I want to relocate to the UK and have applied for the readmission to NMC part 1 adult nurse registration which has been lapsed for eight years.
I submitted all required documents and references except the one from an NMC registrant. I wrote twice to the NMC explaining I have been working as a nurse in Hong Kong for more than ten years and difficult to find a UK nurse here to be my referee. But it just answered that is the ONLY way to get back to the registration.
Are there any nurses working overseas in the same boat and how we can actually do? There’s just one month left for this application. If I can’t submit the reference by the due date I have to reapply and pay again! Anyone out there can help? ???
Yes I think I will have to do this language test as well if I apply for a readmission with NMC, that's why I think the return to practice course is the simplest way to get my pin number back soon. And this course will help me to update and learn the practices in UK, as every country have got their own way to practice cares, standarts... They said it's for all nurse whose got their pin number lapsed for any reasons. They ensure to have a position in the hospital when the training has been done. I'll see if depending to my case I'm shortlisted as I'm still doing nursing in France as well, I also let a message on the topic that skylark recommends you. The futur is so uncertain with the pandemic, UK apparently is lockdown for at least 3 weeks which makes things complicated for recruitment process, hope it'll over soon as you said.
Hope you a big courage and good luck with your parients. Take care of yourself, colleagues and your loved ones.
