wow, its been years since I last logged in here, I believe its almost 7 years now.
I have since then finished Nursing School, got a bachelors degree in Nursing and even acquired a masters degree.. Wheeww!!! Its been God all through and I am grateful for everyone on this platform who helped throughout and I am here to pay it back.

Currently, the Nigerian government has banned the recruitment of nurses to the UK. However, this ban is expected to be lifted soon, opening up opportunities for Nigerian nurses to pursue careers in the UK. To ensure you are ready when the ban is lifted, it is essential to understand the registration process. The following steps will guide you through the process of registering as a nurse in the UK, from checking your eligibility and completing the online application to passing the necessary exams and obtaining your visa. Prepare now to make your transition as smooth as possible.


Today I will give you a brief run through on how to migrate to UK as a Nigerian-trained Nurse.

1. To work as a nurse in the UK, you must have a nursing degree equivalent to the UK standards. This usually means having a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or associate degree(from nursing school).

2. You must meet the English language requirements. Any of the following will suffice:

International English Language Testing System (IELTS): You need an overall score of at least 7.0, with at least 7.0 in each of the four language skills (listening, reading, writing, and speaking).
Occupational English Test (OET): You need a grade B in each of the four language skills.

3. Registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and pay the necessary fees.
Check out a breakdown of the necessary fees here https://potsandpassports.com/how-to-be-a-uk-nurse-the-ultimate-guide-for-overseas-nurses-in-2024/ .

4. Document Verification: Document verification is a critical step in the NMC registration process for international nurses. This stage ensures that all submitted credentials, such as nursing qualifications, professional registration, and identification documents, are authentic and meet UK standards. You must arrange for your educational institutions and licensing bodies to send verified copies directly to the NMC.

4. Test of Competence (ToC): There are 2 tests you must pass before you can continue with your application with the NMC. This includes:

-Computer-Based Test (CBT)
-Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)

5. Final Registration: Once you have passed the ToC and your documents are verified, you will be added to the NMC register, allowing you to practice as a nurse in the UK.

Feel free to ask any question and I will reply you at my earliest convenience. Goodluck!!!

Imagine the table turns around.
If your wife treats her child from a previous relationship better than your how would you feel.

If she favors that child over yours, what’s the nearest possible assumption?
Men just love bringing up unnecessary issues.

This is why I can never have anything to do with a single father.
I just can’t deal

OP it’s very easy to highlight the wrong others do but never admit our own failings.

You want us to judge your wife with just the little narrative you put up here?
I am a lady and I know it’s hard for women to not reciprocate love.
Are you a good husband to her?
Does she have anything to look forward to whenever you are home?
Do you give her quality time and attention?
Do you act like a loving husband?

How come all of a sudden she’s depriving herself of sleep just to be with her brother?
Don’t you think it’s cos of something he is doing?

She now cooks in the morning for him, don’t you think it’s coz she believe he is worth the stress?

And the way you dismissed her off by not carrying the good food you have no maturity in marriage.
What if u collected the food and maybe later sit her down to express your displeasure?

Abeg let me not waste my advice tor

Congrats! I was thinking of Ireland over a year ago but was discouraged due to their "high tuition" and rare scholarships. Is that the general cost in your school or it spans across various schools in Ireland?

Seeing the cost of £9000 for tuition And accommodation is a fair one. Do you have any idea where loans can be taken to fund the one year MSC programs there?

I'm guessing you're in for nursing?


I'd be awaiting your response earnestly

Sorry for the late response .
Still need help ?

Jessiejagajaga:

Interesting Writeup There..@nursennenny...Hoping To Move To Ireland When I'm Ready. I Just Love D Fact That Its An English Speaking Country

oooohhh thanks
Wish you all the best .

I will list top reasons why I chose Ireland over so many other countries

1-Ireland has one of the best system of education in the world ,students in those countries even testifies this as I know a lot of international students .
2-cost of living is relatively affordable ,imagine paying your tuition and then get accommodation plus medical insurance at no extra .
Moreover you are given accommodation that is just a walking distance to the school and so this cuts cost on transportation

3-Ireland is generally safe and friendly

4-you finish your program within a relatively short period

5-Availability of 2 years post study visa i.e when u are done with studies.

6-you don't stress over getting a job

7-Ireland is destination for tourist ,so what's better than studying in a country where you can enjoy your holidays as well ?

8-My school offers swimming classes plus lots of sports clubs ,they have a gym as well .so what better way to keep my weight in check

9-You can get a residence permit within a short period unlike some countries

10-uuummm I just love the idea of studying in Ireland .

Hello.

How much is the cost of the programme?

Cost depends on the city where your school is located

Schools in Dublin are more expensive ,plus cost of living is higher in Dublin too .
Private schools are more expensive than public schools .

For my school I paid £9000,which is inclusive of accommodation for the whole year .

Cos of your question,I will make a detailed post on this soon

Nedlog:
Hello Pls D #50,400 U Paid Is It For Visa Application & Processing Or D Air Fare?...Thanks

its for the visa application alone .
That's the only money you pay at the submission center .

They have no business with your flight

@fortifiedcity hope I answered you well

I already attached a mail from the school with some highlighted areas

FortifiedCity:
Not interrogating sweetie. Your answers will inform my decision on that

ok it's fine

I am going for a one year course although I have intentions of still furthering in same country

azelab:
is it a scholarship programme or you are paying for the tuition fees yourself?

do students have privilege to work during their programme?

i am sponsoring myself

Yes students are allowed to work .

FortifiedCity:
Ok how many years course you'll be doin

Will they allow you work

seems more like you are interrogating me than making enquiries for yourself.

Hmmmmm


In the mean time ,I will wait till you have a personal question

FortifiedCity:
the cost of your registration, flight bookings

Flight depends on the airline

And price is subject to the period you will be traveling .
It's generally cheaper if u are traveling in winter and a bit high in summer .

I paid about #50,400 at the submission center in Abuja

FortifiedCity:
What was the total cost of everything

If u don't mind ,what's your definition of "everything ". ?

I applied to the Irish embassy with all the documents I could find .

My visa processing took took 6 weeks on the dot

Though the courier they used (UPS) wasted a lot of time

When I finally saw the approval on my passport,I forgot my grievances towards the courier.

Attached are the documents used

Like I promised ,I am here to share my experience getting an Irish visa in Nigeria

Firstly , all thanks to God cos it was never really easy but definitely worth it at the end .

I am not a guru on visa and won't claim to be one

I am just here to help put someone through with any little help I can offer based on my own experience.
