Anybody here who took the Pearsons Vue NMC exam? How was it? TY!
Concerning the Pearson Vue CBT part 1 of NMC exams, I am scheduled to take it next month and am still confused about the question structure. Coming from the (PN) NCLEX layout (although that was a transition from any other (standardized, etc) testing, the NCLEX was pretty straightforward once you got the hang of it. I finally found one study material for this (had to pay) and am still figuring out how to access everything. Although about half of the questions are very easy, considering the other possible answers are completely off-base. One question was completely wrong to what the answer would be on the NCLEX, though I couldn't really find an NCLEX-approved answer. And another had made-up words as incorrect answers. Some questions even include NHS health stats. Like the NCLEX, they also want you to look through the current health act legislation as relevant to UK. I encountered ONE question of priority/triage, and it also happened to be the only scenario-based one I found. Has anyone who has taken it have any advice about the question format? I am questioning if there is any form of consistency between nursing education world-wide. Am I wrong to think this test is only for foreigners having to prove their level of nursing education, which to me shouldn't include UK-specific stats and laws? And out of curiousity, what is the name for the NHS nursing boards?
Hi, NCLEX is quite different from uk cbt. I reviewed nclex materials on my 1st attempt but only made me confused during my cbt exam. I suggest drop your nclex reviewers and focus on how UK CBT is structured. British also have different approach on several issues. Focus on royal marsden and domains and otjer nmc standards.

Hi Bajaana5,
I agree with SelangRN! I think the NCLEX is very different from the U.K. CBT. The procedures are slightly different, some medications have different names, etc. I too understand that science is science and anatomy is the same all over the world. However, there are different approaches to nursing and caring for others. Throw away all your NCLEX material and read the Royal Marsden! Good luck!
Hi, do I need to present a copy of my converted TOR for the osce? I recall my school sending over the originals to the NMc for the registration so I don't have a copy of that anymore. (PH nurse if this info helps thanks!)
No need.
I will paste here the text content of the second page of the DL:
Checklist for ID check
You must bring the following original documents with you when you attend the OSCE. Failure to do so may result in your OSCE being re-scheduled.
Original passport that was submitted as part of your application and the new version if this has now expired.
Original birth certificate. Any change of name documents e.g. marriage certificate, civil partnership, and deed of name change.
Original police clearance certificates from all the countries/states that you have resided or practised in since the age of 18.
Original diploma or degree certificate. Registration certificates from all of the countries/states that you have practised and/or registered with.
Original police clearance certificates that were submitted as part of your application
Please note: We will not accept copies of any of the documents listed above.
Hi, can someone please help me.
I have a question, I went out of the country for 11 months that was in August 2015 to June 2016, but I have a word with my hospital that I will be back and they accepted me again as staff nurse. So I was working with this hospital since December 2014 to present. My concern is with the osce and immigration, will thdy ask me about what I did in my 11mos gap even though the hospital gave me a straight certificate from Dec 2014 to July 2017 though I am still connected to them until now. My papers are already in progress and awaiting for my DL. Please enlighten me. Thank you.
