Latterlife Midwife:

It's 12K Philippine Pesos, and for the record, I am not in anyway affiliated to any agency that you are saying.

Someone (from the Philippines) asked how much does applying for NMC registration cost on the average (obviously in Philippine pesos), and I answered, in good faith, the costs that I personally incurred, that's why I also mentioned courier fees. It is for them to get the big picture.

Aim before you shoot. Thank you.

Hi,

Regarding 1 year experience as registered nurse, what kind of nursing work does it mean? Does it only mean hospital nursing experience or it can be anything related to nursing like company nursing, clinic nursing, private duty nursing, etc?

Thanks in advance. :flwrhrts:

Interesting question Kween. I myself would also like to know the answer to that. Ask NMC thru email.

Hello there,

I guess my ques is also the same. kindly take a minute to read it.

I recently opened account on allnurses.com, i really like this website. Its really helpful for all the nurses in the world. i often see a discussion and advises upon them.

I have a question and i am really worried about it. I am planning to apply to NMC UK.

But i don't have experience in clinical settings, I read the NMC's requirement criteria for registration. i am copying and pasting it

"Practice Requirements At the time of the application, the applicant must have been practising as a

registered nurse or midwife for at least 12 months (full-time or the part-time

equivalent) after qualifying. Also, if the applicant has been qualified for longer than

this, they must have also practised for at least 450 hours in the previous three

years. The NMC defines 'practising' as working in some capacity by virtue of your

registration as a nurse or midwife. Practice can include administrative, supervisory,

teaching, research and managerial roles as well as providing direct patient care. In

addition, this can include volunteer work as long as any practice is registered.

If the applicant is a nurse and has not practised in more than five years prior to

their application with us, they will have to undertake a longer version of the

Overseas Nurses Programme (see pages 17 and 22 for further information).

If they are midwife but they have not practised midwifery in the five years prior to

their application with us, they must do a return to midwifery practice course in

their home country (see page 13 for further information)

If you have not been practising as a registered nurse for at least 12 months, then

you cannot apply to register with the NMC until you have completed this. This is a

mandatory requirement, for which there are no exceptions. "

I am a RN in India, I have completed my diploma (3 and half years course) in Nursing as well as Degree ( 2 years course ) in Nursing and currently i am working in a BSN college as a "Clinical Instructor ". I am afraid that am i eligible to apply for registration, as i am working in college?? But see what NMC defines about practicing. So, i am worried and in a confused state. I have 18 months experience as a Clinical Instructor. If i am eligible to apply then will i get a job in clinical setting ?? This scares me as i work in college side.

I really want to work in UK. If it wont work for me then i will have to quit my job and start working in hospital.

Kindly guide me and suggest me a solution on it.

Thank you

The best option is for you to contact the NMC and ask if your experience is sufficient, if you haven't worked clinically since registration then I doubt they will accept you university work as meeting the requirement.

Also as far as getting a job, it's difficult enough to get work having trained in the UK so you will need to demonstrate skills and experiences that are attractive to employers before you would be considered. If you have no clinical experience I would say you'll find it very difficult to get work.

Thanks, I have emailed to NCM. Waiting for their reply. Will let you know as soon as they reply.

According to one of my friend in UK, who is a RN. He told NMC will accept my experience as I am functioning as a registered nurse. My role includes supervision of student nurses in their clinical and teaching them as well. Anyways, Its always better to concern with authority before applying. Fingers crossed. :)

Hoping to get a positive reply from NMC.
