I do my job well when I'm on postings and I dint find anything wrong with laying beds for patients. I personally supervise bed pan rounds when I'm in duty.

He was only joking with you. Everyone knows that nursing is the hottest cake now. As things are in Nigeria now,many won't mind packing shit just to be at your level. Cheer up man!

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.

Thank you so much for the information.

Hopefully next year all will work out.

At 32, age shouldn’t be an issue if you can cope.
There are many opportunities for nurses within and outside Nigeria, so I don’t think getting a job will be an issue.

Nursing school runs a marathon program, if you are not in the class, you are in the hospital.
As for university, the first 2 years can be busy as well, but the remaining 3 years are less busy.

Hope my explanation helps

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!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
I have a couple of questions I will like you to help shed more light:

1. how long does it takes if you would like your family to join after passing the osce exam, what are the processes involved?

2. Any disadvantage of using agent?

Thanking you...

1) I got to the UK late last month, but the people I met here passed their osce last week and they v started the process of bringing their family over. They said it will take 2-3months once the money is available.

2) There is no disadvantage at all. Infact, it’s better to use an agent because you don’t have anything to lose. Just be careful of the agent to use.

Hope these help

Thanks so much.

The preparation time depends on you.
I prepared for 3 days.
Some people prepared for weeks, some months.
The truth is the exam is very easy to pass.

They usually repeat questions. I saw exactly what I read.

The materials are online.

If you can’t get them, you can mail me, I shall forward them to you.

Please can you send the CBT preparation materials to me yugoberryt@gmail.com

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.

How far with your plans,have you picked a form yet for school of nursing?
I made enquiries about the school fees...its something else
