NMC Test Online

Published

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

They did not inform me right away when they put me on queue. I don't think they do it anyway. So, i tried sending them an email asking if my application is already on assessment. They responded a week after. That's how I got the confirmation from them. I really hope our DL would arrive soon. As far as I can remember Barts is expecting for us this month or next.

Oh i also did the same thing! Have you resigned from your work already? My problem is that if i receive my DL this month(may God permit), i still have to render 1 month service to my employer after i pass may resignation letter, and if Barts wants us on November ill still be working by then. Ill start expecting my DL on the 3rd week of October. Do you happen to know how many of us already have and/or waiting for the DL?

That's kinda hard of a situation you may have. Maybe you can ask someone from our agency what's the best thing to do with regards to your current employment. It might be best if you can resign as soon as possible if you don't want any conflict with your employer by the time we have to process things for our deployment, but of course I'm not in the position to tell you what to do. In my case, I have ended my contract with my employer last July and I chose not to renew it anymore since it's gonna be a trouble if I leave my job in the middle of a contract. As far as I know, there are seven or eight of us waiting for the DL, not just so sure though. I'm in contact with the other three.

Good day everyone. I just wanna ask what certificate or affidavit should I submit to the NMC regarding my birth certificate because I had my first name changed in the year 2012. It says in the NMC

"If your name has ever been changed you must submit documentary evidence below:

(Note: We accept Marriage Certificates or Change of Deed/Deed Poll Certificates).

As far I know the Deed Poll Certificate that they referring to has an equivalent certificate/affidavit here in the Philippines. If anyone of you had the same situation, I'd be so grateful if you can share with me. Thank you....:saint:

Wow. It's good to know that you're already working there. That's a very good way of preparing for the OSCE. At least you're on your way to adapting the UK standards, it's way too different than just reading the books. And yes, checking both my email and my portal has become a habit for me too. I always get excited everytime I browse my accounts, just to get disappointed in the end. LOL. But i know, it's just on its way. I'll keep you posted. Thanks!

Hi guys!

Just an update. It's been over a month since I last checked this forum.

I'm glad to say I got my DL last Sept. 18th at 9PM - kinda early by my count - so I was pretty stoked. Only 54 days! :D

But after telling my agency the good news, they said (after two weeks, mind you) that I cannot push forward to the COS queue because of the UKVI IELTS. I had previously taken the regular IELTS Academic last Oct 2014 and applied with that. Now I learned that even if the IELTS is good till November 5th, the trust cannot process my COS unless I take the UKVI IELTS one. They want us to take it this month. -_-"

Which brings me to this quote by @rachel15 I was shocked to find that you need 7 in all categories for it?

Hi guys! :) I took the ukvi ielts last aug. 29 and unfortunately, I failed in the speaking subtest. I got a 6.5, the rest were amazing though and my obs was 7.5. However, no matter how high my other subtests were, the nmc will not accept it, so I feel devastated.

I'm planning to retake the exam this november . Any tips on speaking?

My agency told me to just take it without reviewing since they only need a 4.5.

Can anyone shed some light on this? What is really needed for the UKVI IELTS Academic? 4.5 or 7 in all?

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I'm from jedegal manppwr agency, shrewsbury hosp. Yes, i'm also waiting for my decision letter. My last docs was delivered 17th of this month. They say it'll take 40 to 70 days upon queue. I already took the ukvi ielts prior regitration to nmc.

Hey! I'm from the same trust! Were you interviewed last March as well? PM-ed you! :)

For those wondering about my timeline:

CBT - March 9

Interviewed for the Job - March 10

NMC received all my documents - July 28 (I started late since processing documents is expensive)

DL received - Sept 18 (54 days)

**

My trust was also mentioned in the previous linked article by BBC regarding nursing shortages. I'm proud my trust is taking a stand for it. With how UK is now, they're actually facing a grimmer and colder winter if they don't change their numbers.

Btw, just for clarification, what is the point system you guys are talking about for COS? That's following the 20,700 COS/year count? Please enlighten me :)

**

I, too, have changed from agency to agency trying to find the perfect fit. There were agencies who didn't see my work experience as "valid" so I had been denied and passed on before accidentally finding the agency I applied to now. They're still not perfect, but by my reading, I like the trust they're representing. :) And they're (the agency) pretty supportive - they're offering loans for applicants who cannot shoulder the 15k UKVI IELTS on their own at such a short period. So yeah, I'm sticking to this now. :)

**

I'm getting all excited when I read up on past applicants who I was asking from months before and now they're already in UK or about to be deployed - the next and ultimate step that we all want. And some of us now are next in line. And new ones coming in.

I really hope we guys could meet up after everything! :D Winter months is gonna be extremely cold and frosty, it'll be good to warm up with some Filipino tradition. I am personally grateful for everything shared and everything learned thus far.

OSCE is my next step - and I am confident that those who will take it will also lead the way for the rest of us. GOD SPEED ALLNURSES FAM! :)

Here's the link.

Find out what score you need for your visa | Take IELTS

The NMC requirement for registration is 7.0 and up in all sub-tests. It's a different score requirement for Visa Processing. I think the member who you quoted hasn't had any IELTS yet, so she's required to take the UKVI-type for the purposes of NMC registration and visa application. Two birds in one stone. That's how I see it.

I am on the same boat as you. Took the regular IELTS-Academic last March 2015. Seems I don't have any choice but to take the UKVI-type.

Hope this helps.

3 to 4 days based from my experience. I think they have cutoff times, hence having slight discrepancies with the time of delivery of the documents to their respective destinations.
