furble: The 3rd and final time I was put into the decision queue was 24 January, and I received my "assessment of application"/Decision letter on 10 April...mind you I was delayed by the NMC's audit of the Overseas Nurses applications in Feb-Mar. Als...

Just received my PIN today! The end has come! Good luck to anyone else going through this process. The NMC sure knows how to test your PATIENCE.

I completely understand your frustration!! I really hope something comes up soon for you, blueice. Is BU saying they don't have enough registrants to create a course for the ONP? That was the initial problem I was having. As for my status, I have re...

blueice: is Bournemouth too far for you to travel for the ONP? I believe it's only about 1.5 hours from London to get there by train and I'm under the assumption that they offer several dates for the ONP. Sarena: I'm not 100% sure on this....I do...

Sorry for the delayed response! I used to receive email notifications when someone responded to my posts, but I guess I have to update my settings or something... As for my experience so far... Was going to do the ONP at Bournemouth Uni, but the date...

Congrats blueice! I too recently received my letter for 20 days ONP study and did some calling around for the universities in London (only called City of London and one other) and both were about £1000+...but Bournemouth University offers it for £45...

Haven't even done my ONP, loz_newby!....Was thinking I would have at least gotten that out of the way by now, but not even..... :/ Anybody have any recommendations to HCA positions near South-Central London? I've only been to the NHS website...any ot...

Appreciate the tips, skylark! I was thinking about going to the NMC after they were delaying my application decision since Sept 2012. First they put me into the decision queue and then wanted my work references re-done, then it was my education hist...

Thanks for the responses!

yemachi....may I ask why you made the move to the States to practice nursing? Is the pay in the UK significantly lower than the States? How did you like having more autonomy? Just curious...thanks :)

I submitted the initial packet late March-early April and received the second packet mid to end of April. I was abroad for a whole month and am just now starting the process of the second packet. Hoping the process will be as painless as possible *...

ericjameshealth: If you haven't found your answer to everything that needs to be done after the IELTS, then read back a page or so on this thread, nolenurse wrote about their experience. Also, even if you have a 2 year contract with your hospital, y...

thanks Jbo! and yes, phew! No more NCLEX, please! :) good luck with your ONP.

ahh yes, I thought that the notarized photo copies were an option, but I guess I played it too safe, oops! Yay! mid-end April?! fantastic! How has the programme been? easy? not too difficult? Thanks for the swift response!

Also, one more clarification question....when finishing the ONP, what can one expect as far as tests/competency skills? Is there another kind of NCLEX? I've been having difficulty finding the answer to this.... thanks guys!

Nole Nurse: yikes!! What a headache you have been through! I am wishing good news for you soon! I am still in "phase 1" of my application process....already sat for the IELTS and now getting the birth certificate, RN license and passport copies to be...

Great, thank you. I hope receive nice Christmas news, then. Please keep in touch about everything. I actually wanted to PM this message to you, BabyRN, but I cannot figure out how...? Do you have to have a certain membership for that? Well, I wante...

Yes, I have heard the process will take a few months. Do you mind me asking when exactly you submitted your last application? I'm assuming this was the second part of the application you most recently submitted since you are waiting to hear if you a...

Newton, how are things going with the application process? Have you made it through to the "final round"? are you registered? Please share your experience. I am waiting to submit my first application in March 2012 and need all the information I can ...

Hey there UStoUKbritt and others! So are you saying you have still not become registered with the NMC? I am quite worried with all these responses in this thread...Let me give a quick run down of my situation... Like hi life__RN, I am also trying to...

Thank you again! That was very, very helpful. My fiance is an Italian citizen working in England right now. He (and his job) are pretty transitional, however. I can't express my gratitude for all the info. I am new to allnurses but am so impress...

Hi Kambav34 and others! Looking for as much info/help as possible!! Graduated May 2010; just got licensed, Jan 2011. No hospital experience (besides clinicals/practicum). I was originally looking into civilian work abroad but am now thinking joining...

Thank you ARMYICURN for the quick response. As for what I want to do GS side; (talking as one with no experience), I'll start with anything. I haven't found my "niche" yet, and will take any opportunity that comes my way. The only GN positions that ...

Hey there! I've been looking through a few "civilian nursing on military base" threads and am not finding the particular information I need (nor any info that was posted more recently than 5 years ago). Let me first apologize if my post is a bit le...
