You will need to chase them. I ended up making aa packed lunch and then going and sitting at the NMC all day!

Two options. Find out which university the school of nursing moved to; they will have an archive. Or second choice, you might find it at the NMC. I've done both previously, both are slow and will only have poor photocopies, but they ca...

You could also get your UK RN license and work locally, which will retain your TX RN license because its reciprocal. Lots of military spouses do that, at one point my floor in a hospital in Cambridge had more American spouses than local nurses!

OK, so the rules have changed, and CPD is no longer enough. I'm wondering about how to achieve the "reflective discussion" part when there are no UK registered nurses where I work. So, all expat Brits, please let me know how you plan to maintain your...

Most of us did it back in the day when the UK qualification was the RGN, which included all four branches and therefore met the requirements. One of the reasons they brought in the branches was to stop everyone going overseas! I believe there ar...

So we have always done triage the usual way, catching patients as they arrive, assessing them and then assigning them to the relevant waiting room to see the doc. Now we have a new policy. We no longer prioritize seeing patients on arrival, but ...

UK nurses overseas - maintaining NMC registration - United Kingdom (allnurses.com) Just add a comment onto this thread. Overseas nurses have been using this site for years. State where you are, or at least which time zone, and someone who can co...

I'm asking for help from anyone in District or Practice Nursing, to find out the current guidelines or targets for care for the elderly population. Long story short, my 91 year old mum has not seen a GP since she moved house 6 years ago. I took ...

I'm looking for actual NHS policy framework documents regarding standards of care. They can't just ignore a patient over 90 because they don't understand how the phone robot works. And I can't call for her as I am overseas and the freaking robot won'...

That's interesting as it seems to be for under 75s only. I will need to dig a little more to find out the plan for the over 75s! But thank you, I can search for links from there. It's difficult to find NHS info from overseas, as Google keeps giving m...

The time difference from here in Chicago to Melbourne is 17 hours, but if you can figure out a time on Thursday or Friday this week for a zoom meeting, I can help!

American hospitals seem to cope only because the overseas nurses who work in them have such a different attitude and work ethic to their homegrown nurses. Their own nurses are the personification of the "too posh to wash" school of thought, and they...

So after a few recent incidents that left our department with bullet holes in the windows, its been decided that management will review the safety aspects of the front of the ER. How do you protect staff who go outside to retrieve GSW patients? ...

The NMC restructured nurse training into branches to stop nurses going overseas. The current training does not allow you to work overseas, unless you complete the three other branches as well. I believe there are universities that will allow you to d...

Just an FYI folks, for those who are revalidating. The NMC recently contacted me to ask me to confirm that I was the one who took part in the Reflective Discussion for someone who was revalidating. So they ARE checking, don't even th...

I can help via zoom, I'm in Chicago so I'm 7 hours behind you, but I'm sure we can figure out a time! PM me if you need help, I'm actually off work ATM with a knee injury so I have a lot of free time!

I'm on US central time and can help via zoom or messenger.

So let me get this right. He is upset at the thought of having his sleep disturbed to feed the baby at night, but wants you to stay awake 24/7, working and then caring for the baby. Sounds like you have two babies, one is old enough to take...

About the same here. In the past two years over half the team left to travel, and we have had days where there are just one or two staff and the rest are travelers. We had problems recruiting before all this, mainly because of the slow onboardi...

How long did you work as a nurse for before taking on your Ambulance service job? Do you do any bank or agency shifts to keep your skills up?

I'm agreeing with Grumpy here, the re-registration process is very different to the revalidation, and it requires referees that know you. This is not what this thread is about. We are all expat nurses with CURRENT UK registration, who are able t...

The revalidation process is for nurses whose registration is current. It's different if it has lapsed. You will need to contact the NMC and ask them the process for reinstating your registration.

Hello David, I'm not sure if it's possible to revalidate if your registration has already lapsed, you would need to contact the NMC to enquire about that. But once they have approved you to revalidate, any of us here would be happy t...

Thank you folks, for keeping this thread going and being there for each other! We still have to play this game every three years, (and I've revalidated twice since this process started in 2016, thanks to you!), so this thread is just on a contin...

About half my team have left since the pandemic started. Instead of paying hazard pay and generally being nice to the staff they still have, managers chose to spend their money paying travel nurses $6k a week, while us folk who stayed don't even...
