Anybody here who took the Pearsons Vue NMC exam? How was it? TY!
We are almost in the same situation. I worked in Saudi Arabia for 2 years. Usually, employers are the ones who keep the Professional Accreditation Certificate of their staff. Some of them are generous enough to give it when it's time for their employees to leave. Unfortunately, they did not give my cert. I am already here in the Philippines and I asked NMC about this issue. I sent them an email and I was advised that since I already left the country, I can just send them my Certificate of Good Standing and exit stamp on my passport. They also advised me to attach a cover letter for me to explain my situation and in order for me to inform my assessor regarding the written instruction that was provided to me by the registrations officer who replied to me (I also attached a screenshot of the NMC's reply to my email). I was placed on queue last January 6, 2017 and I'm still waiting for a feedback from them.
Hi Everyone, I need help. Been on the queue since November 24th and I just received an mail from NMC saying Further information required. They said I should provide my nursing registration certificate, and in my country the nursing registration certificate gets ready after 5years but we r given a temporary document called a notification of registration which states you are a registered nurse with the board. Nmc U.K. Is not accepting this document. Please who has encountered this problem and what can I do? Thanks
That's the start of brexit right?The government wants to reduce migration to the UK, and that affects us.
hi, if you read the terms about brexit, it wont necessarily affect us. :) regarding the new immigration process, price for a sponsorship application will tend to get higher. so for example, the average expenses for 1 nurse from ph is 5k quids (including ielts review fee, ielts, recrutment, advertising etc), by april, itll reach 9k quids...thats how our hr explained.
just an update, i was contacted by an assessment officer yesterday, asking to re upload my new passport, my birth certificate and my nursing qualification (as she can't find it in my portal) how frustrating is that. so i immediately uploaded my new passport and my birth certificate and my nursing qualifcation, having problem on their site, i kept on saving it once i uploaded a file. next thing i know, all my pertinent data are all erased even the barcoded forms, were all gone. so immediately contacted the assessment officer assigned on my case, and was advise that it was probably caused by a system error. that she will coordinate with their admin team to rescan all the forms back to my file. so i redo and typed all my datas. she said she'll get back to me (god knows when) to reassess my case.
aw fingers crossed. this is so frustrating, hope it won't happen to anyone else.
When did you enter the queue?

Hi dear mango1888, thanks for the response. Please tell me more about the cover letter, did you write it yourself and send it through courier to Nmc or was it written by your registration body in the country you left. I was told to get the certificate of good standing over the phone when I called Nmc so there is nothing to munch. My assessment officer replied a few days after that to say that she won't accept the certificate of good standing. Although I still sent it its yet to be uploaded on my application page. Thanks

Oh my. I'm so sorry to know that. they have no idea how difficult it is to obtain all the documents they require and all of a sudden it will disappear like that. I hope that they will sort out everything for you.
On the brighter side, at last they started to assess your papers, you'll receive your DL in no time. fingers crossed. :)
It's just a letter that explains why I don't have a professional certificate in Saudi Arabia, what was advised to me by the registrations officer of NMC via email and the attachments that I will send to them together with that cover letter. I wrote it by myself as what they advised to me (both in email and by their phone representative). So aside from other supporting evidences such as my exit stamp and certificate of good standing, I also sent them the screenshot of the email that their department sent me that says they will consider my application without my professional certificate as long as I can provide those other documents that they mentioned. I can suggest to you to email them, explain your situation and then if they replied that they will allow other supporting documents, screenshot that and send it to them together with the cover letter and the attachments. How did your assessor contacted you? Via phone or email?

I think that's why sometimes it's much better to contact them via email, so that you will have something in writing from them as an evidence that you were advised by their officer about something. How can one person from the same department tells you to send a certificate of good standing and then another person will tell you it's unacceptable. Very very disappointing.

Yeah. Its been very frustrating. Will send them an email so it will be documen. Although when my employer called Nmc they told them I should send a certificate good standing too. Anyways was it after you submitted the certificate of good standing that you were placed on the queue on 7th January 2017 and did you send the cover letter via courier. My assessment officer communicated with me via mail and phone call. I didn't talk to her directly but the person that picked my call put me on hold and related my message to her.
I sent all of those documents together with my barcoded forms. All in one envelope. I sent it to them and they received it all December 22, 2016. I entered the queue January 6, 2017 and I am still waiting for their feedback til now.

what i understood from the link regarding the new guidelines is that since nurses is still under the national shortage occupation list, we are still a priority for issuing the Certificate of Sponsorship. There is no need to worry about the Brexit, they need us (NURSES) more than we need them. A friend of mine whose already working in the UK told me that they are really struggling due to the shortage of nurses and it is almost becoming a crisis.
