Hello Everyone, I finished my ONP last April'13 and the declaration of good health and character has been sent to the NMC on the 24th of the same month. I already have accommodation and job lined up, the indicated start date of my new job would be on the 30th of June. I was informed by the NMC agent when I rang them, that I will get my decision letter as to whether I am accepted to the register,in 7-10 days. Today is the 10th day, so I rang them and the man told me I have to wait for 3-6 months for my pin to arrive. This is terrible, based on the news from the NMC, they have added more staff to deal with the backlog, 3-6 months is such a long wait. I am so stressed right now. I am suppose to go to my home country and lodge for my work visa this first week of June assuming that my pin is already sorted. I am on a student visa and due to finish end of June'13. I need your advice so I can perhaps relax and stay calm and not be panicky re: the situation where I am presently at. I have been reading all the topics +responses on this site and they are all full of information and the members are very supportive of each one. Thank you in advance. Edsie
