GM @crushsugar and everyone in the house. I messaged you ma using NL mail and of course you responded, even faster than I would have imagined. I'm sorry for my late response also. I figured you must have been busy since you haven't responded again so I thought of simply laying my Q's here.

I'm a 100level student of medicine and surgery and I'm currently writing my second semester exams. I'd be transiting next session to the college of medicine.

During my days as a jambito, I read many threads on the PLAB and USMLE experience of many erudite minds here on NL and after much thinking, counsel and research, I decided to follow the USMLE route.

As medical practitioners that have sailed outta the country and successfully while also doing well for yourselves, I'd need you to shed light on the following:

-how's the best way to prepare for the exam? Are there past questions or question banks or something of such that is needed just like UTME?

-how can one ace the visa issuance stage for the J1 visa(I'd need this to go write one of the exmas in the States) and eventually the visa needed for the immigration or wouldn't there be any issues?


Please house, anyone with adequate knowledge can respond and also with things you feel I need to know please. I'm planning on taking the step 1 exam in 400/500 levels though. I'm sorry for the length of my post.

Crushsugar, I read that the UK now accepts OET alongside IELTS. How true is this and would you suggest OET over IELTS?

Mastermindx:
Is the post basic nursing of 1 and half year compulsory after the 3yrs?

crushsugar:
Acceleration is not in Nigerian education system.
In fact one of the reasons I had to leave was that I needed to spend 4 years to get Bsc Nursing after doing school of nursing for 3 years and post basic nursing for 1½ years.
The quicker you can get would be Babcock university.
Lautech degree is fast but it is for registered Nurses.
You can either start from 200L Nursing or Do School of Nursing for 3years.

Nad95:
Hello, house. I'm a graduate of Human Physiology. Please how do I become a registered nurse and eventually get to practice in the UK? Are there any accelerated nursing programs I can enroll for from Nigeria?
I look forward to receiving your responses to my questions..
Thanks.

James150:

James150:
Sorry my qestions are getting too much.

crushsugar:
It is Christmas time in the city

James150:
But how much do they pay nurses there at d UK like those with diploma from Nigeria and the bsc how long will u get it and what's d fees

chukxy:
Hello crushsugar, being UK RN, what advantage will BSC Nursing Hons give you that your current UK RN will not give you? Also, will your employer sponsor this and how long will the program last? Are you able to do this program while working? Many thanks in anticipation.

Splendblex:
She is so nice...I want to be like you when I grow up @crushsugar

zeb04:
pls what is the name of the agency? I will like to mail them.

askossis:
@crushsugar pls which of the hospital in York do you work out of presently and is there any way i could get in touch with you personally pls?

Tinyemeka:
Hi @crushsugar, thanks for all the responses you've provided so far. Hope you've been enjoying your stay, work and all the processes of settling in?

I have some questions please.
- What kind of visa were you granted to come over and work?
- If your spouse had accompanied you, what kind of visa do you think he'd have been granted? Would that visa be sufficient for him to relocate and resume work there?
- I saw job vacancies similar to yours and the advertised work shift was from 7am - 8pm. Does that also apply to you?
- What advice would you give for a family with kids and both parents having to work? How do you think they could cope with the kids?

Would highly appreciate your response.

Warm regards.

Congrats on your achievement as a UK RN.

I will like to make an enquiry about working in UK as a nurse or midwife.
I recently just graduated and I have a Bsc Nursing degree but I don't have my license. I schooled in Ghana and the process of getting a Nigerian license is quite tasking.
According to the new NMC UK requirements, am I eligible to start the process without having a Nigerian license?

Also, my Friend is a registered midwife in Nigeria. Do they recruit midwives too?

NumeroUno7:
Nice thread, the UK is really neat, neater than USA in my oponion

Isaacpyo04:
