I am a UK born citizen trained in Australia hence I am going via the overseas trained route. I passed my CBT test and am in the full application and assessment stage.
I am interested in sharing information with people who are also in this stage of the application.
I commenced my application in 2013 under the old process which was rejected due to lack of clinical hours. I received a letter from NMC advising me of the new process. Like many people on this forum, this entire process has been long, drawnout, frustrating and tedious for me!!!!!!!
I have a question about the police certificate. I'm from the USA and I'm not really sure how in depth they want this background check. I could get a clearance letter from my city police department, I could go through the state level, or I could go through the FBI and be finger printed. Do they really need us to go that extensive and be finger printed and everything? What have other people been doing?
State level should be sufficient. No matter which level you chose, you will be finger printed. On the FBi website, they have a list of certified vendors to go to in your local area....then the info is forwarded to FBI for checks. It takes like one week. Hope this helps.
Hey guys I just got off the phone with the NMC and according to whoever I spoke to there my application is now under the assessment queue. Thank God it's past the scanning queue. Now they said to wait another 30-90 days. Well I guess I just have to wait again some more (as if waiting to get to the assessment queue wasn't agonizing enough). For reference purposes, all of my documents reached the NMC last March 6, so it takes approximately a month for them to finish scanning *apparently.
I like most of you applied under the old system and have had to switch due to clinical hours.
I called them Nmc after passing my cbt the other day and they said that some documents would be able to be switched over to the new system like school transcript and such..
Anyone had ANY Luck with that? As it wasn't easy to obtain?
I'm currently trying to submit my online application and having an issue with the work experience part. I have only worked in one hospital and in one unit, both of references are from there. However, the NMC application doesn't let me submit unless I write two employer references (MOST RECENT, and OTHER) but I don't have an "other" options. Anyone have recommendations on how I should go about filling that out?
To all the Filipinos here who are done with the assessment stage, can you recommend a facility with a registered GP who can fill-up the declaration of good health? Thanks!
I just rang the NMC yesterday and they told me that the documents I sent in with my old process application can be transferred to the new process. Am I being a fool to believe this and should I just start sending the forms back to my Uni, employers etc to be filled out AGAIN.
I feel everyones frustration, keep your heads up, we'll get there! :)
