NMC Test Online

Published

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

Hi Andrei

In my case, they asked me to send a blank reference form no. 1. May i ask if they only uploaded your reference form no. 2 when they rceived your letter? Up to now, they arent uploading yet my reference no. 1. I assume that they will only upload it once they received my letter along with my blank ref. form no. 1. Thanks.

hi guys!

I just wanted to ask if its ok that one of my references is a nurse educator? And also, would it be a problem if I was hired first? Coz he started working at the hosp June 2010 while I was hired Feb 2010.

Thank you ������

Don't worry, they will upload it maybe 5-10 days after it was delivered by the courier to them. Just give them time.

Hi guys!

Just wanted to let you guys know I'm already in the UK working for an NHS trust for over a month already. :)

I am now preparing for the OSCE which I will sit end of February. I would like to thank everyone here in this forum for helping me out during the dreaded months I was going thru paperwork upon paperwork for NMC. And all the information shared to help me with CBT until my flight.

I will be following another thread here for OSCE, seeing that mostly the posts here are CBT- and COS-related queries. Of course I could still answer a few questions for some of you guys if you PM me. :)

If anyone from my batch last year of applicants still want to have that meet up that was mentioned a couple of months ago, hit me up! :D

And to all those who are still in the running for their DL, waiting for their COS or still taking their CBT/IELTS/interview -- best of luck to all of you guys!! The people here in allnurses have been really helpful. And I hope to see you all in this side of the world as well!

Cheers to us all!

Hi @Willinski.

passed the CBT last Oct 15

sent my docs to NMC by Nov 17

my docs were reflected on my NMC portal by Nov 27

got my DL by Dec 23 :)

Wow that's less than a month for the DL. I hope I'll have mine soon too! Aside from all these waiting games and endless paperwork, I'm worried about the OSCE. I have no idea how to go about it. Is your employer going to provide training/review for that?

The barcoded forms (except the one coming from the PRC) I submitted were reflected on my portal when I checked yesterday, but when I signed in again earlier, they were no longer listed on my account.

Should I be worried about this or it's just technical glitch?

Hi,

Just wanted to know if we can process our visa application in other country other than your home country. Been working in middle east for almost 2 yrs now and having been advised by the agency in UK to hand in my notice, I can't go home to process the visa application and requirements for it.

Thanks for the reply

Hi faith in UK,

Both kizmwah and Lovelie Grace are RGNs now, they passed the OSCE a few months back. Yes we're in the same boat as to the time we last practiced, I rang nmc about that when I was just starting to process. They said that's why they have the cbt and osce as long as you pass that proves your competency. I'm still struggling with my nbi I have to get another one because they base the validity of 3 months from the date of issue, mine expires Aug 2016 but because it was issued Aug. 2015 and due to some mistakes it was received by nmc Dec. 2015 so it is expired according to them. Ring them and ask again about that 3 years thing but that was the answer I got and proof of that is kizmwah who is an RGN now.

Hope that helps. All the best to us.

Hi melcahussey, thanks so much for the reply and reassurance!! i got the confirmation now that I passed my CBT and also paid for the application fee.. Now while printing the documents i needed to send to Philippines for my parents to hand in to my university, prc and employer, im also wondering how to get an NBI if im here in the UK?

In 2015 before i ever started this whole process i ramg them about it and told me the same thing as long as i pass the 2 exams of competency.. But will call them again ;)

Yes you can process it there as long as you have your Certificate of Sponsorship.

The application there will be faster and more convenient since you don't have to submit any medical clearance or certificate as opposed to the process in the Philippines.

I have obtained my UK visa in Saudi Arabia prior going to back to PH.

For NBI clearance: If you have your expired NBI clearance, send it to the Philippines including your signed authorization letter (explain that you are out of the country) and copy of valid IDs like PRC and Passport. Once received by your family, then they have to go to NBI main office for processing. This is what I did while I am in Saudi Arabia.

hi Westmack!

I've got couple more questions hoping you can give some insights?

I'm already married and is using my married name, my expired NBI clearance was still in my maiden name, will this be a problem or a marriage cert would suffice for my family to process my clearance?

Also, NMC asked for 2 employer for reference, I only have one employer for my nursing work experience and my second employment I was not practicing as a nurse. who else should I put for the second reference? many thanks!!

Hi Faith,

Most likely it would suffice since you have your marriage contract as a proof. But I have another suggestion if you want to be sure, you can go to the Philippine Embassy it is somewhere near Trafalgar square in London.

Do the finger printing there, tell them that you need it for NBI clearance. Once done and certified by the embassy, you can send the NBI request form with your fingerprint on it and with your new name to the Philippines. Same process, include your authorization letter and IDs.

For the referees, you can have 2 referees from your 1st employer which I also did when I am also dealing with the paper works.

Hope this helps :)
