If basic midwifery the 3 years course is someone first program and now proceed to post basic nursing of 1 and half years.
When filling the CGFNS form is it only the nursing certificate that will be submitted and will be evaluated? Also the issue of the CGFNS payment with credit card , can debit card be impoverished, as anyone successfully paid with a debit card in recent time?
Thanks

Both RM and RN should be evaluated in your case.
If you want to use post basic RN only, you should add a BNsc transcript.

jowhyte:
Well, from my own experience, all the applications that have got us successfully shortlisted for over 35 interviews are band 5 job roles as I can see you set up yours to band 4.

While searching for jobs, I don’t usually touch the search fields options other than just writing in search terms/words as “registered nurse” or “staff nurse” and just hit the yellow search button.

Then I will change the search results from the default to “GRADE” as this will make all the search results to be arranged sequentially according to the band levels and pay attention to only band 5 job vacancies.

Hope this helps?

People with BNsc get jobs easily, I oont know why

in my job search, I found out the UK had more opportunities for internationally educated mental health nurses. I do not know if jowhyte wife studied mental health nursing but I can see she has years of experience which gives her an edge too.

I have a certificate that says i attended training in mental health nursing for 1 month in a federal neuro psychiatric hospital in Nigeria here, will such certificate boost one's chances of getting job invites if I always present it?

[quote author=mbok post=123756323][/quote]No, I started job search for adult nursing in the UK in April of this year.

it depends on the job requirements. I have seen where it was specified in one of the vacancies I came across, not to apply for mental health nursing role, if you have already started your registration as an adult nurse on the NMC website. Just keep fine-tuning the personal statement after going through each job specification for each job advert

Thanks very much for your reply. I'm a newly qualified nurse. Please I heard that getting a job from the UK now as a nurse is extremely difficult, infact almost impossible now. How true is this?
Do you know a thing about Ireland too?

If you have BNSc you can go the mental health route path when doing CBT. ie register as Mental health nurse with NMC and do mental health CBT.

Can a person with RN and B.sc Biochemistry register as a mental health nurse and write the CBT?

I cant advise you on that. All the places I have read, its BNSC that they said. you too ask yourself how Biochemistry take concern nursing but I dont know sha, just sharing what I have read in different places.

Just to add too, if you have plenty cash to spare, why not go for the Post basic in mental health while also doing IELTS and CBT and try applying. But make I no lie you its very difficult getting Jobs. You need serious prayers and non stop application like your life depends on it.

I just confirmed from another UK registered nurse right now. She said it's possible to register as a mental health nurse now without a BNsc. All you need to do is to register from your first registration as a mental health nurse without your BNsc. Then write the CBT and OSCE for mental health nurses instead of adult nursing. Yes you can do that with just your RN

Thank you for responding.

Good morning friends, please I want to know how long will it take someone who has passed both NCLEX and IELTS to complete her migration process to US, the person is under WESTWAYS agency. Thank you.

UPDATE guys!

Visa approved after two 2 weeks of application and received by DHL in Benin city about 3 - 4 days after a decision for the approval was reached.

I decided to share our story here how it started to encourage others who may be having some discouragement with unsuccessful emails. We had plenty of it but I just developed a tough skin and kept on firing in tons of applications from all angle until we got this and also expecting favorable decision with others currently pending.

My advice is keep sending in tons of applications and Always follow up on them especially interview outcomes and feedback. Ask questions why your applications are not being considered and use the feedback to adjust accordingly.

I can now focus fully on my other career/biz endeavors because this shit really took a toll on me as I was hitting for at least 100 - 200 targeted applications weekly.

Best of luck!

I don’t really think it is because of Bachelor in Nursing because Diploma too are getting.

I think adult nursing is becoming more competitive unlike mental health.

Again well crafted supporting information is a game changer to get interview invite and how you deliver your interview too is also a factor especially for big Hospitals or Healthcare organizations.

Wifey studied nursing and our job applications where mostly made for Nursing related roles.

Truth, IE mental health nurses job related roles is now currently a thing and having more job vacancy than nursing related roles.

I think it’s because you have less people going to study mental health before now unlike general nursing with higher numbers. People are now recognizing that mental health is now a medical conditions that need attention now.

People don’t need to roam around the streets mad before you know they have mental health related conditions right now and as such the demand while the it’s workforce seems fewer compared to general nursing.

This means fewer people applying as mental health nurse and more people applying for adults nursing job roles. The fewer the numbers of applicants, the higher the chances of getting the job vice versa.In summary, it’s simply a demand and supply thingy.

In our over 35 job interviews, we had more than 10 interviews for mental health related roles. She was able to answer all of the general nursing and scenario questions well but had some challenges with some deep mental health question like mental patients that would not want to come back after given some time to go home or something.

This with any other type of trainings and skills you may have acquired helps. Just add it up no matter how many and irrelevant you think they might be. This adds up and it helps.

Because job applications are now being reviewed and scored base on points before interview invitation is sent out.

It doesn’t have to be BNSc alone. Diploma are getting it and using same route of doing mental health CBT and they are geting jobs too.

Jobs are now getting competitive because of the numbers of applicants and this is now making job applications review score to be higher to get a chance.

How well you craft your application and tailor your supporting statement is now very important. Same thing goes with how you demonstrate you work experience.

Gone are the Covid-19 days IEN where landing jobs on a platter.

A wife friend who caught her do a remote interview secretly in one of the empty wards later ambushed her telling her to show her how she is getting tons of interviews.

Wifey just have to plead that I should help her.

It’s been barely a month and some days, she has had 5 interviews already, 2 done and 3 yet to be done.

This is someone that was having difficulty even getting interviews invite.

Its only competitive in UK. and they actually pay change compared to other countries. Spread your wings

Wonderful job you did there for your wife, bro. I think I need to help my wife too for the UK work route even though we’ve been so fixated on Canada EE/PNP. This might just be a starting point as it doesn’t involve expenses.

Can I send a private message? i’d be grateful to learn all that you did to help her land interview invites. Thanks

with the current retrogression it is difficult to say really

Yes truth, the competitiveness seems only a uk thingy and their remuneration is very poor when compared with other countries but UK visa process and relocation seems easier, clear, straightforward and more seamless unlike other countries.

Just imagine what NOVA SCOTIA is currently doing, the process and job sponsorship is kinda complex and not as seamless as that of the UK. Too many unnecessary requirements unlike the UK.

How people are getting sponsored healthcare jobs in large numbers for other countries like the UK directly from Nigeria?

Talk about the relocation cost reimbursement, OSCE registration and other professional trainings and all.

Wifey is yet to get there and they have already booked OSCE for her ahead. Other countries need to make their process easier and remove some unnecessary bottlenecks in the process.

Many people are using the UK process to get in first before deciding to move to other destinations like Western countries.

Yeah, we have also been been trying out USA and CA too, we currently have an offer from USA staffing agency but the process is taking long.

Same thing for the CA. It’s no brainer going the UK route at this stage especially when part/most of the expenses will be reimbursed later.

Sure you can send a message.
