  1. Avoid the UK

    Jhurlow posted a topic in United Kingdom

    nternationally trained nurses may want to consider avoiding the UK unless you are desperate, have special connections, or long for a uniquely frustrating experience. The people of the UK are...

  3. Avoid the UK

    Jhurlow replied to Jhurlow's topic in United Kingdom

    Please consider submitting your thoughts about the UK NMC at the link below. Parliament is examining the ongoing nursing shortage in the UK. Perhaps you can make a difference for UK nursing and for...

    Jhurlow replied to Jhurlow's topic in United Kingdom

    Hi Phil It sounds like my post upset you. Im sorry. Didn't mean to Firstly I'm happy to forward to you the email I received from the Professional Standards Authority 6 days ago stating 'the NMC is...

  5. Avoid the UK

    Jhurlow replied to Jhurlow's topic in United Kingdom

    i'm happy your challenges were relatively straight forward and are now resolved. California is a lovely state. Re UK Funding: The NMC chief executive just gave herself huge pay raise yet, as you...

  6. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    Jhurlow replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    I want everyone in this chain and any other well trained international nurses that I have climbed the full ladder on this issue. I have directly communicated with my MP (currently an influential...

  7. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    Jhurlow replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    -------------, MPs and the Dept of Health have both told me that the NMC is an independently functioning agency. There are no Lobbies in the UK. They all have told me that the best initial option...

  8. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    Jhurlow replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    As you likely have seen, there are several complaints posted about the UK NMC processes, including their OSCE. In March of this year I filed a Level 3 complaint with the NMC which included very...

  9. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    Jhurlow replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    I am now learning that UK NMC processes are a bit of a scam. I tested at Northampton. A UK trained nurse who took the exam with me told me that the preparation documents on the NILE website are...

  10. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    Jhurlow replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    Did you have any luck with your appeal. I've complained to the NMC, the UK Department of Health, and to the Professional Standards Authority (they apparently have some NMC oversight) yet receiving...

  11. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    Jhurlow replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    I have now filed two complaints with the NMC about this OSCE exam. Their responses sound scripted and cryptic. They will not respond directly to my concerns. Their guidance documents were not...

  12. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    Jhurlow replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    I agree 100% with your comments about the demands and ridiculous redundancy. Did you ever get any where with you complaints? Ive found that talking to the NNC is like talking to a recorded

  13. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    Jhurlow replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    NMC OSCE testing was disjointed and not consistent with national guidelines. I'm not sure that safety is their testing goal. The NMC spends the bulk of their time and government monies disciplining...

  14. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    Jhurlow replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    I have made my voice heard to my local MP, to the Ministry of Health (Jeremy Hunt) and to the Professional Practice Authority. No one responds with anything helpful. They all say there is nothing they...

  15. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    Jhurlow replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    Filing a complaint is like trying to have a discussion with a voice recording. The NMC has no significant oversight here in the UK. They are their own reality. But don't let me discourage you. Maybe...

  16. Are you angry about the NMC OSCE???

    Jhurlow replied to WrigleyRN's topic in International Nursing

    As hard as it is to pass the OSCE, one would think that only the most awesome nurses would be produced. But the fact is that the NMC spends most of its money disciplining the nurses they approve. I...

  18. too much experience to work in UK

    Jhurlow replied to Jhurlow's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for your response. I am more saddened by the fact that my road block to practice has nothing to do with my skills as a nurse. Further, if immigration is separate from the nursing body, as is...
