NMC Test Online

There are no such thing as band 4 nurses. All nurses start at band 5. If you are being paid at band 4 then you are a healthcare assistant and not a nurse.

See this link

The minimum starting salary for a registered nurse is £21,478

Pay rates 2014-15 - NHS Agenda for Change - RCN

Does that mean when you pass your CBT, all of us will start as a healthcare assistant? That once we pass the OSCE only then we can be registered thus band 5?

Until you have a PIN issued by the NMC you can not be classed as a nurse and will not be paid as a nurse. You need to ask the question to your employer on what you will be starting as until you get your PIN from the NMC

Does IPAMS have any employer coming this march to April?

Silverdragon, something my employer forgot to mention. Ouch.

Mich567, yes! They have emailed me, upcoming interview for this month is on the 23rd to 25th.

That's great...though i have noticed they are all coming at the same date for almost all of the agencies..I will try to email them Thanks alot Petrick RN

When you have your PIN from NMC, as a RN, you will be paid a minimum of Band 5.

Hey everyone,

I took my second attempt today and PASSED, so super happy, the test was poorly written with many grammar errors. Anyhow most of it is general nursing and things you would know, otherwise go with your gut feeling, worked for me. Walked out frustrated thinking I would fail again but got home and checked and passed. Good luck everyone.

Congratulations! :)
