NMC Test Online

Published

Anybody here who took the Pearsons Vue NMC exam? How was it? TY!

Anyone here under OMANFIL and KCH?

I received a text message this morning which reads exactly like this: "Still waiting po ng COS. Your deployment moved on October. Thanks!" I was shocked because i didn't know I was lined up for deployment already. After all, I have just submitted my documents and NMC is yet to confirm if they have actually received my papers.

This was my response, "Noted. However, I don't have my DL yet. I'm still in the assessment phase. Will I still be deployed even though I don't have my DL yet?" They replied YES!

I'm quite confused on how this will work? Is it really possible? Will I work first as a healthcare assistant if this is the case while I'm processing my NMC application? I'm worried because there might be some inconsistencies in the papers I submitted to NMC. I asked OMANFIL if there is any contract coming from KCH and they did not respond. -_-

Hello CloudStrife,

I am from Omanfil under KCH too.

I am about to send all of my documents to NMC and press submit in my NMC online account. I just passed CBT last Aug 03.

Same with you, I have not received anything from Omanfil regarding contract or conditional job offer from Kings.

I have not received any communication directly from Kings whether email or call regarding contract/conditional job offer or whatever.

Omanfil told me they'll request for my COs once I have submitted everything to NMC. So for now, those are the words I am holding into. Good to know I am not the only one entertaining these thoughts now.

Thanks :)

I just read all the pointers from this thread. I didn't read the blueprint (confusing), ran over the Marsden book. I prepared for a month while working so everything was in a rush.

hi. i submitted all my docs last month, but i still haven't received any email from nmc stating the assessment stage has started or my application is already on queue. :(

how soon did the nmc send you this email after you mailed your docs and submitted your application? should i be worried?

Try emailing them. I did, and they confirmed to me the date I was put on assessment queue. Then they said they will contact me again in 70 days. Just be patient with their respond, it might take weeks. If you want an immediate answer though, you can just call them up like some of the members here :)

I am base here in the UK too. Well, my sister is in uni and is about to go on her 3rd year on her nursing. I asked her about the OSCE and she said it's easy peasy for we had countless revalidas when I was a student in the Philippines. Base on her, the test examiners don't like giving complex situations and that all her past OSCE (which she all pass with high scores- 92 above) were all from the Royal Marsden book.

Hope this helps :)

Wow! This is helpful info! Quite uplifting :) I pray that everyone who has booked up to this point will pass!!

Hi all!

I've finally booked my OSCE! Oh! Dear! For those who have paid for OSCE and didn't get a response from the uni.. Check your junk mail.. My receipt went there which has the link for booking the exam. All the best! xx

Congrats kizmwah!! I hope this is it for you, and you will carry on the allnurses flag to UK! And us, just behind you! :)

So what are you doing to prepare for the OSCE? And what date are you going to take it, if I may ask?

Hi! Im also in the process of registering myself in NMC but I know that some of your are aware of the salary limit imposed my the UK Home office (35k pounds after 5 years). If foreign nurses from 2012 are not able to reach this limit, they will be forced to leave the country if they still have only working visa. Right now, I'm just curious/ worried on what do employers offer (to those who have) regarding JOB SECURITY after 5 years. The 35k salary in under band 7 salary grade and it is usually obtained by those who are in administrative work, specialists or more than 5 years of service. Some of my friends in UK are now starting looking for another country and this makes me skeptical.

Info:

Band 1 to 4 - salary grade for nursing assistant (HCA)

Band 5 and above - salary grade for nurses.

Hi Happy Birthday

When did you sit the CBT?

Your best bet is to contact the NMC Overseas registrations regarding this.

NMC have updated the application portal. You can now view when they received your documents and can even see the time..

@nilasingnahipon

thank you! :) i'm booked for the 29th of sept @ 12nn. I'm still reading marsden at the moment. Struggling to finish it! An OSCE skills book by Merriman is helpful as well but it basically just talks about what osce is.. And has some sample situations you might get during the exam..but knowledge base, i'd still go for marsden. xx
