Hi! Im Ryan, a filipino who just arrived here in Uk last month. I got ur email in allnurses and I will be taking up my OSCE soon. The exam is getting into my nerves already and I hope you can share some insights about the exam. I hope and wish you can help me send some thru my email, [email protected] Thank you so much!

Yes, I had that one before... The problem with the NMC is they dont have any suggestions how to solve it but I found one by myself... The main cause is the FILE SIZE... Try to save the file in a smaller size by converting it to other file type such as .pdf, .jpeg or etc... Try to compare what is the smallest and use it to attached on your account. =)

That happens if you made use and submit same forms (forms with same heading or bar/Q codes) to 2 or more different offices (employer/ schools, etc). For example, if you have 3 hospital employers (2 from the previous years and 1 currently) and you sent them the forms to be filled up, you will be using the same forms with same heading and same bar/Q codes, then it will appear as RESUBMISSION in your NMC account.... in other words, do not worry about it. =)

send me a PM of your email address or maybe FB...

Absolutely, your friend can use the IELTS-UKVI-Academic fro CBT... Based on my experience, I took it in British Council... If I were you, visit UK visa website and search for English requirement for visa application since there are only designated IELTS provider that can only administer UKVI type. Ask first the IDP if ever they offer it because Im not sure.

Are yo under the Assessment Stage? Did you already sent all necessary requirements? If No, then you need to comply to their requirements. if Yes, then you are just waiting for your applciation to be placed on Assessment Queue. It is usually placed on queue after 10-15 days they scanned and uploaded your documents. If you know your assessment queues date, you need to wait for 40-70 WORKING days (not calendar days). But for some, like me, it only takes a short time. It usually depend on the handler of your case. =)

You need to take the IELTS-UKVI (Academic), the minimum score for visa application is 4.5 in all areas. This was implemented since November 2015 only... Good luck and God bless!

I just got my DL last monday Jan 11 after 5 working days of waiting. so fast. =)

It is just a warning but nothing to worry about it. =)

No need to worry about that since its normal. It usually appears if there is 2 documents that they received having same bar code. An example of this is the employment reference formS. We are usally asked to submit two references thus it shows RESUBMISSION. =)

God bless you guys! We know you can do it! =)

We will pray for you, my dear colleague. =)

You can buy the hardcopy or e-book thru amazon. The hardcopy will take time since it will be sent thru mail. But if you dont have enough time, you can just purchase the e-book.

I dont think so that NMC will provide a pass certificate (paper-based) for NMC PART 1 (CBT). But the results will be posted on your NMC account and you will also receive an email regarding your passing. Regarding the decision letter, it will only be release if you already done with the Full Assessment stage wherein you are required to comply necessary documentations.

based on my experience, the COS must be reserved under your name after you are interviews by the employer. If you are waiting for it in addition to the waiting period from your DL, then you can seek other employers since there are other better employers who have enough COS. Many will entertain you if you have DL already. Agencies especially the Philippines are just interviewing many applicants regardless of the number of COS since no all will be obtaining their DL at the same time. It is a matter of time, of who will be able to submit all necessary documents to NMC and obtain their DL first.

The CBT exam is quite easy. Just read the important links from the blueprint but never read the entire list because its time consuming. the exam is stressful because of the blueprint which is overwhelming but the actual exam is pretty easy to pass. The Royal Marsden Manual is very helpful. Yo will surely pass it.

NMC said to wait for 10-15 WORKING days for them to scan it.

Are there anyone here that was requested by NMC to submit additional documents( such as records showing clock hours instead of credit units)? Did you already got your DL? How long is the waiting time after you submitted the additional documents?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Hi hiantaw, You need a Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) so you can get a visa to UK to take the OSCE.

Hi Ms KeeptheFaith30. Would you mind exchanging emails since I read your post and I found out that we have the same employer. Do you know Ms. *******?

Im quite bothered with delays in UK since there is only 20,000 CoS allotted per year and that is distributed in different hospitals regardless its NHS or private ones. Ad of now the new immigration rules that affects nurses is, we must reached the salary of least 35,000 pounds per year so we can apply for permanent residency and citizenship after 5-6 years. That is one of the requirement to obtain that migration status. However, the dilemma is the 35k salary per year (from a single employer, not included the part time jobs) is for nurses under salary grade band of 7 and above. If ever you can not reach that salary grade of 35k, you need to leave UK and go back home. I would like to know what does your employer told you about these rules. Are there any solutions offered aside from the legislative amendments that are being pursued by some nursing officials in UK which seems to be uncertain.

Im also at the assessment stage. Do u mind to exchange emails so we can communicate well?
