sherylbaky:Sorry I now understand it better. You have done OSCE at your own expense. The job advert didn't include a relocation allowance What about accomodation? Will they provide a temporal one? This is serious. Dont miss the offer. Try to look at your present saving, family too. No body for family get land? You definitely will be able to pay back. Then colleagues at work that have good relationship with you, then your church leaders. The wicked ones will try to be discouraging you or negative and discouraging but ignore them focus on the bright side. I have seen nurses who cried to their bosses, their friends and family and the support came. A closed mouth is a closed destiny. Things have really changed in UK now that Nigerians, Chinese, India, Pakistan have filled the place. Nigerians pay N8million to get certificate of Sponsorship now which was formally free. Third world citizens there have corrupted and rubbished the system 2 Likes |

Things have changed fr. It's no longer easy to get an NHS offer. If your family can support you financially, i think you should go for it. It will all be worth it. Good luck. 4 Likes |

I can totally relate. My sister, a nurse, had to sponsor herself to the UK to write the OSCE and thankfully, she passed. She got her NMC pin, went back to Nigeria and started applying for jobs. After about 600 applications, she finally got about 10 invites. Most of them, however, cancelled when she mentioned she couldn’t attend interviews on-site. She finally got one offer. She made it clear during the interview that she required sponsorship for work visa. They said no problem! Two weeks after the offer was made, they sent her a regret mail (excerpt below) that they couldn’t go ahead because she’s from a red list country! Unfortunately we cannot process your application any further on this occasion. We currently recruit overseas Nursing staff through an NHS Trust Supplier and we adhere to the NHSE Code of Practice in relation to applicants from Red List countries. This means we cannot accept any direct applications from candidates who are not already based in the UK. She got two more offers, and, again time to send COS, they sent a similar mail. She finally got a fourth offer from a trust that will pay for everything! We couldn’t even rejoice until she got the visa because she had been burnt three times! I forgot to add, before she did the OSCE, she had a physical interview with a care home that offered (verbally) to sponsor her and reimburse expenses etc once she gets her PIN. When she got it, she reached out to them but they eventually told her they couldn’t bring her from Nigeria. They thought she had some kind of visa to stay in the UK (she clearly told them she didn’t o) This is what I think 1. Focus on passing your OSCE (have you written it already?) 2. Follow through to the end and see if they will actually sponsor you once they realize you will be applying for visa from outside the UK. My sister got 4 offers rescinded when they realized she needed to move from a red list country 3. I know it costs a lot of money to get to the stage you are already. I live abroad and was able to pay for most things for my sister- I don’t know how she’d have done it otherwise, with the exchange rate and all. If you have someone close to you living abroad, consider asking for help and setting up a realistic payment plan. You possibly need money for - visa application (If you live outside Lagos or Abuja, factor in the cost of travelling for biometrics etc) -Flight to the UK -one month accommodation -maintenance until your first pay cheque Calculate this, know your numbers and then see how to go about it Meanwhile keep applying especially to those that take overseas nurses.

Hiya I don’t think the OP is clout chasing at all. The whole process is super expensive especially if one is earning in naira with the unstable exchange rate! I can see how this can drain one’s resources. GreatChizzy: |

1. Is the offer worth it, and should I accept it considering how difficult it is to get NHS offers now? Whether or not the offer is worth it depends on your circumstances and priorities. On the one hand, it is challenging to get NHS offers, so you may be lucky to have two. On the other hand, the financial burden of relocating to the UK without any relocation assistance from your employer is significant. You will need to weigh the pros and cons carefully before deciding. 2. If I go through Health and Care Worker Visa Route, the visa processing fees will be cheaper than Skilled Worker, but is it advisable? The Health and Care Worker visa route is a new route that was introduced in August 2022. It is designed to make it easier for healthcare workers to visit the UK. The visa processing fees are cheaper for the Health and Care Worker visa than for the Skilled Worker visa. However, there are some restrictions on the Health and Care Worker visa. For example, you can only work for a limited number of NHS employers. If you are a registered nurse, you may be eligible for the Health and Care Worker visa. However, you should carefully consider the visa restrictions before making a decision. 3. Is it advisable to take a loan and invest in the relocation plans since I have an offer already? Taking out a loan to finance your relocation is a personal decision that should not be taken lightly. There are many factors to consider, such as your creditworthiness, the interest rate on the loan, and the length of the repayment term. Before taking out a loan, shop for the best interest rate and repayment terms. You should also make sure that you can afford the monthly payments. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to take out a loan is up to you. However, you should carefully consider the risks and rewards before making a decision. 2 Likes |

Fyorgyn: This is quite insightful. Thank you for the detailed response. I am yet to write OSCE. The Trust is aware of this. They also know I will be relocating from Nigeria. I disclosed my visit visa status to them which they already confirmed from the Home Office. I will go with their offer and struggle it out. Thank you so much 1 Like |
