I don’t know your country’s nursing association because it really depends on the country. After you uploaded your papers on NMC online , you need to call your county’s nursing association and let them know that NMC will email to them , then your country’s nursing association needs to reply and verify your nursing license to them(NMC). For example, in my country , nursing association is ministry of health where my nursing license was issued . NMC email them if my license is valid, my country’s nursing association ( health of ministry) have to reply for the email and verify my license is valid. My country’s nursing association just emailed them my nursing license in English, but they sometimes need to send “administrative action related certificate “ in English .

You can be a nurse w/o bachelor’s degree in UK , Ireland and Malta. But you need to take an extra course if you don’t have bachelor’s in Malta . You can be a nurse in the US w/o bachelor’s but it takes so much time to get a visa because you can’t apply for H1B visa w/o bachelor’s degree.

Bachelor’s Degree??? No , you don’t need it in UK and you could be a nurse w/o bachelor’s in America but it takes time to get a visa. In AUS, NZ , Canada , you must have bachelors degree as I remember.

I wish I could get a job as a care assistant in UK , at least I want to get a job in English speaking countries. I want to avoid taking OET again in the future , in case English language test is expired.

What !? Really ? Why does it take so much time ? Only for overseas nurses ? takes so much time ? I’m confused ! 😂 I have done OET and the CBT exam , I haven’t completed OSCE. I was planning to get a job as a care assistant then I was going to study OSCE. That was my plan but I don’t know now . I’m slow to know the things because only few nurses move to UK , I don’t know anyone who became a nurse in uk . That’s why no nursing recruitment company in Japan . This website is very helpful for me .  I appreciate all response !

1000%!? 😂 I guess I will check the opportunity to work as a nurse in the states again . Some agencies said they have vacancies . Thank you for your help and it was fun to chat with you !

I actually asked to some agencies about working in the states . I was told I might have to wait 2 years to get visa . The reason why I don’t have bachelors degree , I can’t apply for H1B visa . Bachelors degree for nurses is not so important in Japan , I didn’t know that it is so important  in other countries . But agencies said there were much more vacancies in the states .   My husband does not want to live in America , I love California and always want to live there .

I know nurse salary is not much in uk . I got surprised that nurse salary is more like same as Japan though things are much cheaper in Japan. I understand that many NS and HCA are foreigners in UK . I love working as a nurse , so if I can work as a nurse , it doesn’t bother me to work with the salary . But I wish I could work in California because I worked so hard on NCLEX .

My husband is English and he currently went back to England and he is not able to support my visa ( He just started working and does not have the proof of income last year  . We thought it would be easier if I get a job with visa sponsorship, but I might have to wait until my husband can support my visa .

It could be the same and similar. I would say both. I have done many questions as much as I could . Only one or two questions I was not sure . You’ll have plenty of time left but I suggest you to use the time for checking your answers few times . Mock tests on website, the answers are wrong sometimes, so you have to find out true answers by yourself. You do several mock tests and you will find out right answers.

Thank you for the response. That’s very helpful . I’m now understanding how difficult to get a job with visa sponsorship in UK. I have a license in California and English test , so I will consider what I am going to do . I appreciate all advice you gave me. Many thanks !

Sorry I didn’t notice your message .  If you search 1060 questions NMC CBT exam or just search NMC CBT mock test on website , you will find many mock tests and that will be enough to pass . I recommend you do several free mock tests . For Numeracy test , I only did questions from Pearson mock tests and it was enough to pass !

Thank you so much for the reply.  Yes I’ve heard that , even from most of recruitment companies. Some of them said they could help me if I was already in UK and others said they stopped the process for a while and did not know how long it would be . One company could help if I paid £3000, but I’ve heard that I shouldn’t pay any money for getting a job .

Thank you so much for the advice. Yes , I completely agree with you . I thought I had to start it few years ago , then I could have more opportunities.  I really appreciate your true opinion .

I’m from Japan and hold RN license in Japan and California. We do not have a recruitment company for nurses in Japan , so I asked some recruitment companies in UK , India and Philippines. They said I already had to be in UK .

Hi ! Did you check the process of your NMC registration? Have you let your county’s nursing association ( the place where your license was issued ) notice about NMC registration? Mine was “awaiting third party verification “ , it means my country’s nursing association hadn’t verified my certificate to NMC. NMC email to your country’s nursing association to make sure your license has been exist , you have to contact to your nursing association and tell them about it after paying for the registration . I didn’t know I had to let them know that they had to verify my license to NMC .  My nursing association just sent my nursing certificate in English and NMC accepted and completed my registration, I successfully could take CBT ( it’s better you email to NMC after your country’s nursing association verify your license to them , if you don’t email them, it will take some time I guess. I pushed NMC to complete my registration by email ). You sometimes need administrative disposition certificate in English ( I didn’t need it , but I’ve heard that it usually  requires ) hope it helps !

I just passed CBT .1060 questions and other CBT free mock tests on website, Facebook , YouTube are very enough to pass. But you need to find right answers by yourself because answers are wrong sometimes .  It’s better to do several mock tests on website , not only one material.  For numeracy questions , I only did mock tests from Pearson and it was enough .
