Within 45-60 days according to some who already received their DL.

Thanks elajo! I got the same message from them as well. Thanks though!

Hi elajo, Accdg to their website, the deadline is on the 31st of January. The question is this: does it refer to the date they will be receiving our accomplished pack 2 or the date that all the documents are uploaded in their system. Usually, it take...

Hi wengtaps, PM sent.

Hi Lex, About the unregistered practice, I emailed SCHS several times but they said that they wouldn't issue such letter. A friend of mine also went to one of their branches to personally request one but nothing happened. According to NMC, they will ...

Thanks mate! Good thing my research has paid off. Is the road to citizenship rough? Once you're a Brit Citizen, can you also bring your parents there aside from your spouse and kids? Just wondering..

How about Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN)?

Are you sure you won't have to repeat the whole process? Because in the new scheme, you need to register online and make an NMC account, and then book for CBT. Once you passed it, that's the time you can download all the forms of NMC (I don't know if...

I read somewhere else that after 5 years, one can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. Then once approved, one can apply for citizenship after a year of obtaining an ILR.

I will be working in Surrey. I am just really interested to know how much I can save a month. I don't spend too much anyway.

To my understanding, we will only be allowed to function as a nurse only if we have PIN right. So that's another 3 months of not being paid and not working as a staff nurse. Why do they make it too complicated for us?

My bad. I meant rivers, not lakes. Thanks for the correction sky! I will start with the lowest band 5 pay which is 21,458 GBP. But since I have yet to be registered post ONP, I will start with a band 4 pay which is 18000+; that's about 1500 GBP mont...

Here comes the Brit Way!!! I think I will be in a flat shared to save bucks. My hospital will only let us stay in the free accommodation for a month. How much do you usually spend a month for everything so I have an idea?

Wow! I just checked online that my hospital is near TESCO. Thanks for the insight tho.

I am already waiting for my Pack 2. Hopefully, it'll arrive in two weeks. During ONP, I will be on band 4 as agreed in the contract. Were you affiliated with a hospital during your ONP (as HCA) or were you assigned in nursing homes cause I have read ...

Wow. You're a demigod! I heard many took it for more than 3 months. What's the secret to finish it in 3 months and not 6 months? Anyway, Is the duration of the ONP indicated in the decision letter? Once you finish ONP, will your salary increased aut...

I will buy a bike once I get there. The idea of living in a houseboat is unique. Just like in the movies. It could be fun. But I guess the area I will be assigned is not near to oceans/ lake,etc.. I'm sorry, what's with Aldi and Oyster card? Sorry...

I will be assigned somewhere near south of London so the hospital will give me the so-called Fringe High- Cost area supplemental allowance of only 5%. Given the location of the place, how much do you think is my monthly cost of living? Transport? Bil...

That's too bad cool planet. I hope you can make it. Anyway, how long did you undergo ONP?

Hi Silverdragon, Can you help me estimate my monthly take-home pay if I will be working in one of the fringe areas? Let's say I start with the lowest pay for band 5 which is 21,478. What is the estimated cost of housing, transportation, bills, tax, e...

@arya I have been busy also. When did you call NMC? I called them about a week ago. The line was so busy, I had to wait and then suddenly the call was dropped. It cost me about 200 php but I was not able to talk to anyone. When did you send your Pac...

Aside from the dates, did they specify the reason/s why I was allowed to practice in KSA even without registration? I think that's the most important thing that should be included. There is less than 6 mos gap but my agency told me to secure one beca...

@stylish gem Thanks for the info. I guess I need to provide clear instructions to my representative. Can you still remember what are the things written/ present on the forms? Thank You.

@coolplanet2003 Thanks. I also saw those links. I am just wondering if anyone has a first-hand experience so I'll know what to expect. Cheers!

@coolplanet2003 I envy you. In order to get a Saudi Police clearance for ex-Saudi nurse, you need to get a finger print card from NBI or PNP. The problem is that they ask too many requirements. After that, you need to ask a representative based in K...
