UK Nurse Registration Full Application and Assessment stage before OSCE

Published

Hi People

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!!!!!!!

Hi has anyone tried to call NMC hotlines to follow-up their application in the past few weeks? I can't contact their hotlines! What numbers did you use to call them? (Philippines)

0044 020 7333 6600

I think we need to remove the zero 004420 when calling using a mobile phone. Anyway thank you very much!

It's DHL then hehe :cat:...thanks:woot:

Anyone had this happen?

I had my application assessed back in September- and further additional documents were requested. The NMC received these, but someone at the NMC, re-submitted my application online, and now all old correspondence has disappeared, and they are saying wait 70 days again. Why is this?! I just sent them my further requested documents, it isn't a new application.

Now I'm afraid they will think my police certs, refs, etc, are out of date. And should I have to wait 70 days again? Thanks

Saw one post from the other forum regarding where to have practice test for cbt - she gave that link- anyone who wants to try might do so Dougherty: The Royal Marsden Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures Student Edition 9e

Please help me with this. What additional requirement do I need to send. Should the follow-up document be sent thru courier or email?

"We require an official Transcript of training from your university provided in clock hours for both clinical and theoretical components.You have only provided the RLE hours, theory is mentioned only in units. If your university can provide a key for converting units to hours please provide that with a blank Form to accompany transcript of training downloaded from your portal."

Hi guys.

Does,anyone here have concerns regarding the nmc downloaded forms?will it be all right if i would write some characters outside the designated boxes?nmc forms have only provided about 21boxes per info...and my referee's name, address and office name is too long,more than 30 characters/letters.

Yes No problem writing outside the box

Thank you so much. :up:

The NMC overseas handbook states hours both clinical and theory however your school needs to convert from credits to hours

Yup.. The current overseas booklet from the nmc website only stated the number needed for clinical practice which is 500 hours. Do u know how many hours is required for theoretical? :-) thank you!
