You were supposed to apply as a group

THUNDER4real:
If you have a relative in US, they will help you sort it out. If not, you can use these local agencies like the one you mentioned. All these local agencies at one point were like you applying to go to the US, I don’t like people fvkin giving them money if you can sort yourself. Study on your own, go through the pages of this thread, you won’t miss the road if you are sharp.

You don't even need a money order anymore. Everything is completely online now

zinnella:
Hello House, is anyone writing NCLEX soon pls let me know

I am

zagorakis:
Oh!! How can i fastrack it, since its all done online now, or did you do yours through an agent?

The application is online but they will still need to print and send to cgfns which I was able to expedite via a contact

zagorakis:
Please how long does it take nmcn to verify and send documents to cgfns.. I paid for verification over 3 weeks now

Mine took 6 weeks until I fastracked it

nipora519:
Please I need help with Cgfns . I'm new to the whole process.
I have just gotten forms from Cgfns for the verification.
How do I do the council verification,Online or offline?

Considering the present ASUU strike, is there anyother way around getting my transcript?

The last form which is secondary school related, how should I go about it?

You can upload your secondary school certificate via your cgfns portal

Obtaining your transcript is dependent on your school, I was able to do mine even during the strike.
Verification is applied online

Limited26:
I want to fasttrack my license renewal and change of name. I have already applied on the nmcn portal for change of name for over three weeks now but it's still pending. Does anyone have information on how to fasttrack the both?

My renewal was approved within 2 days but the license took about 1 month plus to arrive

FEGEITOK:
I hear it's fully online now

Oh really. This is very confusing, my contact says they still have to courier documents to cgfns which is taking ages due to some problems with their courier company. Don't know how true

vickyehi:
You have to do it manually. It is also more expensive than that of uk.

Thanks

yunqdady:
Sajpointe should pay me for this advert. Lol

They're doing well

Please guys, who knows how the nmcn verification for cgfns is done now. Is it online or do we still have to mail some forms?

Please how long does nmcn verification for cgfns take?

Is the form mailed to them cgfns like before or is it online now?

nervorum:
Lol..That boat long sailed. Denied a 2nd time, reapplied a 3rd time before it pulled thru. Took a total 3yrs, from initial application.

After the 2nd denial, went for my low hanging fruit. It was when I was already comfortably settled somewhere else, that's when it now went thru. Had to grapple with whether I was still interested or not.

Its all in the past now.

How long did each one take?

Hunnybee:
You don’t need to use the validation form from CGFNS.
Log in to your NMC UK online portal, and request a certificate of current professional status. Fill in the details as necessary, pay and submit. Ignore the form sent to you by CGFNS, they’re aware UK does not do paper.

It's now free, you don't need to pay

MOIart:
Please, I need information on this.
The thing is, I don't have my certificate as it wasn't ready when I went to collect it (last year). I got an information that it is ready, but ASUU is on strike here - another difficulty in trying to get it.

Can I use Notification of Result for NMCN verification instead of the certificate? The date on the Notification is 2019.

I will love some advice.

Thanks

If it's more than 3 years of graduation then you will definitely need your certificate

Symbae:
Please when verifying my Secondary school certificate, what documents am I expected to send to cgfns?

Should I also include the form I downloaded from cgfns?

Good morning guys thanks for your contributions here. Please who knows if the fastrack passport renewal service has been restarted again in Nigeria HC London. My passport expires August 2022, just wondering if I can started the renewal application now considering the existing backlog. Thanks

Soknown:
Yea, a bit far.

Okay. Thank you, if you have got any other options please do let me know

Soknown:
There is a room available immediately in Horley. Are you interested ?. If yes I will send the contacts of the lady to you.

I was also thinking horley is a little far from the hospital

Soknown:

I will be ready to move in by January because that's when the hospital accommodation will expire. Will it be available till then?

Soknown:
SaSH is a very lovely place to work. There is openness and good communication from top to bottom.
I can't count the numbers of time that I have met Michael Wilson CBE Chief Executive on the corridor and he greeted with a very big smile. Or Jane Dickson, the Chief Nurse holding the door for you to pass or Nicola Shopland, Assistant Chief, coming to the ward to check how you fare.
A couple of colleagues in my cohort are now Band 6, so there is opportunity for growth.
There are a lot of training to acquaint you with SaSH processes, finally it is a CQC rated - OUTSTANDING. Trust. One of 9 trust so rated in the UK.
I left because the neighbourhood is very expensive and it didn't fit into my long term plan.
@Symbae, what say you?

I concur with you soknown. So far my experience with them have being amazing and they have been supportive throughout my process. The only down part is that accomodation is quite expensive in redhill. Still on my search though, I registered on zoopla and spareroom and I'm yet to be contacted.

Soknown:
Symbae, a challenge for you.

Hahaha, new career path loading unfortunately I'm not a good writer like you.

Soknown:
Hi Symbae, thanks for your kind words.

If you want to live close to the hospital, consider - Earlswood estate ( Expensive though) or White bushes. The two locations are within walking distances to the hospital. A little farther but still within walking is Salsford and areas around Earlswood train station ( Brambletye, St' John's road, Earlsbrook road and woodland road). Otherwise try around the town Center with it's easy access to bus, taxi and train. If you are not a 'spend-shy' like me, try Noble house on Queensway. ( a two bed room is about £1200pcm). You can also consider areas around St' Anne street, really nice neighbourhood, or area around the catholic church going towards Holmesthorpe or Park 25.

Do not go towards Merstham unless you can drive. Also I will not advise going towards Linkfield lane, it is deserted and dark at night because of the trees.

Reigate is cool but expensive unless you are extremely lucky, I had someone who got a two bedroom flat at £900, She was really lucky.
Horley is also close-by.

Letting agents that you can use, Woodland and may be Connels. Do not use Andrews, Leaders and another one close to McDonald's.

If you don't have your family with you, consider a room share.

You can search through, spareroom.com, rightmove.com, zoopla.com, intolondon.com.
Please view wherever you choose before you pay.
Start searching on time, give it time. Don't rush.

By the way, Halal shop, adjacent to McDonald's sells African food stuff or you can go Taj shop in Crawley close to the County mall. When you settle down, you can go to Croydon, Peckham or Dustin to shop for your Nigerian food stuff.

Welcome and i wish you a fruitful, happy stay.

Thank you so much soknown. I'm currently at the hospital accommodation at crawley to be due soon and yes Taj shop has been my saviour from junks Lol. I dont have my family so I'm going with room share for now, I have also tried searching on some of the websites mentioned but saw few with outrageous prices. Maybe I will consider the letting agents as well as the areas you mentioned. How do I contact the letting agents? I will be coming for more survival tips

Soknown:
Good morning, I will check and revert. Thanks.

Great work Soknown, God bless. I have just moved to UK currently working at ESH, how do I go about searching for affordable accomodation in redhill or it environs close to the hospital

TheGuyFromHR:
Try again, or try Revolut. I just arrived on Tuesday and immediately set up Monzo and changed my TransferWise address, then got both Monzo and Transferwise debit cards (very useful for buying in fresh groceries, some of the majors like Sainsbury's don't take Nigerian cards), and I don't have a BRP either, still isolating.

Thank you, I have managed to open with starling bank

Mamatukwas:
Try 1st. But I think I scanned my council bill tax before I opened my account with them.

Okay will do

Mamatukwas:
Starling will also ask you for proof of residence ie utility bill in your name I think. Do you have anything? Might help.

No I dont, i will be moving to a temporary accomodation provided for me by my trust. I guess starling wont be possible either?
