How much does the program cost?

I don’t have an idea, but some employers sponsor this. If your employer can’t sponsor you, you can use your money


What other exams are needed to be written in uk before you will be allowed to practice full time

OSCE - practical aspect, where manipulative skills will be checked. Employers do train new employees for this anyway.

My mum also wants to relocate to UK, I just need to know the range of how much you spent total?

1. IELTSUKVI - 98k

2. CBT - 55k (this is because someone helped me to pay, candidates can now pay from their Nigeria bank account and it’s now cheaper - around 34k or so, not very sure)

3. NMC UK registration - around 65k

4. Transcript from my nursing school and courier service

5. Sending of documents to nmc UK

6. NMCN verification- 70k (it’s that high because someone helped me to monitor it, though I still waited than necessary. THE REAL PRICE IS 53,500)


NB - I had to travel and lodge for both exams, because they do not have centers where I live.

Stories like this give me a very high hope of leaving this country to better my life. I'm in year 4 currently

God’s guidance is what we need.

I fought this for years, but had to be convinced this is what I want and NEED atm.

DON’T DO THINGS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS DOING IT.

We want different things in life.

Wish you the very best.

Congratulations Ma.
Can i get some advice from nurse professionals here?
I have an intention to go back and study nursing, this is after 4 years of graduating with bsc biochemistry from uniport. However, right now i am confused as i don't know if it is much better enrolling to school of Nursing or the University. The fear of ASUU strike scares me from choosing the latter as i am in my late twenties and i wouldn't want to spend extra years. Studying abroad is no bread and butter as it involves much financial commitment which i can't afford. If not, that option would have been the best for me. I want to know if obtaining RN after 3 years at SON guarantees one of getting a job outside Nigeria.

All you need to secure a job abroad is your RN certificate which you can get from school of nursing.
When you get abroad, you can do a top-up program of one year and get your degree.

I used my RN certificate only despite all my other qualifications.

bremo:
You have taken a very good decision, not for yourself alone but for your children also. I will advice you make adequate arrangement to get your family to join you as soon as you can. It is always not too good when you are separated from your children especially when they are still very young. It takes a toll on your relationship with them and even your husband. Congratulations once more.

That’s my plan, but that will be after I pass my exam over there.

Thanks so much

Thank you very much

Hello travellanders,

I am a nurse in Nigeria.

I never planned relocating, but I wouldn’t want to bore us with my reasons for changing my mind. HOWEVER, THE MAJOR REASON IS MY CHILDREN’S FUTURE.

I became a nurse 15 years ago and majority of my mates are out of our dear country.

I have five (5) nursing diploma certificates, BNSc and MSc Nursing. Infact, I’ve started my Ph.D in Nursing Science (I’m suspending it anyway as I don’t know my bearing yet)

I have a fairly good job and my salary is a little above 200k.

A lot of my friends have encouraged me to relocate and work in Europe, but I had so much hope in Nigeria and was ‘team vacation’

My story changed August, this year.

So, I called a friend who relocated to the UK 14 years ago. She explained the process of relocating as a nurse to 5 different countries to me.

After discussion with my husband, parents and siblings, we decided that I should try that of UK.

I registered for IELTS and CBT that August and passed.
Then, started the process on the nmc UK portal.
I googled for an employer, got an agency, did interview and got the job.
I paid the required fee.

My employer asked me to resume November, but I told them I wasn’t ready as everything happened so fast, and my decision letter wasn’t ready then. So, I used that as an excuse, although they felt disappointed. But I need more bonding with my kids as I won’t be traveling with them. They will have to join me after some months.

I’ve gotten my decision letter and visa now and will be moving before the end of January.

Why did I open this thread?
1. To learn from people that have done this in the past
2. To assist people going through the same process

I will answer questions concerning the process to the best of my ability and ask questions when I also need clarification (maybe when I want to start packing my bags)


IGNORE ALL ERRORS!!!
