The NMC states "When you apply you must have been practising as a registered nurse or midwife for at least 12 months (full-time or the part-time equivalent) after qualifying." They go on to say "If your application meets our minimum standards, you will have to undertake all or part of the Overseas Nurses Programme." The NMC regulates all nurses and midwives working in the UK. All their "minimum standards" are listed in the booklet I have mentioned before. The NMC continues "The employment climate in the UK is very changeable. We cannot help you find a job..." In other words, even for nurses or midwives registered with the NMC there is no guarantee of a job. The UK Border Agency who issues work permits are also unlikely to do so unless, following advertising, no suitably qualified candidate resident in the UK can be found. www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk
Sorry if all this seems negative, but I don't make the rules, and I'm sure if anyone here on the forum knows anything different, they will tell you
