Paperwork in NH

Hi Razvannus,

I have recently gone through the qualification period to work in the UK, and it's actually relatively easy! You have to apply for a registration package from the NMC website, they send it to your home address with all the instructions on what attachments you need to enclose with your application (like English translation of your graduation paper, proof of qualification in your own country, copy of passport and birth certificate, a police declaration). Also you will need "a proof of good character" (for me I got one from my country's "NMC" if you will) and also a "declaration of good health" (basically just a physician's signature and stamp on the application).

Start by reading the NMC website about qualification, then order the package for EU registration (free for you, sending it back costs as well as the application fee and eventually registration fee).

Best of luck!

The op is looking to what sort of paperwork is done when working in a nursing home.

Wooops! It must be way due to my bed time apparently! Thanks for noticing..

So forget my first comment!!

Thanks salsitu[COLOR=#000000], but I apply for PIN what i want to know what kinda of paperwok is done in NH. For medication, daily raports, vital signs, etc.[/COLOR]

It varies so much. I used to work in a nursing home where the carers did a lot of the paperwork for the pressure area care and daily reports and I just counter-signed it. The longest time spend for me was medication rounds for 28 EMI residents. Took most of the morning. Then lots of time with phone calls and faxing GP surgeries to sort out medications or if a resident needed to be seen. But plenty of time left for hands on care with patients. You should have a good idea of what is expected of you on your induction, and remember the more you get used to the residents the quicker you will be with medications etc. We didn't have many peg feeds or palliative patients in our home though, so can't comment on that. They were very advanced dementia.

Hy Lily, thanks for info so I'm "blessed" because I think 2-3 months I do carers work ( waiting for PIN ). Preperde myself for what is next ... and for sure I come back with news form there
