working as a Nurse in UK

[marksroomspain]

hi marksroomspain. thanks for reply. yes she has passed the IELTS and a few years experienc in a govt hosp in the Phils. im wondering if her Phils degree and work experience will be recognised by the NMC in the UK. I understand they make you do a final year of a uk nursing degree course if they dont recognise it. could be expensive!

Hi there I forgot to mention the ONP but as far as your future wife is concerned her degree is recognised by the NMC and as long as she has at least 12 months practice in the Phils wish she has then a further year study here is not needed.

The reason I know so much about this is because my wife here in the UK is a Phils trained nurse and she is going through the procedure now of IELTS along with registration to NMC and then ONP.

Hope this helps and good luck...

thats good news. thanks for your reply, it is very useful. ive been trying to find out about onp. is it just a course you enrol for 20 days and then you can apply for jobs? or do you have to be working as a nurse to do it? i read that she may have to do supervised work for 6 months after that? but if she cant get a job as a nurse straight away how does she get the supervised work experience?
good luck to you and your wife in NMC registration.

ONP is a 3 to 6 months course in a University and not all universities offers this course. Once ONP being completed the NMC will then give her PIN number. The application for registration would range from 3-6months to 1 year.
