Abatemtem:


I do my job well when I'm on postings and I dint find anything wrong with laying beds for patients. I personally supervise bed pan rounds when I'm in duty.

1. IELTSUKVI - 98k

2. CBT - 55k (this is because someone helped me to pay, candidates can now pay from their Nigeria bank account and it’s now cheaper - around 34k or so, not very sure)

3. NMC UK registration - around 65k

4. Transcript from my nursing school and courier service

5. Sending of documents to nmc UK

6. NMCN verification- 70k (it’s that high because someone helped me to monitor it, though I still waited than necessary. THE REAL PRICE IS 53,500)


NB - I had to travel and lodge for both exams, because they do not have centers where I live.

Hi Cchimaa, I tried sending a mail via Nairaland as I didn’t see your email on your profile; probably you didn’t get it.

Hello travellanders,

I am a nurse in Nigeria.

I never planned relocating, but I wouldn’t want to bore us with my reasons for changing my mind. HOWEVER, THE MAJOR REASON IS MY CHILDREN’S FUTURE.

I became a nurse 15 years ago and majority of my mates are out of our dear country.

I have five (5) nursing diploma certificates, BNSc and MSc Nursing. Infact, I’ve started my Ph.D in Nursing Science (I’m suspending it anyway as I don’t know my bearing yet)

I have a fairly good job and my salary is a little above 200k.

A lot of my friends have encouraged me to relocate and work in Europe, but I had so much hope in Nigeria and was ‘team vacation’

My story changed August, this year.

So, I called a friend who relocated to the UK 14 years ago. She explained the process of relocating as a nurse to 5 different countries to me.

After discussion with my husband, parents and siblings, we decided that I should try that of UK.

I registered for IELTS and CBT that August and passed.
Then, started the process on the nmc UK portal.
I googled for an employer, got an agency, did interview and got the job.
I paid the required fee.

My employer asked me to resume November, but I told them I wasn’t ready as everything happened so fast, and my decision letter wasn’t ready then. So, I used that as an excuse, although they felt disappointed. But I need more bonding with my kids as I won’t be traveling with them. They will have to join me after some months.

I’ve gotten my decision letter and visa now and will be moving before the end of January.

Why did I open this thread?
1. To learn from people that have done this in the past
2. To assist people going through the same process

I will answer questions concerning the process to the best of my ability and ask questions when I also need clarification (maybe when I want to start packing my bags)


IGNORE ALL ERRORS!!!

Thanking you...

Thanks so much.

The preparation time depends on you.
I prepared for 3 days.
Some people prepared for weeks, some months.
The truth is the exam is very easy to pass.

They usually repeat questions. I saw exactly what I read.

The materials are online.

If you can’t get them, you can mail me, I shall forward them to you.

Stewart883:


I will try to discuss with her to know the full process. She had already begun the process before we started dating and later getting married (we met and married within a year tho)

Emmapio:
Congratulations on this great feat. It motivates me seeing women even with families pushing through their limits. Higher higher you go mama. Please I'll like to know more about the whole process involved and if possible get some ielt materials. Asking for my wife though. She has RN and one year work experience. Thank you and remain blessed.

OP it's bin a while, just checking on u amidst ds covid 19 crisis. God's protection upon us all.

Ufemia26:
Congratulations Ma.
Can i get some advice from nurse professionals here?
I have an intention to go back and study nursing, this is after 4 years of graduating with bsc biochemistry from uniport. However, right now i am confused as i don't know if it is much better enrolling to school of Nursing or the University. The fear of ASUU strike scares me from choosing the latter as i am in my late twenties and i wouldn't want to spend extra years. Studying abroad is no bread and butter as it involves much financial commitment which i can't afford. If not, that option would have been the best for me. I want to know if obtaining RN after 3 years at SON guarantees one of getting a job outside Nigeria.
