Charltex:
Diploma remains the basic requirement for UK RN.

"Mapping" comes into play when you want to do a Top Up program or any academic program.

Charltex:
Hello NurzCee,

In the UK, an organization called NARIC does what is called "mapping" on international certificates to compare it with the UK academic system. Most Nigerian Nursing Diploma certificates don't measure up to the UK diploma Certificate to proceed with the BSC Top Up instantly, they measure up-to level 3; whereas you need a level 5 to proceed with BSC Top Up. Hence, the need for a sort of bridge program to level up. No one is issued an Associate Certificate, what Cowbelly is saying in essence is that our diploma certificates don't measure up to the required level after Mapping.

Fwaz:
Going to coventry yes but my visa got refused still hoping they will overturned their decision

CowbellY:
See...

This is why I want to know someone who is currently in the program.

CowbellY:
But Charltex said the same thing as well... Sigh.. I'm not arguing with you. I actually want to be proved wrong, so I have a case to challenge with. That's why I brought it here.

Please show us the links. So I and Charltex can challenge this, if you know anyone who also didn't have to apply, perhaps you can share so we know what schools to apply to.

And it's RN

CowbellY:
If you can share them then, because someone else also confirmed that an associate certificate is requested.

Or perhaps you apply and share your experience so we can know better

CowbellY:
Yes but I also asked earlier.

Have you attempted a top-up ? Were you allowed to proceed directly into BSc Nursing without an associate/graduate module first ?.

CowbellY:
Thanks.

I was told Nigeria's RN is rated as Level 3.

Seems everyone has to do an associate first.

vickyehi:
Please let's try to keep the conversation on this thread. That way, others can input into the advice and/or correct any misconceptions.
Thanks

@Solarpower1 I think the very best you can do for yourself at this moment is to write and pass ielts and see many doors opening. Cheers

barbiee:
oh, I thought you were in the uk

ifemaco:
Good evening. Please I would like to know if there will be a salary difference for someone that did attend only nursing school here in Nigeria and looking towards working in the UK, with someone that has a bsc in nursing. Thank you

barbiee:
Where is your location? We can plan to attend the seminar together

barbiee:
NMC uk will be hosting 4 workshops about this new process and I plan to attend one in march cause I'm not very conversant with the new inclusions. If you have any questions you want me to ask Nmc please let me know so I can ask the questions on your behalf.

Laurendee:
Can a registered nurse with a BSN also apply for a post graduate certificate in critical care nursing or nursing leadership and administration let’s say in a college? Is it possible to get admission and visa since the person also has a bsn

NwanyiOkpa:
Mehn. I don't even understand his point.

THUNDER4real:
You are wrong..it will affect EB3 visa. The ban is on immigrant visa.

Bakaay:
I just info that Donald trump has placed a ban on Nigerian immigration, will this affect nurses planning to travel through agencies like avant?

idu1:
Is there age limit in there recruitment?

POAK:
Hi NurzCee,
I am a registered basic midwife that did post basic nursing program (18 months).
I already passed ielts and I am about to register in the NMC UK website.
Should i register as an adult nurse or a midwife or is it possible to register for both as i am a little confused ?
I will immensely appreciate your reply. Thank you

perxie:
Hi NurzCee, I've both rn & bnsc from the same university, pls which of the certificate should I upload on UK nmc site. thanks

tobyemmanuel:
Thanks so much for this

Itsgrace:
Good morning everyone, I am a graduate of Human physiology, I want to become a registered nurse outside the country, what steps should I take about it.

tobyemmanuel:
OK thanks.
I have a friend who will complete her RN program next year. Now she's planning what next after the program. She's divided between going for BSN or working.
She doesn't want to work or study in Nigeria. I'd like to know how studying nursing abroad works and the process. She's really concerned about the number of years it will take. About working, I'd like to know how that works too including the best countries to go and process involved.
