OK, so the rules have changed, and CPD is no longer enough.
I'm wondering about how to achieve the "reflective discussion" part when there are no UK registered nurses where I work.
So, all expat Brits, please let me know how you plan to maintain your NMC registration. Is anyone agreeable to contacting me, with a view to maybe planning an email/Skype discussion that we both can document?
I'm in Chicago btw, so if there are any other UK nurses here, we can meet in Panera instead : )
The UK have made it extremely difficult to get back onto the register which is why so many of us are holding onto registration and paying the yearly fee.
I think your best bet is to phone them and explain your situation. The nurses on this forum will help with revalidation but can not help with the UK online portal.

Thank you so much for your reply. I do feel the pain for all of us who has to go through this. I am really touched for your reply. I will keep on trying. Just need to get all my energy back. Thanks again
No, I am working in China. It's completely different health care system, I can't even get my foot in the door to even the exams to be qualified as a nurse in China.
Yes, I have contacted NMC countless time, I am worried they will block me one day, LOL. The answer I got back from them is, " your OSCE is due to 2023, we are not able to give any adivise how you going to achieve this or how to get here. So useful. Thanks for care tho.
I have registered with about 10 agencies, all of them require one year minium clinical experiences, (I only have 7 months), so they won't able to process my application to tick the box.
And even I try to do the re-admission, how can I explain my Gap years, as I can't work as a nurse in China, would that be OK to put volunteer in hospital during those years. Or they would not accept it?
I was registerd nurse in the UK back in 2014, and my NMC has lapsed in 2017. I live in China at the moment. I have applied re-admission, so far I have passed CBT, awaiting to get my OSCE done. I have facing few issues here, wonder if anyone would help out?
1. I have tried to apply job through NHS jobs and few agencies, so far none of hospitals have answered back. And few agencies stated that I need to have minium one year working experience, which I only have 7 months after qualified. So it doesn't seem to be very uplifting at moment.
2. I have also registered on COVID-19 temperatory registeration, the reply was as I am currently not reside in UK, so I am not eligibale to this
3. So I thought about taking the return back course, apparently I can't do it as you have to reside in UK as well.
4. So now I come back to re-admission requirement, counted all my practice hours before my PIN lapsed, I just realised that I do meet the requirement hours, so now I think maybe I will withdraw my pervious application and re-apply, however, my NMC online portal wouldn't let me do anything, I can't even withdraw my application.
Sorry for such long post, can anyone here help me out what option is there left for me, or should I just give up the idea of rejoin the practice.
I am hitting on the wall here, really wish someone here can point me out a direction please?
Many thanks to all.
Hi Yoko,
I would have suggested for you to go through oversea registration but you mentioned you stopped working when you moved to China. They all recommend one year nursing experience which is called Graduate year. I think your best bet will be to go onto ''back to practice course'' which means moving back to UK to achieve this.

Thanks for your reply. But I am not UK citizen, so it all come with either have chicken or have egg first, I can only return back to UK by working.
