Only do the course if you are sure you are going to get a work permit. Remember nursing is on the shortage list but only nurse specialists in OR, neonatal ICY and operating department practitioner and even then with high unemployment in the UK and skilled workers now being capped the likelihood on obtaining a work permit is hard

Thank you so much for your reply. Yeah! The agency said I can have a work permit for as long as I can pass all the requirements. Hope I could! Thanks again!

Please bear in mind that it's not recruitment agencies that issue work visas but the borders agency (immigration service)

The agency may not have the authority to give you a permit, you'd be better asking the borders agency if you meet their criteria

yes..but they are the one who will look for the employer..they will be the one to assist us throughout the process..the requirements i mentioned includes the acceptance letter from the NMC, passing the training and acquiring the pin#..

thanks again! ;)

Looking for a employer doesn't mean you will get a work permit, you have to meet the skilled workers requirements and nurses are restricted for skills as I mentioned in a previous post and unemployment is still high in the UK

Specializes in NICU NURSE.

Hi! im a nurse here in the Philippines and I already hold a valid NMC decion letter. I'am going to the UK as a student by next month because I want to take some post grad course. I would like to ask if I can take the ONP also because I have the work experience as a NICU nurse for about 3 years already and I believe that it is one of the shortage occupation for nurses? Would that be possible?
