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 : )
Just an FYI folks, for those who are revalidating.
The NMC recently contacted me to ask me to confirm that I was the one who took part in the Reflective Discussion for someone who was revalidating.
So they ARE checking, don't even think about falsifying or using someone's PIN without their knowledge!!
Keep all your papers together, and be able to scan and email them in to them if they ask. When they contact you, you have seven days to respond with the appropriate documentation, so be ready.
Maybe they are picking up on the fact that we are all in different parts of the world, and the nurse who signs for you is in a different location.
Of course its absolutely fine to do the whole process by zoom, but it seems to causing them concern. Just keep all your ducks in a row and you will be fine.
By chance are any of you in the greater Toronto area, Ontario, Canada? Wondering if someone would be willing to connect with me, for the reflective discussion I need to do as part of my NMC re-validation. If not in person, could we connect via zoom. The date for my re-validation is July 1st. A huge thanks everyone!
I am a ICU RN currently working in Australia (Melbourne ). If anyone is still out there in this thread and would like to review my refelctive discussion, I would be so grateful?

Thank you for your prompt reply. Since I have just joined the forum it will not let me send a PM - I'm working on it.
