier i used. In my case, dhl. They have tracking number and you could check if the nmbi received your overseas registration form. If you are under an agency, the agency will send you the nmbi pack. If not, nmbi will send the pack to you directly.
Please any one can be help to get below Health Assessment details as i don have any records in hand.
Varicella
MMR
Hepatitis B
BCG
Please advise if anyone already done these medical who do not had records of vaccinations.

Hi sir jerry! I was also required with those kind of vaccines. I do not have my baby book anymore. So what i did is i went to the health center where i had my BCG and hepa B vax given when i was baby and ask for a certification.
With MMR, i had my shot last may 05 and ask for certification.
If you had chicken pox before you could also get a med cert. from a doctor as a proof that you had chicken pox so that they will no longer require you (varicella shot)

Yes, I am under an agency and I mailed the document last May 12 and was received 3 days after on the 15th, however, I haven't received any information regarding my application both from NMBI and the consignee which is an agency in Ireland. Based on the posts I've read here, NMBI will not notify the sender if they received the document or not but they will mail the application pack to the consignee who will scan and send to me via e-mail. I'm just a bit frustrated because my agency here in the Philippines isn't replying to my e-mails.
I have been a member for a while now but just decided to post today. I have been through a lot and here I would share with you my journey in detail:
Oct 11: passed Tallaght Hospital interview at Chesham (I was told to be ready for March/April adaptation)
Oct 22: requested for my NMBI pack
Nov 13: pack received on my email through my agency
Nov 28: scheduled for interview at ABBA for St Vincents University Hospital Dublin (I didn't go which I totally regretted)
Nov 21: NMBI received my Employer's Reference
Nov 28: NMBI received my CCPS
Dec 7: NMBI received my Transcript of Training
Dec 8: NMBI received my Section 1 (this took forever since my agency wanted to check the draft first before they allowed me to send it to Ireland. They also didn't respond to my mails and texts and took forever to answer phone calls so it took me a month before I was able to send it.)
Last week Jan to 1st week Feb: At this time I started getting alarmed since those people that were on the same interview as me back in October already got their Decision Letters even when I started processing mine wayyy before they did. I tried emailing/calling NMBI to follow-up but nothing happened (my documents remained outstanding).
2nd week of Feb:
-At some point, I was informed by about 2 NMBI agents that they didn't receive the Verification Form from PRC and that only my Good Standing arrived. They said that they have been waiting for this document since November. They advised me to resend another CCPS but I insisted that both documents (Verification and Good Standing) were sent together in one envelope as confirmed by PRC staff. It turned out that my Verification Form was only misplaced and that NMBI found it afterwards. Going through this ordeal, I realized that CPL (Chesham's Dublin-based agency) really never tried to follow-up my NMBI, not even once despite all my efforts of reminding Chesham about it a few times. If I had only I known this would happen, I would have contacted NMBI last December or right after I finished sending all the documents right away. Due to this, I decided that it is best to transfer to finally move on and transfer to another agency which is Kate Cowhig Recruitment (KCR), which I had planned since way back November.
*My advise to those that are still on this stage or about to start their application is to "contact NMBI as often as you could". If you notice that there is something wrong, don't hesitate to follow up. Yes you might have an agency but some of them don't bother with it due to sheer number of applicants they are handling or whatever reasons they have.
To continue
Feb 15: Emailed [email protected] and finally got a response within an hour (Status changed to Review Pending)
Feb 22: Passed the skype interview of SVUH through KCR (they scheduled me for June adaptation)
Mar 1: Assessment
Mar 15: Decision Pending
Mar 21: DL received by KCR (it took 4 months from my last document sent until issuance, very looong I know)
Last week of Mar: submitted all the necessary documents to the hospital in preparation for the processing of my NMBI certificate and ATWS
2nd week of April: Paid my ATWS (which will be reimbursed)
April 25: Received a depressing email from my KCR consultant which said that my adaptation got pushed back and that I won't be included for the June since according to them only a handful of nurses were taken as the hospital didn't have enough slots.
Until now, my processing is still put on hold. My NMBI still shows Decision Pending. From what I was told, DATHS currently have put all adaptation schedules on hold as they are reserving slots for future Irish nurses that are graduating soon.
Does anyone share the same experience as me? Let me know.

Yes the agency based in ireland will send you a scanned copy of your nmbi pack once they received it. If they received it May 15, the usual time frame (according to my agency) is 2-3weeks. In between the period i haven't heard anything from my agency too... they just send me the email once they had my pack... I requested mine april 24, nmbi got it by the 27th. Then the agency just emailed me by May 9 sending the scanned copy. If after 2 weeks and you still didn't hear from your agency better call them.
I'm under Chesham. I'm just hoping that I will be able to receive the scanned copies by next week so that I can start sending the needed documents in the pack. In what agency are you in?

We are under the same agency.. :) always check your email.. they usually dont inform you by text or call.. just through email.. i got mine almost 2 weeks from the time nmbi received it. Are you under DATHS?

Hi! I'm also under chesham and DATHS any update for you when is the deployment? I have this fear that they stopped sending nurses already.
DATHs have halted deployment for their foreign nurses at this time to prioritize new Irish nurses that are graduating soon. I was supposed to leave this June but they postponed it, under further notice.
