Yes Uk is more feasible. But the salary is around 25k pounds. With 4 kids and no nanny. Be ready to be house husband plus night shift worker o

Eaganguolly:


Thanks for the contribution. You mean I will stay behind to take care of the children and at the same time work at night? Well am a hard working person that I can cope. Meanwhile, our first child will be 12 in few years to come. Am just pained that she is not earning anything after spending much to train her. I even paid 300k for advance for job in federal teaching hospital since June yet no positive outcome at the moment.

More Contributions needed from the wider audience more especially from those that have experienced such

Nozino:



Your wife has all her needs to succeed. Considering that she has a bachelor’s degree in Nursing and not just RN from SON, I’d advice she focuses on the US. With her qualifications, she can get a job paying 100k+$ annually. She should try writing the Nclex exam( They don’t write it In Nigeria). There are numerous agencies that will sponsor her visa if she passes nclex and she and her family will get green card to America. Invite her to Nairaland. Let her go to the nursing thread and ask her colleagues about how to undergo the process.

Eaganguolly:


Thank very much. Do you know anything about the cost implication of the Nclex and counties it can be taken. Just want to have a clear view before venturing

Abubanty:
US pathway takes like a year but majorly you need nclex or so but for UK pathway see below. Also prices have change, you may have to get current price.

*STEP BY STEP PROCESS OF BECOMING A UKRN*

▪️Obtain your international passport

▪️ Write and pass IELTS Academic/OET before starting the process as it is presumed to be the most challenging of all (But you can still do it together with your verification or write while your verification is ongoing).

▫️IELTS Academic (about 85k)- Minimum Of Listening-7.0, Writing- 6.5, Reading- 7.0, Speaking- 7.0 and Overall - 7.0 .
▫️ Occupation English Test (OET, it is about 586 Australian Dollar) - Minimum of Reading - B, Writing - C+, Listening - B, Speaking- B.

You can combine the English results, see how here: https://www.nmc.org.uk/registration/joining-the-register/english-language-requirements/accepted-tests/

▪️Open an account to register with NMC UK (the first stage of verification) . Register as a registered Nurse Adult/Mental Health/Midwife (as the case may be).

To start registration on nmc uk portal, note that your last Name is your surname (e.g Fadeyi) and your first name must be your 2 other names (e.g Bako Tolani). Start the process here:

https://online.nmc-uk.org/overseas/assessment/start?route=1

You will be required to upload your certificate and/or notification and also your international passport. For any disparity in your names due to marriage or any other thing, have a Certificate or affidavit to back your name change.

The account is where you will monitor your nmc process from start to end of your UK nursing career.
You can log in to your nmc uk account here:
https://online.nmc-uk.org/Account/Login

▪️Pay £140 (you can pay directly yourself with a domiciliary card or any card other than regular Nigeria Debit cards).


After the NMC UK £140 payment you can begin your Nigeria Verification through this link:

https://portal.nmcn.gov.ng/verification_requests/start

Then you will pay N23,874.38 with your Nigeria ATM card and follow further instructions.

A link will be sent to your mail after making the payment so that you can begin your nmcn verification process.
You will be asked details of your professional qualifications and will also upload the front and back of your current practising license (please make it 1 single pdf page)


Before starting your NMCN verification ensure your NMCN profile is updated or register on this link below to se it up before proceeding to verification to avoid unusual delay in your verification;

https://licence.nmcn.gov.ng/Account


▪️Wait to be verified and get an authorization to test email from Pearson (the organization that handles the CBT exam) to book CBT.
Book the CBT with £83 and ensure you choose Full Exam (Part A: Numeracy and Part B: Clinical) and write the exam.

You can buy a voucher for this on https://www.mindhub.co.uk/

You will get a voucher code within 3 hours which you can input when you get to the payment stage of your CBT booking on Pearsonvue site. You can schedule your exam wherever and wherever you want within the validity of your voucher (one year).


After passing your CBT����

▪️complete your NMC UK registration which includes an upload of name of medical regulator, police clearance, and IELTS(academics)/OET result (without this, you can't progress beyond this stage).

▪️Pay the final registration fee of £153 to NMC UK.


▪️ You can start looking for a job at any stage but preferably, start searching for jobs after you must have passed CBT and IELTS/OET. You can either get an agent or apply directly on nhs.jobs, trac.jobs and other verified UK job portals.

You can also search for trusts online and send direct emails to them to show your interest or fill their international recruitment form or application.


▪️After getting an offer you are comfortable with (the "comfortable with" is very important), sign the offer letter and send your documents to the trust. Note that when you apply directly, you might have to fund your visa and ticket yourself while you get a refund on getting to the UK (this isn't always the case though), agents on the other hand pay for these upfront. Just ensure you read your offer letter well to know what the trust is offering. The choice is all yours to make at the end of the day. You might have to try both actually because getting offers isn't as easy as before.

▪️Wait for a Certificate of Sponsorship by the trust. It shows you have a sponsor that will support your stay in the UK. This COS also contains an employment start date. Ensure you don't have more than one trust processing this for you as it is quite expensive which makes it unfair for the trusts and it can cause problems for you with the home office.

▪️ Discuss with the trust and book your visa and subsequently, your ticket. You need a valid tuberculosis test (about #59,000 with 6 months validity) and police clearance (ranging from #2,000-#10,000 depending on location, cheapest price can be gotten at Alagbon police station in Lagos, it has 3 months validity) at this point.

▪️The final stage is writing your OSCE (This can only be done in the UK). You will get your pin (license) to practice on passing this. Most trusts train nurses for this exam, ensure you check your offer letter well and clarify this.

P.S- You will get to the UK as a pre-registration nurse and will be placed on salary band 3-4 (depending on trust). On passing your OSCE, you'll automatically become a band 5 nurse.

Eaganguolly:


Thank you very much. Your explanation is well detail. I think UK is a bit easier and might be faster.

Luchiano54:
UK would have been the easiest for her but as it stands now, it's been quite difficult for Nigerian Nurses to get jobs because of the "red list" factor. I know this because I have friends and colleagues who have passed their exams but have not been able to get even one interview slot despite numerous applications.
Nonetheless, she can still try as peoples experiences differ. There are still some Nigerian Nurses that are lucky.

A second option is for her to register as a Midwife and not RN. This is because more Nigerian Nurses are getting job offers and sponsorship as Midwives. For now, that route never cast.

As for the USA,the timeline for someone that resides Nigeria is minimum of 18 months. Someone has already sent you a link for USA pathway. Go check it out.

Your wife should make YouTube her friend. There are lots of videos there for nurses who want to migrate to the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Germany.

Thank you. She has started the process. About to write IELTS once passport is out. She will try both though the plan is to go to USA through UK. She will register as a midwife or any other that will assist her in getting job in the UK while still in Nigeria
